Retopology Techniques in CINEMA 4D

This tutorial will teach you how to use the Polygon Pen. We'll also show you how it works as a tool for creating an optimized mesh for your sculpted creature. When creating 3D projects, it is crucial to consider the topology or edge flow of our meshes. A good topology will allow you to use fewer polygons to achieve the level of detail that you desire. When creating final meshes which require animation, it is important to have good edge flow. CINEMA 4D's Polygon Pen is an excellent tool to quickly create and modify a mesh's topology. Combining snapping with the Polygon Pen, we can quickly create new polygons on top of high-resolution meshes. These meshes can be created from sculpts that you have done in CINEMA 4D, or by importing work from other programs like ZBrush. You will have a better understanding of topology and great skills to optimize meshes on sculpted creatures by the end of the CINEMA 4D training. CINEMA4D R16 is required.
