Whats Wrong With My Topology!?

David Wakelin · Dec 2012

Hi guys,

retopping my first ever character so i'm kinda new to this stuff and i've been using the polycount wiki extensively! I'm making this character 15K Tris and been using a similar topology to that of the Drake example on there.

Can anyone give me some pointers to improve it? Is it ok? Will it suffice or is it more of a personal opinion sort of thing aslong as i've got the poles and quads in the right places?

Cheers!

Looks pretty good, Id get rid of the triangle on the chin though. Just ctrl+backspace in 3dsm

It’s not far off it just needs to flow in a more organic style, drop it into mudbox and use the grab tool, it follows the normal direction really nicely. Or use the move tool in Zbrush, have a large brush low intensity and be careful of camera distance.

Also drop the point under the lips, chase them out.

Also download lots of models and study them.

Notice the flow on the cow
