Make A Game Character: Boots & Pants Retopology in Maya

Описание: 🎨 Stylized Game Character Tutorial Series – Full Pipeline in Maya, ZBrush & Substance Painter

In this video, we focus on retopologizing the boots and pants of our stylized game character using Autodesk Maya. This lesson covers how to create clean, efficient topology for clothing and footwear while maintaining the character’s stylized proportions and silhouette.

You’ll learn how to approach retopology for hard-surface-inspired boots and soft cloth forms like pants, with an emphasis on clean edge flow, consistent density, and deformation awareness for animation.

This video continues the retopology phase of the series and prepares the lower body for UV layout, texturing, and rigging later in the pipeline.
