How to use the retopo tool?

Hi,

I am looking for some help on how to use the retopo tool from the GSOC project. I have been trying to get it to work but with little success, I don’t get the vertices to align to the surface. Is there somewhere a tutorial on how to use this great tool? The posts that I found by searching didn’t help me figure this out so far.

Thanks!

Hi again,

Just to make it a bit clearer what I mean, this post shows what I’d like to do.
When I am doing the same it just creates a flat surface as shown in this picture:

What am I missing? Thanks again!

I never used the Retopo tool (nor any other new feature in cvs) but I think the Using Retopo page (and maybe Sculptmode, Multires, and Retopo as well) by the coder of the feature (Nicholasbishop?) might help you

Other than that I’ve got no idea, sorry.

PS: These pages are located on a user-page in the wiki, so searching for it unprepared will turn up nothing.

Hi Werner,

Thanks a lot for your reply, that is exactly what I was looking for! I got it to work just fine now with the instructions provided there. Yeah, I searched on there but couldn’t find those pages, they are definitley very helpful.

Thanks again!
