The tips are really cool and helpful but just seeing whatever model you're demonstrating with makes this worth the watch. They're such cool sculpts ToT

god video

Oof that TopoGun interface gives me flashbacks, never going back after trying retopoflow 3

The qunari in Dragon Age 2 is one of my hear me out cake LOL. No shame

I'm not experienced in 3d modeling. Why is good topology so important

I think it was a mistake making them a playable race in the game. Before they were playable in inquisition and vailguard they were mysterious and unique after they became playable they just became horned humans and were bland

*We Are The Berasadd!*

3dsmax has this as well, but you have the option to follow the edge flow curvature so it puts the edge where the subdivided version would be, not just smack in the middle.

These shorts are pure gold. Thanks for mentioning blender as an alternative.

I agree the Qunari from DA2 is the best one in my opinion it stands apart from the other races, looks intimidating and even alien. Qunari from Veilguard are just cosplayers to me.

Maya right?

Drsfon Age 2 had the best qunari, yet was not good as Orogins or Inquisiton. Woke Age Fail Hard is not even dragon age to me.

thats why i hate the character creation for DA Veilguard. I hate it to the point it is giving me headache! hahahaha

The final steps didn't make sense to me, no explanation

Legend, explained it in a way that made sense

They lack masculinity. They all look like British cigarettes.

it's like some The Sims 4 DLC

Absolute life-saver, thank you!

thats bad. you've just lost a whole lot of sculpt detail by doing that. the purpose of cleaning edge loops is to make sure you dont have geometry that collapses into awful shapes. Not to make it look like a poly-sphere.

and if you want to do retopology in Blender I recommend the addon RetopoFlow, which is free if you're a student, teacher, or aim to use it solely for personal use and not commercial. It's really intuitive.

How can I like somethin twice?

Or just use any sculpting tool and press ctrl+shift+lmb to relax your topology. You can also do it in quad draw tool by pressing B to activate soft selection and shift to activate relax brush.

I think Blender's built in Loop Tools addon works similarly? It has a feature called Relax that seems to do a similar thing

cool

if u want not to lose the shape, better way of doing this is using a package like Wrap4D and using relax tool in there .very powerful tool.

They started watering down the design in DAI and just kept going down that road to DAV. It's a damn shame

The "LoopTools -> Relax" also brings good results.

Maya looks kinda shit....

Satisfyinggg

Sculpt details then bake to normal/height map for a lower poly model

Твое лицо будто яйцо

why loop is important for retopo ?

I don't understand how the devs were happy with this like come on

You can paint normal maps you just got to do the colors separately and understand normals very well. Its hard though so most of the time you want to generate it unless its for something easier to paint, and theres reason to paint it.

thanks for that. I tried to use the same for a cylinder which is connected at 45degree (vs 90degree as shown in your video), but the loop cut doesnt work well (Ctrl +R)..can you give an explanation of how that can be done.

this tuto helping me a lot, Thanks FN 😃

I would not call that model visually pleasing lol

To be fair, since inquisition the Qunari looks bad. (At least the inquisitor).

All races look like humans in DA:V. It's so lazy. In the previous games, the Elves had elongated, pointy faces with wide set eyes and a very slender body compared to the humans. The male dwarves also had a certain look to them. Same for the Qunari. But now they all look like humans. It's peak lazy.

Woke topology is what it is LOL

That game cringe ! Hahaha

One I noticed was the model work in Halo Infinite. I took the models into blender and oh my God they were a mess. But, they worked.

Wrong, cell shading, always. Lol.jk

How do you delete the edges without deleting the faces?

I wish I was this peaceful with topology. The moment I make a mistake I go insane and regret ever modeling LMAOO

I have no clue what the hell a loop is for, but i would trust this guy with mine

I wish we had that in blender

people complain about triangles... but it's all gonna be triangles in the end.

cool I enjoy those short form straight to the point videos

Thanks!
