==================================
In this quick video I go over a few built-in retopology tools that will make your life easier without having to resort to any addons.
There are very few good retopology addons for blender, and those that are somewhat acceptable usually cost $$, even though they hardly improve on the existing toolset.
This tutorial is aimed at beginner and intermediate level blenderheads. If you practice these techniques regularly, you can become pretty fast and efficient at manual retopology in blender. Good luck 🙂

At first I thought I only need to sculpt, but then comes re-topology things :'(
i'd say i gotten way better at retopo without spending days on something so simple as retopo. I sped my workflow much faster and now i just need to learn a good rule of thumb for how many faces to have on the sides so that whenever they meet they meet without a problem. Thanks for the upload

Thanks very much for the tutorial 🙂
Good explanation right there. If you had to choose a (semi-)automated solution or plug-in, which one would it be?
Click Bait…thought I was Retopoing some Ancient Aliens
lmfao love the contrast between a metal as fuck dragon skull and happy cheery bouncy background music
Retopology, aliens did it.
IM OUT BEEEEEACH
Love the Girgio meme picture, and that cheerful music while looking at a gnarly dragon skull felt a bit weird lol.
Don't forget for the f fill automatic functionality you need to enable the F2 addon. But good stuff, also was kinda curious if any use to using all the snapping options plus the shrinkwrap modifier. I'll have to try it out since I haven't done a whole lot of retopo yet. I really want to get that retopoflow 2.0 addon from cgcookie someday.
