3D Model Retopology

3D models made by sculpting, 3D scans, or old CAD programs often create messy, large files with holes and other errors. The process of fixing or “clean-up” is called Retopology and may be a necessary step to work with 3D.

  • We work with you over email and virtual meeting spaces like Teams or Zoom.

  • Reduces file size for web apps and games.

  • Fixes holes and similar geometry errors in 3D model mesh.

  • May be necessary preparation for 3D printing, rigging, animation, and real-time web viewer applications.

There is no “typical” retopo job, it depends on your needs, the starting model condition, and the use case for the finished “clean” model.

For simple objects like 3D scans or prop sculpts, the clean-up process can often be automated and completed in less than 2 hours.

For more advanced projects, like hand retopoing a humanoid character model for game animation, may require 4 to 24 hours.

This process assumes the client already has a model ready to finalize for retopology.

Creating a brand new 3D model file for the project will require modeling time and communication according to your needs.
