3D Retopology Services

3D Retopology Services We Provide

High-poly isn’t always a positive quality, and no one knows this better than 3D-Ace. Our 3D retopology company has created hundreds of animations and sequences with 3D models where we went into the process with a large poly count, and successfully used retopology to scale it down while keeping everything looking great. We will happily do the same for you.

How we create 3d retopology

You can count on our 3D retopology studio to deliver top-notch results that will let you dive right into animation. This high level of efficiency is established thanks to an effective multi-stage process that puts a lot of focus on creating an optimal mesh and removing any clutter that can delay or slow production.

Asset acquisition and analysis

Once we get 3D models and assets, we must also learn how they will be involved in animation/movement to properly chart a retopology plan.

Polygon selection and distribution

Using the existing 3D asset, we create a new and simplified mesh with 3D model retopology and all of the polygons in place that will be crucial to the next rigging and skinning stages.

Mesh correction & optimization

This is a polishing phase where we straighten any distorted polygons, make logical choices that boost mesh authenticity, smoothness, and aesthetics while maintaining strong performance.

Our Business Models

Fixed Price

You set the budget, we stick to it. The full scope, requirements, terms, and specifications are agreed upon before the start of the project and can’t be changed later.

Time & Material

This flexible model calculates cost based on time and material spent, leaving room for changes to the budget and scope of the project over time.

Dedicated Team

A complete team (or a single expert from our staff) joins your existing specialists on the project. This team stays under your management and can be scaled up/down over time.

Why Choose Us for 3D Retopology

Once our expert team gets a hand on your 3D models, they will identify any factors and elements that may cause issues with mesh design and go into the process aware, leading to a top-notch result that will require a minimum (if any) of revisions. This is especially important for face retopology, which is notoriously difficult to do successfully.

Fast delivery

We have a large team working to cover 2D and 3D needs, so we should be able to perform retopology quickly, while maintaining a high level of quality that few can match.

Continued support

3D-Ace will never leave you to fend for yourself, and is ready to take on additional tasks of content production, including modeling, animation, and integration into software. Thus, you can use our retopolgy for games and other media.

We go the extra mile

A retopology project is always a top priority for us, even when the volume of work is not that high. You can count on us to put in the vital time to polish and optimize your 3D mesh to the point where it is not just good, but great.

Our Technology Expertise in 3D Retopology

We make use of the best tools available to retopologize 3D models and scenes, both in manual and automatic modes. For example, we use various functionality + plugins in Maya, Blender, and 3Ds Max to speed up and simplify the retopology process, going back manually to guarantee the cleanliness and symmetry of character retopology and other models.

FAQ

Is 3D retopology suitable for rendering?

Though renders are most known for their inclusion of high-poly models, there are certainly cases when a low-poly approach and retopology are helpful. The most common example is CAD files, which are incredibly complex and filled with too much data for quick or effective render. In this case and several others, 3D retopology outsourcing will help you remove bottlenecks and allows you to get renders that are accessible while still looking good.

After retopology, can you also add textures to the models?

Yes, this is part of our service offerings and our strengths. We have been working with 3D models and everything related to them for over two decades, so we can cover all your needs for changing the polygon count, designing textures, producing animation and VFX, you name it. Just contact us and tell us as many details as possible about the content you need, where it will be used, etc., and we will take care of the rest.

How do you choose the most optimized mesh for retopology?

It is a matter of analyzing the platform/type of media where the model will be used. For example, a mesh for a background/NPC character probably won’t need too many details and vertices, so the mesh will end up having a low poly count. At the same time, our team will put in the time and effort to make important models look good while maintaining a high level of performance. Our technical knowledge will let us quickly adjust based on the details and specifications you provide.

Guvenc Sahin

Owner of Vector Games

3D-Ace created high-quality 3D models of characters and weapon units for our game. The team worked in a perfect harmony, and every member of it from artists to managers is incredible. They work fast and professionally. 3D-Ace is the best choice for outsourcing needs.

Tim Ransom

President at Visual Thunder Media

3D-ACE has delivered excellent quality 3D modeling work for us on budget and on time. As a demanding client with precision expectations, I am pleased that they rise to the bar each time we challenge them.

Matijs de Haard

Operational Manager at 3DIMERCE

We did an advertising 3D video animation of medicines for a pharmaceutical company with 3D-Ace. I’ve known them for years as a company with good pricing and speed, broad skillset and sufficient size to take on larger projects if needed.
