From High to Low Poly
Getting Subdivision Levels Back (#004)

by BadKing

In this 3-part tutorial, we look at how to get subdivision levels back using two main techniques. We utilise tools such as ReMesh All and ProjectAll and also look at Zspheres and topology in conjunction with Decimation Master. Finally we explore the ZProject Brush together with masking.
