Making retopology great (...again?) - Share your tips & tricks!
Hey peeps, Something I've been fighting with the past few days in my production pipeline is retopology - especially following the form of an organic model to create a mesh with clean spans for rigging and animation (so autotopo and decimation tools tend to create more work than help).

Re: sketchbook: kylix3d
What is your wall made of? Brick, large pieces of stone? It is kind of hard to decern from the zbrush model. Check out the Projection Master in Zbrush!

I'll be mostly adding the "turning/key points" in improving.… -
cool trick for baking exploded meshes in Modo
It's not a trick really and most of you propbably know about it but for those who don't it can be a real timesaver if you work with complex meshes which need to be exploded. So you have a mesh with like 100 parts which some of which are really close to each other. Something like this: You need to explode it of course. But… -
