= Re-Topology Modeling =
Re-topology means creating a new mesh surface from scratch, that conforms to an existing "messy" mesh, often created via [[CharacterSculpting|sculpting]]. Messy meaning that it either has too much detail or has a [[Topology|topology]] that's not the best for texturing, shading, or animation. The details from the "messy" mesh are transferred to the new re-topologized mesh by baking a [[DisplacementMap]] or [[NormalMap]]. The new mesh can either be used directly in-game, or it can be used as the control cage for a [[Subdivision Surface Modeling|subdivision surface]].
