Notes

Make sure that you have a somewhat subdivided object. If the faces are large relative to your brush size it may appear that it doesn't work.

Tools

• push/pull - sculpts a bump with a fall off on the mesh. Use static mesh to paint a ridge of a fixed size.
• grow/shrink - moved verts away or towards the mouse, use a low pressure for subtle results.
• spin - Rotate about the normal using the mouse point as a center, and the brush size as a radius.
• relax - Move verts to make surround faces less skinny.
  the pressure needs to be fairly high to be able to notice an effect
• goo - Drag a part of the mesh as if its liquid rubber.
  Use a pressure of 1.0 and static mesh disabled for expected results.

Some examples below-
