What is Retopology Maya?
Retopology lets you create new topology based on the features of a reference surface. Maya’s retopology toolset offers a streamlined, one tool workflow that lets modelers focus on the creative process instead of edge flow and polygon count.
What can you do with the retopology tool?
Reshape an existing subdivision body based on a reference object. Add topology to an existing subdivision body when set to a reference object. You can also use the Retopology tool to refine subdivision bodies by relaxing vertices, adding edges and edge loops, or cutting new edges.
How to retopologize a subdivision in Photoshop?
Choose Subdivision > Retopology from the Subdivision Tool palette. In the viewport, pick the reference object, and then click Next. Pick the subdivision body you want to reshape, and then click Go. With the subdivision model now projected onto the reference object, the CVs snap to the reference surface.
Why do you need to retopologize a 3D model?
Other practical reasons to retopologize can included character clothing. Retopology makes it easier to create clothes that cling to the surface of the 3D model and look incredibly natural. The artistically-driven nature of modern 3D sculpting allows for a fast workflow and stunning results.
What do you need to do retopology in Blender?
Blender also has some built-in tools as well as available addons that can make the retopology process even easier. Blender artists will specifically want to check out the Polystrips and Contours tools. Sometimes these tools are enough, but often 3D artists will need to manipulate models by hand.
