Wip flowerpot.this will be a plant used into my project 🙂 

[yukino hatake]

flower pot i am creating . still have to model the plant itself of course 🙂

[yukino hatake]

Finished modeling and texturing the 2 form of leaves for the plant.
since i am modeling for a sci-fi genre style you will see fantasy models with special collors or sometimes special forms 🙂

Hey guys i went for a more realistich female character and now i started retopology.

I hope some could give some critique .
where its good or not .
Second time i do retopology (trough i didnt finish my first one yet)

this are some screens .

the topology should be good since i play to use this later to learn to animate further 🙂

Hope to know if its good so far or not 🙂

Hi Yuki, did you watch this: https://cgcookie.com/lesson/modeling-a-head-pt-1-main-loops ?

I am not an expert on topology, but I think these loops are missing:

And overall there are a lot of verts in my opinion. Especially the loop around the top of the head won’t need that many.

@spikeyxxx
like this ?

[spikeyxxx]

A lot better, but I’d still get rid of at least half of those vertices…

For instance here are some edge loops that can easily be removed:

I’m not saying you should remove exactly those edge loops, of course, just saying that there is too much geometry for this stage.

Personally I’d start all over, using as little geometry as possible. Adding an extra edge loop later when needed is simple enough and a mesh with less verts is a lot better to handle..

But, like I said, I’m no expert;)

hello @spikeyxxx

i restarted since its still good practice.
should there be any aditional loops or if i fill in now should things be better ?

there is indeed not as many faces needed as i used before . the result still is great when i turn on smooth and subdivision surface  xD

[spikeyxxx]

Great improvement Yuki!

Maybe get rid of a few edges on the lips, which will also help connecting things:

And do the same withe the ring around the eyes…Then you can start filling things up.

This looks a lot better now!

thank you @spikeyxxx for the feedback.
tomorrow ill continue and indeed removing this will help. its a bit learning flow this topology 😀

but fun for sure 😀

@spikeyxxx
question i am stuck and not sure how to fill this space up best. (think its called pole (or N-gon ) )

what way do i use to best fill up this place

[spikeyxxx]

Maybe like this:

Then you can fill in those two quads. 

There are indeed a few five-sided poles, but that is unavoidable with facial topology, as long as they are not in a place that will see a lot of movement and there are not too many of them, you should be o.k.

[odunov]

Kinda jumping in but I’d suggest this instead. While @spikeyxxx ‘s method would work you’d get a spiraling loop. Don’t get upset because of mistakes. Retopology needs a lot of getting used to and even then it’s still very tedious 😀

[spikeyxxx]

Thanks @drgnclw ! 

I’m not very good at this;)
