What is TopoGun software?
TopoGun is a stand-alone resurfacing, and maps baking application. The maps baking functions, will help you bake various types of texture maps from your high resolution 3D models and then allow you to apply them to your newly created optimized meshes.
How do I add an edge loop to Topogun?
If you want to cut an edge ring by inserting an edge loop through it, hold the down SHIFT key, middle click, and then drag starting from the L region of any of the selected edges. Once the new loop is in the position you desire, release the middle mouse button and the loop will be created.
Is Retopology necessary in blender?
Retopology is sometimes required to smoothen out a model. It is not necessary, but it does make the project look more refined and improves the character’s performance. Retopology comes in handy if you wish to disfigure the mesh, simulate it, or do the real-time rendering of a specific theme.
Whats better ZBrush or Maya?
Zbrush is focused purely on 3d modeling. Maya is more of a complete package, from modeling, rigging, puttting in textures, all the way up to final rendering. ZBrush complements Maya in production and is almost always in every game or animation studio’s pipeline.
How do you Retopo in ZBrush?
The quickest and most simple way to retopologise a model is to use ZRemesher. It is as simple as telling ZBrush how many polygons you want and clicking the button. Find it in Tool > Geometry > ZRemesher. The input number is in 1,000s, so if you put five you will get roughly 5,000 polygons.
What does Retopology mean?
In its most basic form, retopology is the process of simplifying a complex 3D model into a low resolution, simplified mesh of polygons. The simplest way of doing this is by manually drawing each individual polygon to create the underlying mesh of the 3D object.
Is TopoGun 2 free?
TopoGun 2 and TopoGun License Server are also available for Linux and have been tested on CentOS 5.6, Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 11. The upgrade from TopoGun 1. xx to TopoGun 2.00 is FREE OF CHARGE for existing customers.
