Retopology Series: Part 1
What is Retopology? Simply put, retopology is essentially the process of taking a 3D model with a high poly count and reducing the number of polygons to the smallest number possible to still retain the original shape. If that sounds confusing, don’t worry, retopology is basically the process of simplifying. I’ve included an article that…
