I havent posted since months and you say "its been a long time since I've had anything to show". Sometimes I hate you. :D But dont forget – I also hate when you don`t post often, hehe. :cool:

Lol Moni. You basically hate Fred then. haha <img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>

Fred, you got some ortho views on this guy? Would be cool to check his proportions.

Hey Martin, yeah I’m a hated man :frowning:
hehe, but yeah I’ll get some more shots up one of these days :wink:

Thanks for all the comments guys!

While I’m at it, what caused the thumbnail to repost it self?

Great job on the last head. Very expressive designs. Keep going.

Love the last head. :smiley:

I actually did the entire retopo in blender, and the only reason these shots are from maya is because, blender is really really really really extreamly bad at showing wireframes.

CC very welcome :wink:

Looking good! :+1:
Would you recommend blender as a retopo app?
Since Zbrushs solution is so bad I’ve ben thinking about buying Topogun, but since Blender is free it might be worth looking in to…

Thanks mate!
Yeah I most definitely would, personally I prefer it to both topogun and nex, although topogun 2 is looking really tempting (haven’t tried 3D coat yet).

The advantage with blenders topo tools is that it simple just sticks to the surface, but other than that, nothing is different from your normal modeling tools, unless you paint the topo of cause.
The other great thing about it is that it is extreamly simple to set up.
I think the only problem people will have is actually learning blender, lets face it, it kinda have some strange controls.
And the topo feature is only in 2.49 I’m gonna have to contact them and get them to implement it in 2.56 (which is currently beta).
If you decide to test it out, feel free to drop a question, and I’ll try to help you get started :wink:

Okay, then I’ll try it out! :slight_smile:
So what you do is that you export the ZTL as an obj at it’s lowest level, with some painted guidelines. And after you have changed the topology you just import it into Zbrush again and project all the details? (I guess Blender isn’t GoZ enabled?)

Hey Storm.

I think Blender actually has a re-topo in 2.56 but it’s not at all obvious how to do it. Something to do with the snap feature.

There seems to be about a 50/50 split as to whether or not this was better than previous versions. Some people love it, others hate it.

Hope that helps.

@Santis
No I just deciminate the mesh to around 100 k, and then take it into blender and just model the new topo, it will stick to the surface if you turn on retopo. Works great!

@martym
Thanks for the link,I need to check this out, but i’m pretty sure its just a shrink-wrap function with some pseudo retopo snapping going, which is not what I’m looking for. But I’ll check it out to be sure :wink:
