Zbrush 4r5, adaptive skin issue

Waterbear

This is only my 2nd time trying to retopo a model and I'm running into something I don't know how to fix.

Pic1 is the polys I've laid out and pic 2 is after I hit A.

I'm using radial symmetry set to 6. As far as I can tell, all the points have snapped to each other.

Any help would be awesome!

Haha! I did it! My first shot at retopology was slow and annoying, but I totally got a mesh out of it!

UV and baking tomorrow

*Oh the fix for the thing above was to just not use radial symmetry.

Hey Sarah, glad you figured it out. What version of Maya are you using? The maya retop toolset probably isn't as refined as something like 3D Coat or Topogun, but I'd still recommend checking it out as its leagues better than ZBrush's retop system, imo. The only downside being you will have to decimate/break up your sculpt to prevent Maya from exploding when trying to import it

@ Torch: My Maya is mad old (2009). It's the next thing I plan to update. I'll check it out though!

@Slosh: Thanks for the tips. I'll look into that cage thing tomorrow when I bake everything.

I did the UVS tonight!

...and just like that I updated the wrong post.

That's cool - just wanted to recommend 3D coat especially for this kinda thing! The retopology, UV and painting tools are awesome
