I spent 2 hours doing the ear, it is incredibly complex when you have never done it before but one thing I already understood before watching any video was to always make sure you have the same amount of faces to bridge them together. It just felt right to do it and it is indeed right.
Wow, you are amazing! Your 2.5 minute tutorial was more helpful than several hours of professional courses and big RUclips channels. You explained everything so clearly and concisely that I learned more from you than from anyone else. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. You are a legend!
Aligns with what I already know about retopology in theory. In practice, I'm impressed by how simple you made it look. A full body retopo tutorial will be greatly appreciated. P. S. I subbed you. 😁
Okay, so I want to add one more thing, as far as I know, blender already comes with a retopology add-on built in. By enabling that, you get the x-ray effect, the magnet tool is turned on and a shrink wrap modifier is applied all at the same time. This add-on is much better than doing everything manually. Try it once!
Super helpful tutorial. Other tutorials are longer and good in their own ways, however, many seem to fail illustrating the importance of form and vertx alignment.
He made it look so easy. In fact, it's clearly not... Nothing here is automatic, everything is manual time-killing hard work (Which sometimes most of us will not have time). And also no need for that add-on at all. Turning on snapping and shrink wrap will work fine.
this looks amazing... but without the $6 for 'snapping', I don't think the add-on is worth it. The live trace tool is a gift from heaven itself. Completely worth supporting the creator just for that alone.
Thank you so much for the best tutorial I have ever seen. I do have a small issue though, does anyone know why I might not be making loops? Topology-wise my model looks correct, but when pressing CONTROL+R to add a loop cut, half the loop is perfect, but then it goes off in a different direction, not making a perfect loop cut. How do I correct this? Is it to do with what vertices are joined?
Thank you for the tutorial! Would be cool to see how you would handle retopologizing more exaggerated proportions - round small eyes close together at the top, looong nose & wide mouth at the bottom. I've found that most tutorials on characters address either realistic human or stylised cartoon character, which although having somewhat exaggerated features, the distance between is grounded in realism If there are any tutorials already out there please share :)
Now I just have a question. After proyecting it and all that stuff do you apply it to the high res figure? If so, could you pose it, once a skeleton is applied, completely casually? Or would you need to apply it after so you could pose it. I've just tried this last thing I mentioned and it's an incredible slow process pose it that way.
No the best method would be to retopo once you've already sculpted all details e.t.c, Then UV Map your new retopo character, bake the details from the high res to the retopo one. Then from there you can use the Retopo in making the rig and animations. You can watch some of Fly Cat's videos, he/she goes through these processes
I am sory my speaking english not good, i question how if modeling 3d carakter with referensi 2d karakter? Using rotopo ? Please tutorial 🙏 , i am newbie in blender
Newb here, so when you are done with the retypology and you’ve added the shrinkwrap. If you wanted to add a face rig all you would have to do is target the shrinkwrap from the face rig in order to move the face easily with the face rig?
Say... I'm gonna search this anyways and I may even have gotten it answered by the time you reply but... how do you "snap" the rotation of the edges/how to do you change the angle of the edges in a more... natural looking way? I know the R-bind exists and have used it, but it fucks up the size of the edges, and I'd like to kinda... constrain the edges? Anyways, I know you probably didn't use anything like that in this video, but damn... its like you're a god or something with making all the faces "trapazoid" shapes automatically for any and all face/edge loops...
I'm having trouble merging the vertices. I turned on auto merge but no matter how close i move the vertices to each other they don't merge. (using 3.3)
You need to edit the merge distance, increase it to merge vertices even farther. The distance setting is right below the Auto Merge Checkmark, or in options settings in the Tool section of the N tab
@@PixelicaCG Watched both tutorials yesterday and recognized that it's not same. Sorry for this unjustified accusation. Did retopo by your tutorial and it helped me a lot. Fast and effective. Thank you
Love your tutorials, man. But I don't know how or why this keeps happening, I follow tutorials to a tee, but still something always goes wrong. I turned on Auto-Merge, increased the threshold, but the vertices still just don't want to merge with each other. It's impossible to find a tutorial that doesn't end with hours googling to find out I sometime three months ago accidentally hit a hot-key that turned something off
@@mjstew4453 Sometimes, restarting Blender can fix some issues. But in this case, I think the problem was that Pixelica's character was a lot smaller than mine, so I had to play with the merge threshold to eventually make it work. Following the numbers from the video won't work, with all factors considered
@@targetisstrong9180 That pole near the mouth is gonna cause a lot of unwanted deformation if you want to animate it later on, you need to change its placement near the mouth where movement isn't much

Exactly!
This simplifies the pattern so incredibly well for someone like me who's a beginner. Amazing stuff and greatly appreciated.
holy hell, thats how all those avatar modelers do it. Finally I know what sorcery they've been using this whole time. tysm

Super helpful tutorial. Other tutorials are longer and good in their own ways, however, many seem to fail illustrating the importance of form and vertx alignment.
Your tutorial served me more than any of those overly complicated videos I tried before this.
This is the best tutorial for this I've ever seen, thank you so much.
Thanks :) glad it was helpful
I love the way you explain without being fast or slow, it's just perfect! Thanks, I'm sure I'll use this in future projects

You went real fast on the tutorial, however; it was extremely helpful. Much appreciated!
Subscribed mannn I love your videos
thanks, glad it was helpful :)
Yes we are interested in the fully body Also if you can do one on a muscle guy due to the muscles structure and how the poly falls across the body
This 3min tutorial took me 2 hours to do. Really great tutorial

Idk, thumbnail looks amazing, concept epic, and video cool,
Why, don't you have 100k subs?
Glad you like it :)
Well gotta grind to the top bro :D
Great way to model a face love it...
thank you SO MUCH
Nice work dude!
Yes please make full body ❤❤❤

Great Bro
thanks x)
Gracias, me ayudó bastante.
I am getting triangles around the nose :( i "simply" geting triangles.... :)
Great tutorial. Just need to watch lot of moment in slow motion :)
Thanks, its done now
you're welcome :)
an option if you dont want to buy the add on is to simply enable "in Front" in the viewport visibility tab in edit mode
Thank you, I was just looking at a free alternative of doing the same
this was an amazing tutorial, very helpful but.... im not quite sure what to do now.... how do i apply it?
you are my savior :,) i hate retopology so much...

I wish I had a bestfriend like you to hangout and discuss these things with
i cant get the face to mirror correctly as shown at 1:17, the middle point doesnt stay when i move the plane. help
Thnx man it work´s
I am sory my speaking english not good, i question how if modeling 3d carakter with referensi 2d karakter? Using rotopo ? Please tutorial 🙏 , i am newbie in blender
idk if i'm just stupid but the link in the discription doesn't lead me to the spesific add on.
es. just find the Draw Xray add-on
so do you use the addon or not if not what settings do i enable in overlay
Newb here, so when you are done with the retypology and you’ve added the shrinkwrap. If you wanted to add a face rig all you would have to do is target the shrinkwrap from the face rig in order to move the face easily with the face rig?

69 comments hah nice. Sorry, I have to make it 70.
Love the vid, man! Keep it up!
i hate u lol
just jokin :D thanks, glad u liked it.
how to set up this "Face" setting (0:40) in blender 3.3 please ? No colors when I check "Face project" and active draw xray
You need to download the new version of draw xray, the old version doesn't work on new versions of blender anymore.
Hi sorry when I add Mirror modifier I can't see the other side in edit mode and idk why🥲
I'm having trouble merging the vertices. I turned on auto merge but no matter how close i move the vertices to each other they don't merge. (using 3.3)
You need to edit the merge distance, increase it to merge vertices even farther. The distance setting is right below the Auto Merge Checkmark, or in options settings in the Tool section of the N tab
Maybe you turned off magnet button by chance
I can see the mesh through the backside of the model. It's hard to see what I'm doing and what to select. Do you know how to fix this?

can u please make it so that we can add the video to our own playlist : (
i love myself
so basically this is short version of Dikko's tutorial
Haven't watched his retoplogy video but overall all of them following the similiar pattern that i just wanted to make it short without any bs.

When you were doing the nose you skipped part of it and it confused me a lot? I love the video but that part wasn't very clear
I also had to slow down the video to understand when you were doing the top and back of the head. Also complicated things for me
So wheres the Draw X-ray link ??
For animation this needs a bit more polish with those poles placement.
I wanna learn retopo for animation purposes, could you explain more what you mean?
@@targetisstrong9180 That pole near the mouth is gonna cause a lot of unwanted deformation if you want to animate it later on, you need to change its placement near the mouth where movement isn't much
2:45 added another edgeloop on the nose bridge
The X ray thing doesn't work =(
sorry i cant add draw xray can you help me?
yes, you need to go to edit>prefrence>addon then top right corner press install and select the package that you downloaded
I'm mad that I locked my hyperfixating onto blender bc the thing u hear most is how you need addons to make it functional
This addon has a bug and crash Blender 3.1.2 when you use a "Grid Fill". I don't know to report this bug to the author of this addon (Draw Xray)
i subed u
Thank you for that ear.
Im create retopo in blender add on
bs surface
Try this one
DO NOT USE THE XRAY ADDON, I found while using the Addon using gridfill causes Blender to hard crash
👍
Very nice video... I just wish i didnt model insects instead of humans...
in 2:44 you skip that bro, i feel confusused
Ok, now relax vertexs...
