My teacher was talking about Topogun and how easy it is to retopo any mesh. However I was wondering with Zbrush 4R4's new topo tools is the program worth it? Does it do anything better than Zbrush? I am starting to explore retopology in my next project and just wanted some input.
I'm a huge fan of Topogun and definitely support it's existence. Mind you, I didn't mind the ZBrush topology tools either, and found them to be pretty good. I've also been impressed with 3DSMax's toolset too, and a lot of the people I've worked with have used all 3, and each of them has a different opinion. You'll find…

You have to find out what works for you and for me right now it's topogun, mind you it…
Both have their own benefits and drawbacks. I will list what they are for me but you're the one who has to give both a try and decide for yourself which is better. Here's what I observed: ZBrush pros: -Integrated topology tools - no need to use an external app and import/export the mesh -High-res mesh does indeed look…
ohh boy... so many apps in which you can retopo these days... from max with its surface snapping ribbon tools and to its free scripts for it and payed scripts like Wrapit(looks really good check it out) to topogun or 3dcoat or even to blender with those looptools and bsurface(free addon for blender) to other software that…
