Retopology- drawn lines do not create faces properly



Hi everyone,

I’ve uploaded 2 images of my problem. I’m using an addon called Speedretopo, and have followed a tutorial about how to use it. However, when I draw lines to create faces on top of my detailed sculpt, it messes up and goes all over the place. Weird thing is, it actually was working fine for the first 5 minutes but then the problems started happening. The addon involves Bsurfaces and I’ve heard you can get alot of bugs from it depending on the version of Blender you have (for me it’s the latest). Any advice?

Thanks!

Speedretopo uses bsurface and right now, your issue is with bsurface.
You can check the normals of your mesh, they must be in the good side.
Don’t use the local view, bsurface don’t like it.

Make sure you draw all the lines the same direction, like from left to right. With more than two lines, the order of lines matter, too.
