I find it’s best to pick one strategy for doing this, and not to activate multiple edge detection options at once (for instance, keep groups, detect edges, or keep creases, but not all at once). These areas may need to be manually retopolgized with ZModeler and/or the topology brush, or reconstructed entirely on the retopo’d mesh. Unfortunately your mesh is fairly complex and has subtle elevations and fine details that aren’t likely to survive the ZRemesher process no matter what settings you use. However, ZRemesher can produce good results if your mesh shape isn’t overly complex.

If no smoothed or curved surfaces are required( the mesh is all flat planes), then smoothing can be disabled during subdivision by disabling the SMT button next to the Divide button in the Geometry Palette. Hard surface models are further complicated by the fact that low poly models require creasing in order to keep edges hard when being smoothed during subdivision. It’s a process, a developed skill, and some cases may require manual retopology. There is no auto-retopology magic button in any software Im aware of to create optimal low poly hard surface topology of the quality a human would produce if modeling from low poly. actually I was hoping ti get a quad topologyĪny advices or at least other software to recommend.However, its not currently in my budget to pick up Zbrush, and I don’t really want to buy a program that’s that much just for one tool in it (unless they add VR sculpting in Zbrush, I’m not really that interested in using its base features). I’ve seen what Zremesher can do, with how it allows you to mark the contours you want preserved and that looks amazing and way less time-consuming then drawing out the topology in blender. It definitely seems to work for producing quality highpoly pieces, but the process of retopologizing them in any manner other then taking the time to do it almost manually using retopoflow in blender is a bottleneck on this workflow for me. I am mostly a hard-surface artist without much experience in character art, and I purchased the Oculus a few months ago to begin to change that and use Medium as my main sculpting program. I’m using this decimated, auto-UVed lowpoly as an environment prop clutter item, but I want to create a proper lowpoly for use on a character.

I created this recently in Oculus Medium as a way to explore its viability for use in creating game assets/assets for real-time.
