Mirror and subdivisions to sculpting

Support Modeling
1

Hey guys, I´ve been trying to learn Blender for only five days now and I´m to the point where I ask questions…

So basically I have a model (which includes a few different objects), which I want to take to the next level and sculpt it to add details. But the model is made using Mirror modifier. So my first question is if there is a way to apply the modifier permanently (I don´t want the rest of the changes nor the sculpt to be mirrored).

Second question is about subdivision for the sculpt. Do I use the Subdivision mesh tool in edit mode or do it differently? (As far as my guess goes, the modifier wouldn´t do much good here).

Thank you for any help in advance!

Press the Apply button in the modifier settings

For sculpting use the Multiresolution modifier or in the sculpt tools use Dynamic Topology
