There is a new option on blender 3.6.0 that is similar to the xray addon
on the overlay settings while on "Edit mode" it's under "Shading", it says "Retopology", it puts in front the mesh that's being edited when it is at the distance specified in the option, so it acts as an xray overlay but without showing the back parts, it's amazing!

EDIT: The option has been moved on newer versions. Now, when in "Edit mode" a new Icon should appear next to the "Overlay settings" (now named "Viewport Overlays") named "Mesh Edit Mode Overlays", it is under shading still

this gotta be the best retopo tutorial on youtube

[TusieQ]

Very good tutorial about retopo, probably best on YouTube.

[stevefuncke]

Thanks! Love this kind of tutorial. I hope you do a few videos covering the whole body. And it’d be cool if you wrap up and explain the next parts of your workflow after retopo- just to make the series complete. Cheers!

Thank you, it worked perfectly, it is very easy to do.

[AdrianChenSixx]

thanks, this helps a lot. Great tutorial

Don't know if it worked on older versions but you actually don't need to reposition vertices one by one after loop cut, when you apply the loop cut just don't click "esc" instead click the left mouse button, this will snap each vertices which are created by the loop cut to the surface...
ofc you always need to position vertices if they look off

I have a small question: is there a reason why you didn't use the "in front" check-box from the object properties, and instead downloaded a whole new add-on to make the retopologised model appear in front of the high-poly model? I am new to retopo, and my boss at work makes me use the "in-front" option, so it made me wonder about the difference.

Great tutorial as always can you teach us how to uv map advance models all people show as uv tutorial is cube

[alexgaffney]

Awesome tutorial, could you please make a follow up video showing how to add a mouth sack and eyeball sockets? I find the topology hard to figure out for those areas.

[Zephyrionx]

Please, do the same video with clothes, that would be very useful

[sectr]

i can't find the draw x ray add on

[GaryParris]

excellent, great to see someone using blender as the tools are there

[knampf]

Worked like a charm, but I had to fill some gaps. For example, you didn't do the neck area in the vid, there had to be another "5-star" where the neck leaves the head or when you connected chin with lips, there was another loop cut at the chin that wasn't explained in the vid (redid it once to that point and had the issue twice). Rather minor issues

[vitaliizubarev]

This dracula guy got some decent tutorials

[spittingame]

Can you make a video about how you can swap/change female character's shoes from HIGH HEELS, SNEAKERS, BOOTS, FLAT FOOTED like in open world games like GTA, Saints Row etc.
That is much needed and you will be a hero to the community.
