Blender Quick tip №6. Retopology: creating stone pt.2

creativeshrimp.com
In this video, we'll go through the 5 ways of semi-automatic retopology, exemplified by our stone.
1. Triangulate and convert tris to quads
2. Remesh modifier
3. Shrinkwrap modifier
4. Contour add-on by CgCookie

Thanks for watching! In pt.3, we're going to sculpt this stone using dynamic topology.

Only other way I knew was quite tedious and manual- using shrinkwrap to bind a plane 1mm or 2mm above surface of target mesh and hiding the plane, placing new vertices that snap to the surface of mesh. Then using the polybuild tool (in 2.8). I think there is also an add on called F2 that can help but I've not used it. Thanks for showing me some other ways!

Потрясающий ролик, спасибо! Люблю уроки без "воды".

[@wanilsonfigueiredo573]

Really very good tips on this video. Thank you, Alexandrov, for sharing your knowledge!! Very nice of you.

[@oserefemhenativie1090]

I love your tutorials. They answer many questions I've had. Keep 'em coming bro. Thumbs up! Even more they are short and still answer my questions. That's fun.

[@Havoc2003414]

More quick "tutorials" like this. Maybe a TINY bit longer, but this is almost perfect. You have yourself a new subscriber.

[@ramil2733]

The shrink-wrap method is genius!

[@AkanBrownStudios]

I've finally found what I was looking for. Big thanks

[@chukwudiebite7775]

Bravo! What a great tutorial

[@nuchinuchitekton7730]

WOW WOW WOW This is super helpful :D

[@Fitzliputzli23]

Very useful! Thanks!

[@420Sumanta]

You are awesome buddy :D

[@cybermollusk]

Non manifolds are the bane of my existence, so this was extremely helpful. Thank you. I like tutorials that are brisk and don't take forever talking but this was a tiny bit too fast. I had to rewatch a few times. Still very helpful. I think there are some other add-ons that help with that too right?

[@gnightrow4020]

I wish I could've seen this video sooner so I wouldn't have wasted so much of my time

[@DaleTDJJohnson]

wow really like this thanks so much for showing how to do this..

[@djemerica]

OMG Thank you!!

[@incyberideas]

Отлично Глеб, так держать. Лаконично и сочно.

[@incyberideas]

единственное что на сложных мешах трисы в квады не особо желают превращаться

[@chiboreache]

ты же не думаешь что он русский?

Reuploaded the video about automatic retopology methods in Blender

[@ThomasSanjurjo]

Tris quads tends to be my favorite. When I saw the stones video that's immediately what I thought of, needs retopo!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Exactly! Tris quads is more or less obscure and mysterious. But it works, and sometimes works really well. This all methods are viable to some extent :)

[@qutorial]

What song is this?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

From youtube free music library - called Daisy Dukes

[@ahmedkacibi1372]

@@GlebAlexandrov that all i wont just tips no muchs talking

[@RBRallyLT]

Thanks mate!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

You are welcome!

[@Serhii_Sirko]

Thanks!

[@mkusanagi1935]

ctrl "t" in edit mode triangulates the 6 sides in a cube. but all the uv unwrapping etc. seems a bit tedious for what should be a simple one button go process to ascii export. :\ -msi

[@abilalp9104]

thank you

[@sai101f]

are these methods apply when i have high resolution character like “zbrush” “blender sculpt” also thank you for posting this tutorial i was looking for other ways instead doing it by hand

[@hipolitopadilla1655]

Hello, How do you see the faces in object mode and the preview of remesh before applying it?

[@perdian00]

bien bien bien!!!!!=)

[@yapanwolf]

Gleb do U know how to quad text? i tried to use this methods on text(svg) but with no sucses

[@seanhorgan1908]

Is this strategy of retopology useful if you want to rig and animate something?

[@thechallenger6124]

wow i didnt know shrinkwrap could me done that way

[@irawanmas4902]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww very helpfull

[@TinoMinor]

How did they get their blender to look like that?

[@RonnieMirands]

Love that intro song. which song it it?

[@Yotrymp]

The sharp remesh just caused a bunch of weird distortion for me.

[@iamcreasy]

I've found retopologizing high poly rocks particularly difficult. I've tried different combinations, but none of those retain strong contour of the original model.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Indeed, retopology of complex model is tricky, in terms of contour preserving. Sometimes, the best solution is to do it by hand, using F2 plugin, Grid Fill and other tools to speed up this process. Or combine semi-automatic solutions with manual.

[@b0tster]

Step 7 Do it by hand ;D

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Step 8 - ask someone to do it :) Yeah, the list goes on and on. The topic of retopology is quite wide - in this vid we discuss mainly automatic means of retopo.

[@b0tster]

Yeah, learned a bit from this video, thanks!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Steven Walther you're welcome!

[@marinabarradas1691]

in the second 0:22 there is the base sculpture and a second later a flat figure comes out. How do you go from the base sculpture to the flat figure?

[@clashwithx6775]

I would say he had that premade and just cut the video by the looks of it.

[@Marcastle]

What is the name of this song?

[@AfxCrush]

how can I check the wireframe in object mode? like 1:18

[@GlebAlexandrov]

In 'object' panel, turn on display wire.

[@AfxCrush]

thanks! I found out :) great tutorials

[@emacegd706]

Hi. Arent trises bether than quads for game. Thx

[@recurveninja]

If you're still interested: No, models should still use primarily quads, and triangles should be avoided wherever possible. This is because triangles interfere with subdivision, which is often used to create higher-poly versions of models so that they can be used to bake normal maps, and it also interferes with animation, because triangles simply do not have enough points to deform cleanly. However, when the graphics card is rendering things, it renders them as triangles anyways, where 1 quad is just 2 triangles connected diagonally. It does this because it's just faster to run calculations on 3 vertices than 4. It's worth mentioning that there's nothing necessarily wrong with using triangles on completely planar surfaces that will never be animated or subdivided.

[@krolbren6311]

How can I get the Add-on? I can't find it anywhere.

[@Metallllllll667]

интересно, а откуда вообще N-гоны берутся?) Только вижу их иногда у кого-то, у самого никогда не получались)

[@fjdcm61218]

say i don't care? rocks..sometimes..jeje

[@antoni6609]

here is no useful info, just random combination of modifiers

[@meriquinnell8541]

Horrible loud music

[@IS-dy8pi]

2019 is here, but you are still living in the 2002 without a mic. Honestly this isn't so easy to read, analyze an information and watch SPEED BOOSTED video dude.
