Hey Kent-ster! Bro, my retopo skills were very mediocre at best before this course. I must say, at this point (starting the booleans) it has incredibly improved to the point I'm flowing like clockwork even those awkward shapes (or "wonky" as you would say, haha!). I would go so far as to say publicly, "If you want a course that will sharpen your retopo skills like none other, this one is up there at the very top my man. Thanks a billion for making this dude.
Holy smokes, this is the best feedback I can remember receiving from one of my courses. Thanks pointoflife14! "...flowing like clockwork", that's a good feeling, right? I quite enjoy retopo when I can put on headphones, get into the zone, then let the retopo 'machine' takes over.
I'm thrilled to hear about your progression. Can't wait to see your final bot model!
It is a GREAT feeling. But then I hit a major brick wall once I started the booleans. For some reason, nothing is working. I opened a separate question for this one though so you should see it soon. I've done everything, even checked for non-manifold geo, but all is well with my mesh topology. I've checked the normals, flipped them and tried it with every config possible, I'm stuck until I find the right solution and so far everything has failed. I've watched every tut available on boolean problems and how to fix them, and so far zippo. The best I get results with a terrible pinching around the perimeter as in the attached pic. Please help when you can my man, thanks again.
