Reply To: Good Retopology – How do I know?

Hey,

Left side is the sculpt, Right side is the retopology (obviously :D)
What I tried to do was to lay loops around the specific muscle areas to get most of the details from the sculpt to the retopology. This left me with some very dense geometry in certain parts of the model that I kind of carried with me to other areas. I’m not to sure if this is good or bad.
For example:

In this area I did an edge loop that needed a lot of vertices to get that curve right, which lead to this:

I have no idea if this is an “allowed” amount of geometry or complete waste.
