3D Retopology service

Beckstation, you are right the high poly meshes are fine for animation but only if you do not plan to have them move and they are being uses as backgrounds... Generally speaking the high poly meshes especially the ones with mixed triangles or odd faces cause all kinds of issues. Right now I have been working with 3D printing a lot and the high poly meshes are horrible. They mess up my prints or make the printing process so much slower. The biggest issue is some people don't build their models from scratch anymore making sure that the grid is done properly. It is sad because then whenever I buy model like that I end up having to ask for a refund and can't print it which wastes plastic and time.

Yes that is so true! Bad topology messes up 3D prints like you wouldn't believe! I thought bad geometry and super high poly meshes were only bad for games and animation projects. I was wrong! They are very bad for 3D printing too especially if you are running large models. Sometimes the printer does not know what to do with the odd bad topology info and scrambles your print. Other times it just makes the process so slow since it takes forever to resize scale or do any mods to the mesh and even crashes the software.

How much do you charge for the retopoloy of something like a car? 200.000 polys to re topo it to something small enough to work in a game like 10.000 polys?

I personally use TOPOGUN. It is a very easy to use and very affordable ($ 100) I used it for one of my last model (baby dragon) the result is very powerful

@beckstation Thank a lot :) I spent 3-4 hours of retopology work for this model (and the same time for uvw mapping :) )

Cool! Can you make a quick video tutorial of how it works? If it is good and I can figure out how it works based on your video I think I will buy it. I have been using 3D coat for now... but my trial version expired... I think maybe 3D coat is more expensive.

So many people buy 3D printers these days and think they got a lemon or that it is a faulty printer and part of the reason is they bought some badly made models and it messed up their printers. That is why I am doing my best to build my 3D printable models with good geometry and also trying to make sure that they do not require any support to print because that also saves on plastic cleaning and time. I am testing all my models before I try selling them and making sure I document issues etc... to make them a sure thing and work right out of the box.

A very genuine and great information provided!!!
Much needed.
Descriptive indeed and nicely explained.
