WTF LOL

Maybe I could make a copy of the base model and then apply the shrinkwrap on the original mesh with the copy as the target. And then use the grab tool to reposition the mesh around while keeping the form.

Learn how to sculpt a face before you study topology.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to sculpt with topology right from the beginning and not have to retopologize afterwards since it seems like a very slow tedious process. And also because I want to be able to rig the model to be able to pose it while sculpting so I'd rather not have to modify the mesh while sculpting.

There’s a lot of funny business going on in that picture of yours.

Despite what another anon said, you don’t need to learn to sculpt a head before learning topology, because topology applies to everything. Of course, topology is influenced by the shape of the actual object, so learning topology on a head like that may give you a bad idea of how a head is typically topologized.

Your model is mostly quads, but you have some n-gons near the temples, that highlighted loop you have is going all over the place, and that ear has way too much detail, and is creating a bunch of n-gons around it. If you go learn topology, you will be able to do that ear canal thing, and yes, it is possible to sculpt with topology from the beginning, but since you don’t seem to know how to topologize a head, that may be difficult.

Also, no. You create the high resolution concept to later use it for normal maps on your retopologized mesh which gives you insane details. You cant really skip retopologizing so its part of that really

You can pose your mesh in Mudbox, it's a handy tool. You just create joints on your mesh and then use the pose tool to drag parts of your mesh around. Without proper weightpaint it's not 100% perfect but for small to mid movements it's ideal

Yes you just get a basemesh and sculpt it out in subdivisions

>>898098
But you can for a basic humanoid body or head, nobody is out there retopoing every head in a game or movie, they're working from a basemesh or wrapping

Cleaned up the mesh and sculpted the head. The topology on the ears in particular is still a mess.
So I guess the people who say you first need to sculpt to the desired level of detail without worrying about it and only then retopology are correct. Still though I think it came out quite nice.
Blender's mirror modifier was a major pain the ass when sculpting because of vertexes getting stuck to the boundary when they accidentally touch it, and the smooth tool gets confused and leaves a crest between the halves.

There are ngons scattered over the place and the topology is still fucked. I'd just recommend not to bother with topology when you are sculpting the initial concept. Also, Zbrush has something called Zremesher which auto retopos your mesh automatically into quads at a desired polycount. Oregani blender sucks for sculpting you really want a seperate software for that.

The ngons were on purpose because they're easier to make manually than triangles or diamonds when tapering the lines going from different resolution zones.
I doubt zremesher would come out better I doubt it'd even get the loops around the eyes correctly.

You have the option to draw guidelines for the zremesher to follow strict areas. All in all nothing beats traditional retopology by hand.

Cool I didn't know that. Maybe I'll have to use zbrush after all.

Well yeah. I personally use mudbox since it has a retopology tool with guidelines aswell, plus it has a pose feature where you can just click on your mesh to create joints and move them around.

topology brush in Zbrush. can draw the topo out first then initialize it. can set the ear to its own polygroup and Zremesh it as if it were its own island, then manually fix the topo from there.
