Can I increase size of my object after I finish sculpting without losing quality? My understanding is that if I’m using the art only in virtual reality, the size won’t matter. I would be able to enlarge the art to room size if needed. If I want to print my piece or export it to another program that’s when I’d run into trouble.
You can scale an object as big or small as you’d like and the quality remains the same no matter what. The problem is that when scaling it up, it’s like zooming in on an object. Think of it like a face- when far away, you can see eyes, mouth, etc. But when you get up close you can see all the wrinkles, pores, etc.
From far, the wrinkles, pores, etc. are still there, you just can’t see them.
When scaling an object up, it’s like zooming in or looking at the object up close. It’s the same object and quality, it just will make all the facets and edges bigger and more noticeable.

Thanks for your response. I want to have a 10 inch version of my character, not the half inch it is now. When scaling up do I need to add to the model to enlarge it or just change the measurements?
