Re: Retopology in Maya
I was trying Maya today and I was looking for some retopology workflows or scripts and to my surprise I didn't find much. I think that Maya Live is pretty good. What's missing is a quick way to build geometry, like the Extend tool from Max (here's a video of how it works ). How hard would it be to script a tool like that? -

For retopology I've gone from using ZBrush's built in tools, to Silo, to most recently 3D-Coat's retopology tools.… -

I heard from a guy at work that the sculpting retopology script he was using is part of the Sony shared resources and that it originated from Guerrilla so its unlikely that particular… -
Retopology in Maya
Hey guys, I like to think of myself as a native Max user, as I have have used that application for a number of years and feel very comfortable working in it. However a few years ago I had to make the switch to Maya and although I have learned to appreciate some of the functionality that's made available I have never been…
