Hi all I’m new to this forum…
I’m really hoping someone can help me… I need to retopo my mesh but when I import my new base mesh into zbrush and then project the high detail model onto it… it just explodes!?
Here are some screengrabs… Thanks in advance if anyone can help 
you make the wings a subtool and retopologize the body and wings at seperate times… for me if geometry gets too complex it jus explodes… the solution has been to just make the model into 2-3 diff pieces of geo. characters can have douzens of subtools. get the subtool master plugin its essential… heres how i do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtr4w5PtU7k&feature=channel_page
