This tutorial is deprecated. I now recommend using zbrush zremesher, or using the remesh function in marvelous designer.  If you really want to see the original tutorial (although I don't recommend it), it's still on my tumblr.

Sadly it still doesn't work.... Would Transfer Attributes under Mesh work?

Sadly it still doesn't work.... Would Transfer Attributes under Mesh work? Sorry for the late response, I completely forgot to check this thread. For your question, I'm not exactly sure, because my knowledge in maya is limited, so I haven't really tested trying anything else, and I wouldn't know if that works. However, I know there's an alternative tutorial on youtube which involves transferring attributes. I guess you could give that a shot. You can find it here - |

is this any different from just putting your high poly mesh into blender and using the decimate tool?

It's much more cleaner which means it's easier to work with, cleaner, looks better, works with textures better etc. You can keep decimating, as long as you're keeping the poly counts low it's fine, but if you find it's ruining your mesh, you can always try this |

is this any different from just putting your high poly mesh into blender and using the decimate tool? It's completely different from decimating MD meshes. Game meshes have to be built in certain way to be able to move nicely in animations, MD meshes created only for making previews of merchandise, artwork etc. Retopologizing means changing the position of polygons for being usable for game engine, retopologizing tool doesn't actually move polygons. It sort of builds new mesh copying the shape of MD mesh, but as result you get the mesh that will look much better when sim moves, will be easier on GPU and also it's going to be easier to transfer uv_1 and weights to retopologized mesh. |

after all of this, once i export it from maya as an obj and import it into blender, there is no texture. even after locking and unlocking it like you said.  jwofles |

Also, when I googled it this came up, so that might be worth a shot. If neither of those work, maya or blender may have deleted all the faces and left the edges but I have no idea why that would happen and I would only be able to tell you to try everything again to fix it :C You could upload the .blend file and I can take a look but once again, no promises I'll know the issue, I'm not an expert sadly. |

Nothing cuter than this
