re zremesher R3 pacth

Ruz

I just updated zbrushR7 to r3 patch and zremesher is 'so' much better now.
gives me a good base to work for retopo.
i think it was actually a bit broken in previous R7 versions

I left it on more or less default settings for a pair of trousers( apart form turning off adaptive) I was working on and it knocked out decent enough topology.

polycount set to 2k, with no curves, but
adaptive and curves set to default at 50.

had to use a few curves for a head I was working on but still nice results

uggh wish you could edit post titles:/

Patch 3 has been out for a while, hasn't it?

10/10 productionready tool!

Ruz

haha I think you are doing it wrong ravenslayer and that is not the patch 3 version if I am not mistaken
I don't think these are too bad as a base to edit further



it seems to struggle with a mouth a little at times, but thats easily editable. I would prefer to do this than have to retopo the whole mesh from scratch

trousers was the default with adaptive turned off - far from ideal, but not that bad. the previous unpatched version of zbrush release 7 just gave a horrible mess



good to have some contructive feedback and maybe contribute some additional suggestions

nother quick one - eyes need some work

Yeah Ravenslayer you have symmetry turned off and maybe you had it off for the sculpting. Zremesher does a great job. Here is what I got from p2 with a dynamesh. The topo isnt that important at this stage its just variation in res and to get sub ds on a dynamesh.

No muss no fuss no spirals! Its real magic on trouble areas like ears. I like to do the end topo myself but as a tween step its a great tool and there is a lot you can reuse.

Ruz

hey kanga, how do you get such a different res on the hands/head as acompared to the body. did you use polypaint when you zremeshed or did you do each bit separately?

Ruz

I realised about the local subdivision, just wondered if there was some magic apart for the polypaint option let you zremesh locally.
for a example whole human body does not zremesh very well for me. got to do some more tests though as I enjoy researching these things

lol yeah that was the worst example i could come up with but i`ve been frustrated lately with how zremesher seems to handle eyeloops. i dont know what it is but it keeps giving me bad results even though i put in the same zremesher guides as i did before. i tried it in p3 but its the same

Ek, my polycount account stopped notifying me of responses so I missed this. dustinbrown is right I just hid the head, hands and feet and remeshed, zremesher took care of all the connections.

Those are some pretty nice results you got on the face topology!

Ruz

Cheers kanga and thanks for the info
yes they look quite good , considering I did not do too much to get that kind of result

was n't quite as impressive when I tried it on a dynameshed version of the head though
