Asset Overview
Scan of a dried starfish that I found, probably bought as a souvenire.
Scaned using 64 focus stacked images, around 50 focus steps per image.
I have tried several auto-retopo options that did produce a nice result, but had terrible edge flow, making it very hard to cleanly unwrap this thing.
I ended up doing fully manual retopo in 3ds max, using classical HSM techniques.
It took ages, due to complexity of the model, but it was a good practice piece for sure.
