I am a blender newbie and have modeled and sculpted this tombstone with a cool symbol and some cracks on it but somewhere along the line it made the whole mesh made of tris...

I'm assuming that this is a problem for retopology so, how do I fix it and then how should I do the retopology? Thanks for your time.

The quickest method I like to use is a remesh modifier and a decimate modifier. Works nice and fast. This tutorial might also help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUzJefYNQlI

  • $\begingroup$ I have applied the remesh modifier and it just deformed my mesh. Am I missing something? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ yes the remesh modifier just distorted my mesh instead of getting rid of the tris? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$

you can add plane (a separate object from your high poly not together with it) and then add a shrinkwrap modifier select the target to your high poly mesg , and then start shaping it like you high poly mesh and when you have finished apply the modifier.
