I don´t want to be rude but if you really want help, use proper language as shrew81 said, nobody wants to decypher this kind of things.A little abbreviation here and there is ok, but not everywhere.

As i said in another thread(it was yours):
- Make a Basemesh/Z-Sphere mesh or similar
- Sculpt it
- Retopology
- UV Mapping and Layout
- Baking out Normal Maps,Ambient Occlusion etc.(Using XNormal for example)
- Texture it
- Rigging(Don´t forget to reset your Transformations on your model before you apply your bones to the mesh, otherwise unexpected behaviour could occur!)
- Animating
- Adjustments here and there
- Export it to your desired Engine
- Voilá
Inbetween this steps:
Post it here, if you want crits,comments, help

thanks Specter for d help, I have already apologized for using abbreviations.. I'll take care of it in future , and again Thanks a ton sir, for helping me.

1 ques. If I do retopology in Zbrush ,The newly created mesh intersects a lot with the sculpted mesh.. is that okey ? or should I do it in a different way ?

Yeah, there is a major difference in slipping up on spelling or grammar sometimes, but you are purposely making your posts a headache to read. i got about one line in before i gave up and classified you as a tard

The intersecting polys should not make any problem(someone correct me if i´m wrong) as it is quite normal.
Just use a cage if there any problems in the bake if you are not using a cage
