No. :stare: 

And Val, yes :aha: 

And now if I could remember which tools they used for sculpting and whether voxels were supposed to be big or small... :dry: Mine doesn't seem to reshape in any way like the stuff did in the videos I actually watched. At least partially. :whistle:

How small?
So far everything I have entered have resulted in a very reduced weird looking mesh...

The last time I remember using remesh was for the Angry God thing and here's the mesh density for that guy...

 

...this had a value of 0.03 and resulted in a quarter of a million polygons, but I'm not sure if the scale of your model affects that.
When in sculpt mode you can also press Shift-R to set the remesh value in a visual interactive way.
For more recent stuff, including Yoda, I've been using the Dyntopo function for details rather than remeshing but that does leave you with horrendous topology.

It's funny. When I first tried 0.01 it just shrivelled up the entire figure into I dunno what. But when I tried it again after reading your post, it worked. :dumb: Seems that's very often the case with Blender, somehow.

(I tried 0.03 first but me having a full body, it didn't give the same level of detail - 0.01 ended up looking kind of like yours.)
