That's my favorite type of workflow. You input your idea without spending much time on technicalities and the software does all the nerdy job. And the same reason i adore Houdini and Geometry nodes - you can setup a system that does everything time consuming and then just enter some shapes or values and it does everything for you. That idea is the big part of future game dev and 3d overall

I recently released a new Nomad Sculpting course - How to Sculpt a Trex on your Ipad. One of the Bonus Videos was how to Retop a model in ZBrush using ZRemesher. Not everyone has ZBrush and Blender doesn't have an auto retop solution that I'm aware of. I might be wonrg as it changes so often. I do love Retopoflow for Blender but again, it's not free an. Instant Meshes is Free and super easy!

The only problem I see with this software is it doesn't concentrate vertex density around areas of high curvature - the flat section of the back has as much detail as the crease in the leg. I've seen another paper that does something clever: It "inflates" the mesh so that the mesh has uniform curvature everywhere, applies an operation like this, and then pulls the vertices back to where they were. The result is a very high quality topology that is much more efficient about preserving detail while not wasting as much geometry around flat areas. It produces retangle shaped quads, not squares as shown here, but for many applications this is better.
@SouthernGFX3 жыл бұрын
Do you have a link to that paper?
@SouthernGFX3 жыл бұрын
I use ZBrush for this job for exactly the reason you are pointing out. You can paint areas red or blue to increase or decrease density. Add to that ZRemsher guides and it gives me the best control in an automated solution that I know of.

Is this arrangement then undone if I bring into nomad, do some modeling and then do a Voxel remesh? Is this most useful for a file you didn’t create and want to use or at what point would a model you are creating in nomad benefit from this?

It's easier to sculpt on subdivision / multiresolution surfaces. You work on the low resolution when you need to make large changes or smooth out wobbles, and work on high resolution when you work on details. You can go back and forth as you make changes at various scales.
