I ran into a lot of technical issues with Blender making this character. He’s not as refined as I’d like but it got to a point where Blender was just stuttering, which is weird because it was only 600,000 polys. I could move around smoothly, but when I tried sculpting, it would slowly plop down one dot at a time. I tried changing my brush stroke type to space, dots, airbrush, etc, but it didn’t help. I still like how it turned out. Not bad for my first time using Blender’s sculpting tools. I will definitely be working on other characters and try to see where Blender breaks (or if I just hit a key and did something weird to break it).
For reference, my setup is a Nvidia 3060, 32gb ram, 12th gen Intel i7 processor. I don’t think the hardware was the issue.

It could be that you also using some sort of subdivision multiplier. Memory usage exploding … check memory resource monitor of your OS.

In older Blender versions (2.8 area) this behavior was common when sculpting.
You could tweak this with some parameters (I forgot). It has also a specific problem term term (also forgotten). It has to do, how a brush stroke is interpreted / handled internally.
Maybe this helps you to search the web.

Thank you for the feedback. At the time it happened, I did check Task Manager, and my memory usage was only at 10%. CPU was at 23%. I verified Blender was using the Nvidia card and setup to use CUDA. I’m on Blender 3.5. I did some Google searching but didn’t come up with an answer that worked.
I’ll keep an eye out during my next sculpt and see what the issue may have been.
