035 ZBrush 2021 ZModeler Edge Extrude Retopology Techniques 

no matter how long I left the channel, every time I come back, always learn something new!! thank you God MP

This is fantastic! I hate moving my models across different 3d programs so this actually changes that! Thanks for the tutorial!!

This Infoispure gold man ...thanks Mr Pavlovich you rock as usual !!!!!!

These videos are awesome man. My gosh man thank you for sharing all of these videos.

This has been so useful! Thank you very much for this tutorial

You are a good man Mr. Pavlovic

The new retopology functionality feels like fighting with the tool.

Been waiting for this!

sir. you are my teacher. really really thank you. from korea.

holysmokes, awesome tecgniques! thanks for sharing

I love zbrush and use it in production every day, but this must be the most exotic retopology workflow ever. Fantastic video though

This is excellent.

Super! Zbrush devs are keep adding in new features all the time and leaving all the old tools in too, which is cool, but we're overwhelmed by so many options-tools for the same job.

gracias, muy bueno

you saved my life

Thx, teacher

How about 1. Initialise a 2x2 plane in front of (and parallel to) forehead 2. Matchmaker brush it onto surface 3. Edge extrude away

Zbrush just likes to make things complex for no apparant reason. Really one of these days there will be a valid competitor that takes away all the unneeded fluff, have a decent UI and I will switch in a heartbeat.

Hi Michael, Love the videos. I'm having difficulty when changing the changing to 'Snap to surface', its fine in 'free move' but its not working at all when i have STS clicked.

Is there a way to smooth or relax the topology for even distribution across the surface?

Hey michael how do you retopo the inside of a mouthbag?

On tapping the tool I am not getting any Geometry is my Brush size is less than 4, is this a bug? I want my geometry on brush size of 1 but it just keeps adding points on mesh instead of showing me geometry

Hi! Do you use zbrush when you retopology game characters that will be animated? Whether you do that or not, which method/technique do you find the best currently to achieve this inside zbrush? Or do you think it is waste of time to learn retopology for game characters inside zbrush?

cannot move a point using the shown settings ? edit: fix is dont leave your brush size at 1 after making the repotpo skin :)

hi, when extrude edge in symetry mode is on, i can,t snap vertex, why?

The smooth brush doesn't work at all with the cloth projection, that should be fixed, every time it was tried in this demo, it did nothing. It works better if you turn off Dynamics, then smooth and then use the normal projection button. The edge extrude should be able to bridge between edge loops. The topology brush should work on a separate subtool, just like Zmodeler so you don't have to be jumping back and forth so much. It should also be able to fill a tube by drawing a few edge loops around an arm, then a line connecting them all. IMM for inserting patches is cool, but again it should work on separate subtools like cloth. ZRemesher should be able to work to fill gaps in an existing mesh, so you only make the main loops, then let it fill in the rest. The improvements make retopology in Zbrush better but there are a lot of little things that could make it even more so. I still feel like 3Dcoat has the best of all retopology tools. Even with these cloth and projection options in Zbrush, 3Dcoat is still faster and easier to work with for my regular tasks. I use them all though, using the best tools from whichever app has it, but that is also how I can feel the difference.

When I use Zmodeler Point-Move the point seems to move based on where on the point I drag from, for example sometimes I will move my entire cursor across the screen just to move the point halfway, and other times the point will stick to my cursor as I would like it to. Is there a way to turn this off? I cant tell if its an intended feature or a bug.

i know im tired but did u say zfondler brush

the main problems with this is that you its hard not to select the edge by mistake if you are trying to use points move

How abouth to use Zremesher, projekt and simple to fix trouble locations in topology? Why to do full retopo?

Is there a third party plugin that enables real retopo in ZBrush? This is ridiculous.

my love for zbrush just grows every day but sadly my company is switching over to blender

why this method instead of using zremesher?

Every second edge extrude runs under the subtool, so I have to switch to ghost mode to be able to move the points, but in ghost mode snap to surface doesn't work, so I have to switch back and forth from ghost to transparent mode after every second edge extrude. Very buggy and unintuitive feature :(

Topology brush is so fiddly it's effectively useless. I suppose it's gonna be the good old zsphere/rig/edit topology.

conclusion - unfortunately absolutely not suitable for retopology!

3ds max topology tool more easy and powerfull. I will continue to zbrush for only sculpting.

Maya retopo tools still ahead of Zbrush = shame :(

b/z/m/nightmare mode

Well this is very nice. But I like to use Zremesher + any 3d modeling tool like 3dsMax or Maya or Blender. Manual retopology is rare for me

Why do you have to retopo? I thought there was zremesher that does the auto retopology.

Why so few dislikes? XD

i hear like someone licks my ears

So it looks like I dont need to use for repotology maya anymore.

This looks extremely forced for a retopology technique. Don't know why Micheal Pavlovich made this tut, he obviously won't use this technique. Was really hopeful at first.

retyppo in Zbrush is so ffing bad its unreal.

I really wanted to check the full video, but 5 minutes in i could not stand the voice cracks.
