Retopology in Blender (Tutorial)
My last Blender retopology tutorial is over 5 years old, so I thought it is time to update it. In this new addition, I show a full retopology workflow in Blender 3.0+, using only free tools and add-ons shipped with Blender by default.
Hope you find it useful.
Master 3D Sculpting Course - New Chapter added
This week, I added a full new chapter to my Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course.

Check the video above for more info. As always, the update is free for all existing customers.
