Create morph from different sculpts

wardle2403

I didnt want to ask because it sounds rather simple but I cant seem to find/ figure out a solution. 

I've sculpted a character, one average and one fat. (same polygons)

I created a low poly from the average and now how do I create a morph into the fat ?

What i had in mind is the retopo could remember what face each point is on when switching sculpts, I saw something similar to this using uv maps which I cant find either .

You did it backwards. You should have created the fat from the average AFTER retop. Morph targets are vert-order dependent.

for possible solutions, please state your software as it saves us from guessing.

I used zbrush and maya. 
No worries though, they were created in a day and can easily be done again. They were for practice and learning things such as this.

Thanks for your response.

Just hit me, If I were to do variations after retopo, I would not have the option to bake for each one. 
Imagine the normals of a buff guy on a fat mesh.

Ahh I take all that back, I was being stupid.
I see what you are saying when i did it backwards, sculpt ontop of the newly made low poly version.

Yes. once you have sculpted the average on your new topo then you can use layers in ZB to make any number of blendshapes/morph targets versions.
