Topology

So the are meny problems with Astos Topology that i am not happy with, but on an upside i i am happy with his face Topology .

Retopologizing

After finishing my high Polly model on mud box,i needed to make a lower one for use in animation. i researched good facial topology and found that the verts ring around the eyes and mouth so that they can deform early .

Colour Astos

I disided to try out the paint effects on mudbox and found them to be very effective.

problems

As I worked my why down I encountered the problem that verts where getting too stretched to work on, to fix this i used the retopoigize tool on mud box. This fixed the problem, but made some of its own like these weird crinkled edges
