What you'll learn

  • Learn to use Topogun to retopo high resolution game assets

Course content

2 sections • 21 lectures • 3h 20m total length

  • Introduction1:25

    Learn to use Topogun to create vertices, edges, and polygons for a game-ready, low-res, mirrored head, welding centerline and projecting details into a subdivided mesh with edge loops.

  • Overview of Topogun14:09

    Apply Topogun to convert high-poly game models into low-poly, game-ready retopologies by using draw, bridge, and edit tools, enforcing clean edge loops and symmetry.

  • Eye Retopo10:43

    Retopologize the eye by building a half hemisphere, using the tube tool for clean quad geometry, and applying symmetry for the other eye; manage strokes and bridges for clean topology.

  • Head Retopo Part 114:24

    Implement head retopology for a game model by building around the mouth and nostrils, the eyes, using bridging, edge loops, and symmetry to achieve a low-poly, stable topology.

  • Head Retopo Part 214:29

    Develop and refine head topology in Topogun by creating bridges, aligning the center line, sealing gaps, and adding edge loops for game-ready retopology.

  • Head Retopo Part 316:03

    master head retopology techniques in topogun by welding vertices, optimizing edge flow with bridges, and creating a low-poly, game-ready head while using symmetry and selective triangles.

  • Roadkill Unwrap3:02

    Master roadkill unwrap techniques in Topogun by cutting edges, separating features like the mouth, and saving projects for projection and UV map generation to support a game-ready model.

  • Brush Detail Projection4:23

    Explore brush detail projection in Topogun to retopologize high-poly models into game-ready, low-poly versions by projecting detail, managing subdivisions, and refining edge loops for efficient production.

Requirements

  • Topogun

Description

In this tutorial, instructor Stephen Wells will take us through the complete pipeline of the software Topogun, as we learn the interface and functions needed to retopo game assets. We'll cover all the most important tools needed as we take you through the process of retopologizing several complex characters and organic creatures.

If you've been looking for a solution to speeding up the low poly workflow process of your high-poly game objects, this course is for you!

More about the Instructor:

Stephen Wells is an expert 3D modeler for characters, props, vehicles, weapons and environments and have created both high and low polygon assets for game productions. He has over 20 years experience in creating a variety of game assets for several different genres (fantasy, sci-fi, combat, superheroes, horror, etc) using 3ds Max, Maya, Photoshop, Zbrush, Mudbox, Topogun, and XNormal. As an enthusiastic instructor, he loves creating video tutorials on a wide variety of subjects including Zbrush, 3DS Max, Topogun, Roadkill, and many more to help students better their skillsets.

Who this course is for:

  • 3d and Game Artists interested in speeding up the retopo process of high poly assets
