CGCookie – Introduction to Retopology
English | Size: 793.5MB
Category: Tutorial
As modern workflows have incorporated more sculpting, the previous techniques of box-modeling and poly-modeling have seen less use. In place of these older workflows is a new synergy between artistically-driven sculpting and technically-minded poly-modeling, through a process known as Retopology.
Fundamentals of Topology
Before learning about retopology we first need to brush up on our topology knowledge.
