so i was playing with groups loops and panel loops when i noticed this strange occurance : how does a nice set of polygroups like this : turn into this ? trying to use dynamesh with its groups functionality to maintain the polygroups
so basically once you are in panel loop mode theres no way to effectively use dynamesh and a panel And keep its polygroups ? you are essentailly forced into subdiv level mode ? could be worse , but just trying to confirm there really isnt a way.
Polygroups should always be done last. They're based on your verts, so they're not going to survive if you do a complete retopology like Dynamesh (they don't even survive if you create them on a higher subdivision level and step down). If you mean to create panels and preserve cleaner loops, it might be better to work with…
