Steve can you do a test for me?

Start  Blender3d, if you don't have it yet.
Sudo aptitude install blender

Then see how many vertexes you can have in a shape and still have the
the sculpt tool working well with quick updates to the screen.
Because I know this is a new program for you the commands are:
X and then ok to delete the start up cube.
space bar -> add -> UVsphere
tab puts you in edit mode is you are in object mode
then w1 subdivides and each time you get more verts.
You can see how many at the top of the screen ( ve 0, 1000, ed 0, 600,
fa 0, 300). That means vertexes 0 selected 1000 there, then edges,
then faces.

To get into sculpture mode look at where it says edit mode or object
mode and select sculpt mode. See if you can sculpt. You will find it
works well at the start but then as you keep subdividing you will get
to many verts and the screen update takes like 5 seconds so you can no
longer work the tool well.

If this is all to much for you, thanks anyway. No problem.

Best,
