Danny Mac's instruction relies on a structured, two-pass methodology rather than trying to build a dense, perfectly deformation-ready character all at once.
If you have ever looked at a wireframe of a AAA game character and wondered, "Why did they put a loop there ?", this course answers that question. It is a small investment for a skill that you will use for the rest of your 3D career. If you have ever looked at a wireframe
What (Blender, Maya, ZBrush, etc.) do you primarily use for retopology?
Danny demonstrates how to map edge loops to follow the pectoral muscles and the rectus abdominis, ensuring the character can crunch and twist without texture stretching. Danny demonstrates how to map edge loops to
The "Tier 2" version is the ultimate toolkit for mastering full-body retopology. While the standard version covers the basics, Tier 2 is designed for artists who want a deep, "second-pass" dive into the subject. It's the premium bundle that provides the most comprehensive set of resources for creating production-ready characters.
If you’re working through Danny Mac’s retopology series, likely covers the head and face. Tier 2 continues with the torso, arms, hands, legs, and feet — the challenging areas where edge flow affects deformation.
