Blender Made Retopology 10x Easier & Forgot to Mention it!

#blendertutorial #blender3d #blender

Blender made retopology 10x easier and forgot to tell anyone. Since 4.0 there's been a cool snapping upgrade that makes retopology so much easier. The difference between Face project and face nearest make retopologising any cylindrical object so much faster.

So basically what retopoflow does, but without as many of its bells and whistles. That's a huge upgrade, honestly.

OMG FINALLY!!! That's the best blender update since 2.8

And remember to use the Smooth tool of Slide Relax in the sculpt mode. This will help you to improve the flow of your retopology, without modifying the shape of the mesh. (Use Slide Relax with Shift pressed, and wireframe turned on)

Now I hope they get to maya 2024 level retopology. It's literally magic, I was blown away by the auto retopology. it is literally a 1 click solution to 90% of all topology problems.

This was definitely an issue I came across a lot when topologising. Thanks for highlighting this new feature Grant, incredibly useful!

Face nearest existed for more than a year

Don't forget about Retopology shading in Mesh Edit Mode Overlays, sometimes it's much more convient.

Always the biggest thanks to you Grant! You're the best

[HanSolocambo]

Face Nearest has been there for a very long time. Retopoflow has been using that option by default for a long time. There's absolutely nothing new here ;)

Now if only instead of creating sub-par images someone would repurpose AI to tackle retopology altogether, that would be a use of AI I'd support 500%. Retopology is so tedious and few things come close to it when it comes to killing the enjoyment of creating 3D stuff.

Thank you very much... there should be a Blender category for the Nobel prize. You could be a candidate this year for this tip.

[SolearGnG]

Nice find, I didn't know about this before. Thank you!

[igotbit]

Honestly this is the most grueling part. I’m glad they added this and thx for sharing it

[CaspiannDev]

Awesome tip as always, short, clear and perfectly explained. 😄

[lukajukic]

What the hell, I used to spend hours upon hours on this, this can be 80% faster. Thanks Grant!

[kieranm]

I have struggled to understand for ages what those two snapping features do! Finally! Grant, you're the man!

[alecdorfman]

00:30 is it a little bit or 10x easier? Make up your mind!

[OkamiZone]

This is a huge tip!
I hate re-topology because I always mess up not thinking in 3d all the time.

[yezzzsir]

That is a huuuuge improvement! Thanks for the heads up 👍

[Muhammad-Jacobs]

Had no idea this was possible! I was still manually snapping in 4.2 before this video. Thank you!
