Retopo Tools Compared. automatic vs manual

3D ModelNoAI

just a simple comparison between automatic retopo tools and manual retopo in a context of high poly 3D scanned original mesh and low poly mesh as a result. In this case I was looking to maintain as much as possible of original details while having as little as possible polys. Very small details should be transferred by normal maps later. It is intended for real time graphics. some notes.I made manual retopo in 3d coat first and max reports 2222 verts 4888 edges 4440 tris 2667 polys. I used one of these values (verts or polys) as required outcome for automatic tools. thats not a very equal comparison so as a result we can not draw conclusions comparing one automatic tool vs other automatic tool sins polycounts varay. The only comparison i am interested in here is - manual vs these auto tools.
