Advanced Member Ratchet Posted October 25, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Retopo Draw lines , mpst pf the time are not precise drawing them, not accurate. You can't draw and follow precisely straight edges. You can't draw perfect circles and elipses, or bezier curves to follow high res geometry. Those shapes are common to hard surface models. The other disadvantage is a line is only two points, while most of the time you would need lines subdivided. In this example, with shapes like Circle or ellipse and choosing some subdivision , it would be easy to perfectly match Voxel hard surface volumes using precise draw lines. Same for the straight lines, clicking on two points 3D coat could draw a line , with subdivision it would draw many straight segments. This is really missing in the retopo for hard surface voxels. While it's already possible in Blender with Vertex extrude, edge subdivide, and circle or ellipse curves to draw precise edges to make faces to retopo.

Advanced Member Ratchet Posted October 25, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Why can't i edit my previous post ? To resume drawing precise shapes to make faces : 1) straight lines with subdivision option 2) Circle and ellipse with subdivision option 3) Bezier curve with subdivision option And the ability to create some surface using and connecting two guides. For example two subdivided lines, two circles subdivided, subdivided line and bezier curve. Edited October 25, 2018 by Ratchet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Try using Draw Strokes changing Number of segments. Use Shift + LMB to draw straight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted October 30, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 You can use the Shape Draw modes in the E-Panel to draw extremely accurate lines or shapes, with the STROKES tool. I asked Andrew repeatedly, for a long time, to get that functionality. He finally added it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
