Thank You very much. I googled re-topology and here I am. Your tute was/is very helpful for the someone not experienced with this particular feature. So, thanks again. :)
some question! how did you get rid of the edges of high polygon in viewport? when I press F4 all edges of high polygon and lowpolygon disappear or appear together.

What are your import settings, please? And what are your layout settings? To me, it looks completely different. And what should we do if our model is imported upside down? Your tutorial only covers the best-case-scenario. :-/
Amazing video. I have a question. I did a retopo of a complex shape and my mesh is not very homogeneous (the edges are not at the same distance between them) Any idea how to do this? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the tutorial! Could you possibly go over the "Step Build" tool also? I have seen some good use of it but I cant figure out how to master it. Thanks again!
Good video, but I have a question: Why is it necessary to do retopo by hand? Usually when I'm making a model, I start with the low poly outline first and then build the high poly from that. This way, I already have the low poly mesh in mind that I want to use and I don't have to go through this process. It seems this is only necessary when you start with a high poly and don't have the low poly it came from, or the decimate/optimize software isn't working right.
Its not necessary to do the retopo by hand. There are also other ways to make low-poly model (one is the one you described). I just wanted to show, how a high-poly model can be retopo with tools in 3ds Max.
Import a solidWorks file, all of geometry is "Tris" . this method is very useful for create a new objet from imported files... If you dont have retopology modifier (thats mi case)

Been away for a while from 3dsmax while learning some Maya, should start exploring those new modeling tools n 3DSMax. Max in my opinion is quite superior than Maa for Polygonal modeling.
Please follow step by step especially from 1:03 to 1:35 cause your problem seems to be caused by not selecting the right commands and "basic shape". Check out the rest of my TH-cam channel and Gumroad page (link in video description) to find more video tutorials. Like & Share, tnx :)
I've been using 3ds max for a couple years now so this is gonna sound like a really silly question. How did you favorite those few modifiers and get them to display underneath the modifier list?
:) the only silly Q is the one that is not asked. How to set "modifiers sets" you can see in this video : th-cam.com/video/fiqVua7hFZ8/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
+Karl Eclaire You`re welcome. No, this is the video to teach you how to use 3ds Max to create low-poly version of high poly version model. It`s one of the ways how to do it. Baking is another process how to create bump/normal maps from such models.
Lizard-Motion Films This will be very useful, thanks! It was the first time for me to know about x normal. I'll start learning it now. Thankfully they also have some tutorials in their website. Thanks again!
I just have a question, as a game design student. Why do people still use these freeform tools in max when there are tools out there in other programs that can do it automatically (with some fixes after). Can't you save lots of time that way, if you had to meet strict deadlines? I'm genuinely curious and need to ask for a project I need to be working on.
Indeed there are software that can really speed up the workflow. Why people still use freeform? Don`t really know :D. Maybe its because they are "old school" (from back then, where there were just Max and Maya) or dont have the other software. Maybe its a personal preference since they dont want to bother figuring out new software. I guess everyone needs to find their way and means to get the job done properly and on time. So I suggest you perfect the workflow with software you are most comfortable with, but dont ignore other software since a lot of times companies (when hiring) have specific software they use and its really essential you know at least more then basics using them. All the best in 2k17. :)
I have worked on 3+ AAA titles and we usually have to retopo most of the parts by hand for game models as zremesher doesn't give u proper loops most of the time and increases the tri count of ur mesh unnecessarily even for the models which are not going to be animated. Usually using a zremeshed mesh gives u a lots of problem during uving,rigging etc that too with a high tri count and it cant be used for a hard surface model at all. zremesher was only helpfull to me when I had to retopo some hi poly trees, even then i had to do 70% of the work by hand.
Default ZRemesher is indeed sometimes clumsy, but if you use the ZRemesherGuides brush, you can get pretty decent results. Its not that its not possible to achieve usable retopo with ZRemesher, its just that it takes some figuring out how the automative retopo works. But at the end you are always relying on ZRemesher to understand your wishes. I normally use it to give me basic topology, then use ZModeler to make some adjustments, and if its really necessary do additional adjustments in Max.
i have tried lots of techniques to get a good mesh out of zremesh which are: (Numbering them based on their effectiveness) 1.Quick slicing the mesh into different polygroups and then using frame mesh based on polygroups and use the curves generated by it as zremeshere guides and finally zremeshing with the keep group option switched on. 2.Using crease curve brush instead on quick slice and then generate curves based on mesh creases and set curve strength to 100 3.using zremesher guide lines even after doing all that the mesh wont be good enough especially if u r making a game asset

my model is grey color, so how can i change just the color of these retopo polygons? that way is easier to see what im doing on the top of the mesh.

That's usually the case for hard surface I find.
If you sculpt a model in Zbrush for instants, you do a high res sculpt that then needs a retopo for low res mesh
Import a solidWorks file, all of geometry is "Tris" . this method is very useful for create a new objet from imported files... If you dont have retopology modifier (thats mi case)
Is there any way to homogeneize the mesh quad size after using polydraw? Thanks guys!

how to use conform tool in spline
please tell me
You can not use conform on splines. You need to convert it to editable poly and make adjustments with comfort tool. Then you can select edges and "create shape from selection" (under "Edit edges" section on the right of your screen)
but i m use spline and convert spline to editable poly then hide spline
you need to have your spline "closed" so when you convert to editable poly it can create polygons
i downloaded for 2022 and errored haha
