About

In the 3D Character Retopology course offered by Lethbridge Polytechnic, you’ll take a character body mesh - perhaps, the one you created in the 3D Character Body Sculpting (Stylized) course - and apply retopology methods to it.

Overview

What you will study

The 3D Character Retopology course offered by Lethbridge Polytechnic will help you learn what retopology is. Then you’ll apply those practices to your mesh to allow your character to be rigged with ease. It’s a crucial part of the 3D pipeline, and one of the more technical components of creating a character.

Possible Deliverable - In this course, students will learn about proper body edge flow for rigging, and they’ll start the retopology process. They will use the Quad Draw tool in Maya, along with symmetry, to retopologize a stylized character body with ease. Many automated tools exist, but to achieve proper edge flow, it’s best students tackle this process manually, as it helps them learn what’s required of their role in the greater pipeline.
