Can anyone please explain the difference between polygonal modeling and digital sculpting?

$\begingroup$ The difference in what manners? The procedure of modeling, or the way the software processes the modeling? $\endgroup$ – Georges Mar 31 '16 at 18:14

$\begingroup$ I'd say, polygon modeling when you modify the geometry (extrude / fill faces etc) or edit it very much to roughly fit the sketch, while sculpting - you only slightly change vertices position to refine the shape and exactly fit the sketch. $\endgroup$ – Mr Zak Mar 31 '16 at 19:29

$\begingroup$ The procedure of modeling. But I wouldn't mind If you could tell me also how the software processes the modeling. $\endgroup$ – Evelyn Mar 31 '16 at 19:58

In my personal opinion sculpting is better than polygon modeling - it's because in this world there is no perfection, so when you sculpt the model looks alive and like having a soul in it.
