The beginning was very helpful. Now I know the most important edge loops to tackle first next time I do a retopo job. Thanks for the vid, @FlippedNormals!

[@kokoze]

I love retopo! The best thing about it is comparing the vertex count from the sculpt mesh and the retopo mesh

[@eldiegoasecas]

ikr and solving meshes trying not to use tris and ngons is a great mind exercise

[@Sauric121]

Just came back from watching your guy's new retopo tutorial for Blender 2.8! Just using that as a basis, I was able to learn a lot about workflow from this video! I'm still curious about a bunch of things, like how the process for the fingers translates into blender, and why you inset/divided the faces you did when going back through the mesh, so I hope your next tutorial hits us soon! Thanks a ton for what you've provided us with so far!

Loved the music and the video. The soundtrack reminded me of Soul Reaver Legacy of Kain, for the original PS1.

[@rickthedude8483]

I had the exact same thought

[@dodgemastersama]

Exactly what I needed! Some inspiration on where to start and important edge loops for a character.

[@InfiniteComboReviews]

These are cool, but I really wish more retopo videos showed of retopoing characters with clothes, full of hanging cloth, large and small wrinkles, and different accessories.

[@clydesupot]

now I know where loops go for character rigging .. this is very helpful

[@kidehoward93]

That was so satisfying to watch and man that smooth/equalizer of verts surface area tool is amazing

[@NikolaNiKucu]

I was quite happy with this tutorial! Got the basics straight.. and rest is up to the future riggers to rate the topology xD

[@mikelelele7112]

My god your topology is so clean... I still have a lot to learn I guess.

[@lonelylama5222]

It most be so nice when you are finally done! I know the pain of retopo.

[@DaymiianSFT]

Frickin sick

[@cyffrowy2882]

This is sooooo useful thank you!

[@ZephrusPrime]

We'll build him better, faster, stronger...

[@milagros104]

question: I did that and UV mapping, brought it to Substance and back to Maya.... how do I add the details of the Sculpt figure to the retop model? (i hope I make sense, sorry)

[@MarcZero7]

What's the music called? It motivates me for some reason.. oh wait.. that's right. ANXIETY. But seriously, Title & Artist?

[@MarcZero7]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKrJfWyCeJZ3eZY Nnnnnnicee.

[@webtester936]

​@@MarcZero7 Dunno if it there but still thanks! Very similiar vibes

[@amp7224]

Does anybody no what an acceptable poly count for a film character asset base mesh is? I got the retopo down to a degree and I'm at 6114 before subdivision and at 24k after subdivision.is this to dense?

[@sidd_bal8118]

Hey guys, first of all, LOVE your videos and way of relaying the information! So secondly, I couldn't find any videos on XGen neither in your video list nor in the Tutorial list in your website. Any chances on making one? For I think reliable tutorials on Fur and Hair styling using XGen can't be found, like, anywhere on the internet(no documentation references please :D). Hope that it'd be something that'll be covered later on. Keep rocking :D

[@Khether0001]

Well, you can send it to ZBrush and Polygroup everything to guarantee that when you ZRemesh it the edgeloops will be where you need it, but of course nothing beats drawing up each poly individually. I wish 3ds max had tools like make an object Live and Quad Draw on top of it (is this what it is called?) as good as Maya's.

[@niteshsingla5447]

Sir can you tell me why retopolgy is important please 🙏

[@benjamineyzaguirre9644]

how long did it take?

[@nut45912]

Why you adjust as symmetry quad draw for retopology?

[@sivaraman957]

Can we make retopology through Zremesher?

[@artsyguy209]

Do I have to redo normal maps after?

[@mae2309]

Quick fellows, do a zbrush to marmoset process tutorial.. unwrapping included... (do we have to unwrapped our model in order of taking it to marmoset)??. Thank you!!. Cheers

[@mae2309]

@Yuki Yuno thank you.

[@admiralamel9563]

Finally, a good music!

[@khokh699]

is this animation level retopo?

[@Evergladez]

Flip comes through again

[@nilifaraji6042]

Could you speak more about software painting Tnk you

[@VinnyelA]

wassap guys?i have a question..which version of Zbrush is good? Zbrush 2019 or Zbrush 4R8??

[@9232303961]

Can we bring blender eevee like real time rendering engine in Maya. Being a Maya user Eevee makes me jealous.

[@zatso4617]

What kind of program is he using?

[@bossificationm7690]

Oh right oops...Maya.

[@ShotGun1861]

@@bossificationm7690 the video shows retopo in maya, what are you talking about?

[@cowboylerma]

Maya 2018! Quad draw tool

[@TheStealth128]

Resident evil?

[@MDUmairKh]

Guys FFS. Do a video on character skinning (weight painting) and deforms/pose editor.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

You draw lots of circles first, can this really not be done in Zbrush?

[@bossificationm7690]

Zbrushes retop tools make the job harder than it needs to be....

[@HeyaHoyah]

Don't be a Zbrush cowboy, Maya is pretty great at retopology imo

[@xox8717]

@@HeyaHoyah maya is slow & quad draw is buggy, i prefer to do the retopo in zbrush or 3d coat.

[@end-me-please]

or cry alot

[@MR3DDev]

Now why would I buy the video if you are posting it here for free? Hope u are not going to start doing that with all your payed videos.

[@kloa4219]

It's the non-timelasped version with commentary, just provides context to what they're doing.

[@Exagerardo]

the wrost creepy music ever to do this....wtf?

[@ulysse6916]

This looks painful to do
