  • How to manually retoppo a high poly scan from Polycam to a clean low poly model with Instant Meshes and Blender. *Different technique from my last tutorial
    Process:
    1 - import Polycam scan into blender
    2 - Edit Mode / Mesh / Cleanup / Merge by Distance
    3 - Go into shader tab, remove normal map, then replace image texture with albedo
    4 - Use Boolean intersect modifier with a cube or simple mesh to cutout desired object(s)
    5 - Sculpt and delete unwanted geo (experiment with different selection methods and views)
    6 - Once happy with mesh, export obj and bring into Instant Meshes
    7 - Retoppo in Instant Meshes and replace obj with quads low poly obj
    8 - Play with vertices of low poly version to fit perfectly 1:1 with high poly mesh silhouette. May have to model with the extrude and bridge tools, snap and merge vertices, etc.
    9 - Add new material to low poly object (if one doesn't exist already)
    10 - In edit mode shift select, double click to get entire line, and mark seams using the edge menu. Watch a UV mapping tutorial for best practices.
    11 - Once your UV map is readable in 2D, add a tiling UV texture to the low poly mesh material to check if there's any poorly UV'd surfaces.
    12 - Using cycles renderer bake diffuse texture with Select to Active (first shift select the low poly model, then the high poly model), then set Extrusion to 0.001 m and Max Ray Distance to 0.01 m. Note, these values only work for default Polycam scale, if you resized it, you have to tediously experiment with values which takes a looong time to get right.
    13 - Wait 5-30 minutes (depends on resolution and complexity) for texture to bake. Save baked texture in texture paint window, or hit Alt S
    14 - Use clone stamp tool in texture paint mode to clean up the texture, then save as you go.
    15 - You're basically finished. Pat yourself on the back, you've successfully retopologized a photogrammetry scan in Blender!
