Retopo advice needed
keyframe
Hello guys and girls,
Need some advice on some retopo/low poly making. I have created this stone wall, which is shown in the image below and I have tried to ways for a low poly.
1. A plane with some curve to it - fairly good results but very flat I looked at a tutorial by someone on here who uses 3ds max and made some displacements.
2. Each stone is individual and create a low poly, which will give a better silhouette to the piece.
OR
Do I make this a tileable texture? Making things a lot easier, I think?!
Answers below please. Oh and any advice on the stones themselves please

I'm pretty sure Maya has something similar with the "make live" or "retopo tools" that they added to 2014?
I am now thinking I might make a plane and have some meshes poking through in places to help a bit?
If you don't have Maya 2014 you can use a combination of Make Live and Tweak Mode to more quickly snap the verts of your low poly to your high poly.
