Retopo a very thin plane from both sides?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi guys!

I want to retopo a model for ingame use but run into a serious problem:

The wings on that thing are so thin that in some places any action I do to the top side also happens on the bottom side. This also happened when polypainting so that everything I painted on top also showed on the bottom side. That was no issue but now that I retopo I notice that its impossible to finish the wings.

Is there any solution for me to fix that with the topo-brush?

I tried to search for a while but really dont know how to word it so that search function understands me. Not a native english speaker.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

You can try for any Brush: menu Brush --> Automasking --> Backfacemasking

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunatelly I was wrong, I dont use the Topo Brush but the ZSphere aproach. I cant seem to change that backface masking setting when in ZSphere Topology mode. So any idea how I could retopo that thin wing with ZSphere?
I will try to start again using the brush and see if that works on the wing without issues.

You can try slect the first side and hide it --> Ude ZPheres to retopo --> Hide the other side and retopo

If hide not work you can retopo ech side seperate and bring both sides together as subtool merge
