This makes it possible to sculpt complex shapes out of a simple mesh,
rather than just adding details onto a modeled base mesh.

With dynamic topology active, most brushes will subdivide the mesh during the stroke.		With dynamic topology active, most brushes will subdivide the mesh during the stroke.

:Panel: :menuselection:`Tool Settings --> Brush --> Topology Rake`

Topology Rake automatically aligns mesh edges to the brush direction
to generate cleaner topology and define sharp features.
Topology Rake can have a severe performance impact so it works best on low-poly meshes.
