- [Instructor] This video is on the drag command, which isn't a drag at all actually, it's very, very useful. Click on sculpt, under volume and the first brush here is drag. Now, without going into wire frame or anything, I'm going to start clicking and dragging and you can see that this is a kin to pushing clay around. Now, you might think that this is similar to the draw tools, where you're creating volume. But, this is actually taking the existing volume and doing things to it instead of creating new volumes that you would use with the draw tools. Click on W, we haven't changed the density of the mesh all that much, but under refinement, you certainly can play around with refinement to see what that does. Now here, I turned reduction down. And it's actually making the mesh a bit more complex and irregular as I drag it around. That can be okay or, if you want to keep a refined mesh, you can actually go back up to the reduce tool and as you move it around, your mesh will get better…
