    Thanks for the tips ! In some simple cases doing polyRetopo directly works just as fine, even nicer results; as for any tools/software it demands many trials and errors, still fast and satisfying with those precious tips. I just never heard of those, didn't even know they were there xD

    For those of you who dont know about edit edge flow. It is under edit mesh - edit edge flow. This attempts to follow existing curves around your selected edges/verts. That most likely will easily fix the odd bulges that he was getting in the video a lot faster

    Thank you so much! I was really frustrated with this Retopology tool. That trick you did, forcing the Center Edge to be a hard Edge, is brilliant. I never thought of that. I was going about it a different way, ( A crappy and slower way) I was deleting one half of my geo, cleaning up the edges manually, and then using the mirror tool to duplicate and rebuild the model. Your method is way better. Now I can use this tool without being frustrated! Like you said, I was getting okay results, but it looked unprofessional. That one little trick has just solved so much stress :-) thank you again

    Thank you for sharing the script because my model suddenly lost all the crease I've created and it would be a pain if I reselect all of them. Then I remembered I've watched this video you mentioned about auto find hard edge I thought It would be useless but now It has enlightened me that It makes creasing not boring as it used to. So thank you, sir ♥

    GREAT video, thanks for the tips!!! Part of me loves the idea of Maya and Mudbox cross breading technology. But another part of me thinks this is the seed of Mays finally absorbing Mudbox. I like Mudbox as a stand-alone sculpting tool. But I see it losing to Zbrush so badly that making it part of a "full real 3d app" can be a great excuse for people/studios to swing towards Maya vs. Zbrush.
