I agree Michael. It's very complex stuff. I'm hoping that AI will bring the final auto-retopo solution.

Stefan, you're right, ZRemesher is still the best auto-retopologizer in the 3D industry, although 3D-Coat's Autopo can yield very nice results as well, sometimes even better than ZRemesher.

There's also a Blender auto-retopo add-on called Tesselator, which is gradually evolving into quite a nice solution:

Greetings fellow MoIists!

Slightly on a tangent, but I came across this guide and it might prove useful to some of you that use Zbrush.

Yeah, I transitioned to a new site CMS and back to Artstation in the mean time. A number of my blog posts died in the updating process. :|

I can safely state that the latest ZRemesher / Quad Remesher versions offer the best auto-retopology algorithms at the moment.

• ZRemesher (version 3 at the time I write this) is part of ZBrush.

• Quad Remesher is the same algorithm, but made available for other DCCs, like Blender, 3ds Max, Maya and more.
─ I've written an extensive post (and thread) about it on Blender Artists, including a FAQ:
https://blenderartists.org/t/quad-remesher-auto-retopologizer/1170913

• There's also a free / open source auto-retopologizer that comes reasonably close to ZRemesher / Quad Remesher, but its development seems to have frozen for a while now:
