Getting my high poly mesh out of zbrush with textures

Notes

Ok, so here I have this mesh in zbrush which is at 113 Million polys

with plenty of subtools to get along with it. Questions is,what's the best way to retopologizing everything? Do I have to go through every subtool one at a time?
This was started in zbrush so it's no UV'd yet; will the retopologized low poly contain the info of the polypaint or would I have to restart the texture process in photoshop after I export the retopologized lowpoly and unwrap that in Maya or Max?
Thanks

It really depends if youre gona rig it or not. I would export a mid res to any program that you can retop in. ie Topogun, 3dmax...

read this post on transfering polypaint to lowpoly. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1222762&postcount=3

this vid shows how to transfer polypaint in topogun. https://vimeo.com/7993810

Notes

I saw a video of rigging being done in zbrush and wanted to try that as well....but the vid doesn't show if it's possible to export the rig or not; I wasn't sure if the rigging within zbrush was just used to pose the character....
thanks for the vid btw...giving them a shot

It's just to pose. You might be able to animate it in zbrush, but beyond that it wouldn't be like a normal rig.
