Autopo question

[Kierab]

Hi all, 

I have noticed that when I am doing Retopo that sometimes when it asks me to brush on density the color is black or near black, and other times I can barely see it.  What causes this and how do i make it work properly?  When it is just a bit of dark it doesnt seem to work as well.  I have tried the brushes but nothing seems to make a difference.  Am I doing something wrong?

 

Also when doing the strokes for retopo how do you delete just a single point.  Everything I am doing is deleting the entire thing.

Density Painting

In models where you desire more polygonal density (for displacement purposes), you can designate these areas with a selection masks. You paint these regions with the Freeze tool, or you can make more precise designations by using any of the Stroke Modes. In practice, it is often helpful to allow Autopo to determine its topology without assistance, just to see which areas need more guidance, (this applies for Topology Guides, as well). Sometimes no guidance produces the best results.

After a first pass with Autopo, you will be able to see more clearly which areas need your manual help. It’s easy to get carried away, masking too many areas to be scrutinized by the algorithm.
