How to Retopologize in Blender without Addons

[@davidbiggs1109]

Retopolgy shading in edit mode works much better than selecting "In Front" in viewport display

[@FlippedNormals]

Thank you! Thats a great tip

[@penwozhere]

YOU LEGEND!!!! i always start making a model with lovely neat topology but as it increases in complexity i kinda give up a little and end up with some super bad practices, this is gonna be such a life saver

[@ekyanso4253]

Adding to this for anyone who wants to smooth out their topology, holding Shift with the "slide relax" tool in sculpting mode will let you smooth out your topology, without changing its shape.

[@Al1987ac]

Why do you need Shrinkwrap, if you already have snapping enabled? Isn't that redundant?

[@ArtAmplified]

Whats the ideal retopo solution though? maya quad draw, topogun, retopoflow, something else?

[@Alex-by4zv]

At least F2 is a must. I don't see why anyone would skip that one

[@James.Just.James.]

a lot of people are complaining about this cos its actually an outdated set up. You can just turn on surface snapping and the retopology overlays in "overlays". No need to enable "in front" settings.

[@juancamilobolanos7297]

Incredible you gotta do that in Blender, while in Maya you just only need to make the mesh live and start quad drawing 💀

[@3DLamy]

yep... we really need an add on or an big update for retopo in blender

[@redotix9952]

Don't get me started on the features Maya is missing that Blender has natively

[@FPChris]

Or use 3DCoat

Is Face Project better than Face Nearest ?

[@arianullah6257]

Different options for different use cases

[@markiemarkchannel]

Jeez what a setup. So many hoops to jump through just to get started. Great advertisement for Maya's QuadDraw.

[@DavidLewi-j6k]
