Muito bom!! Várias possibilidades de uso.
I will start out by saying the teacher does a very good job at explaining how to use the program. So why two stars? Because most of the files attached did not work during my time with the course. I tried redownloading them, uninstalling and reinstalling Topogun, and still wouldnt work. Only a low poly dragon from the roadkill file seemed to load. And it turns out to be missing a piece of its foot. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why topogun wouldnt connect polygons in that area. Eventually i said screw it, imported it into blender and manually connected it. When I reimported it back into topogun I see the polygon once again was missing. Because there is nothing there to topologize.
Overall dealing with the course files has been a miserable experience. If you want to use these lessons, just get your own models and practice topology along with the instructor. Dont use his files (unless he fixes them)
Great teacher thanks!!! :D
Great course, gives you the opportunity to get to know the main tools of Topogun and watch a pro use them and what strategies to use to get high quality re-topologizing done in a timely fashion.
That being said, there are a few workflow improvements that slip under the radar, like using the right click to switch between tools instead of clicking the tool-bar every time you switch from the create to the edit or the bridge-tool - you'll being doing that a lot, believe me.
Aside from that, this course will no doubt jump-start your re-topologizing and save you a whole bunch of hours getting to know the tool.
