I've got a mesh that I'm retopologizing as a practice-run to get used to the motions, having followed the method described in this video by FlippedNormals. Using 2.8, and settings are as follows:

Snapping Modifiers

Everything is working as-expected, except that when I try to extrude down the length of the arm.

Base

Extrude

Everything looks fine until I rotate the viewport and see that...

Eep!

The vertices on the far-side of the retopology are snapping to points closest to the front, relative to the viewport at the time of extrusion.

Is there a way to keep this from happening, and instead just have them snap to the expected-surface of the mesh? I'm not adverse to the idea of getting 2.79 and nabbing retopoflow should that indeed be the only/ideal solution, but I would definitely prefer to try and keep everything consolidated to 2.8

Thank you very-much, in advance!

  • $\begingroup$ I guess you must not try to snap the vertices when they are on the other side of the object, maybe turn off transparency if it helps $\endgroup$

You did not check "project onto self" in the snapping tab. Try that out and see if it helped.
