It wouldn't be helpful in this case, thanks though...

You're welcome.  Yeah...normal maps are mostly used in video games anyways.  Baking a displacement map would probably be better.

BTW Here's an example of a weight map free rig.

Patorak, thanks, but that is really of no help to me here.  Appreciate it anyway.

I think I have the topo I was looking for.

Looks good.  Might want to even out those polys.

Not sure when the last post to this was, but I'm hoping the original poster can get back on this.  I was wondering what app was being used for the the modeling I really liked the display mode that showed the major wire cage in one color, but then the propsed tesselation wire undernaeth. I really liked that to be able to see how dense your mesh would actually be at rendertime.  I've worked in almost every modeling app, but haven't seen that.

I believe that's Cinema 4D's modeler.

Hello everyone. I landed here looking for the same advice as pjz99, and I have believe an updated follow up could be nice. I will upload a series of steps on my attempt to re-topo a very high poly model that a friend modeled on ZBrush (1.2 GB) to later find that he did not created this model with my client's true body proportions... so, I will create a model detailed enough to be able to transform it into the right proportions and then rig it to be posable.

Yes, Teyon, that is Cinema4D, the software I will be working on.

Let me know if anyone is interested, so I will produce the images for this thread.
