NumPy issues
I'm running Linux. I've already tried to run sudo apt -y install python3-numpy as suggested here and tried to install numpy using blender's python console and import pip pip.main.... it's saying everything is installed, but I still cannot enable addon either run import numpy in console. Please ask me if you need more technical details.

QGIS to/from CAD (architectural, 3D) workflow
In Blender, add the plugin "Blender GIS", which will give you an easy way to bring in terrain, aerial photos, etc. Import your DAE into Blender and have a look at "Import units" when importing. I still think you'll need to move the DAE model once it's in Blender to get it to match the terrain.

Large Forested Landscape (mapping trees based on raster/ real site conditions)
- Downloaded BlenderGIS (https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS) which allows the import of georeferenced elevation data (geo TIF file). I also tried to import individual tree points with no luck.

Yosemite National Park - Render
I used Blender GIS to import real height data from Yosemite Valley. Unfortunately, the mesh did not have enough detail and was low resolution. Thus I've used it as a base mesh and sculpted most of the detail using rock brushes.

Mesh exceeds polycount for retopoflow? I downloaded it a few days ago and bummed that it won't work or slow down blender. Has anyone experienced this?
here’s the link I saw that at. What do you think?
-
Just tell it to me straight - is there any way I can save this topology or do I need to start over?
https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow You can get it off Github for free if you're using it for educational purposes

What is your preferred method for making this high poly tree model's low poly version?
you can try it out for free to see if you like it https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow/releases

Is this a good way to retopologize? For anyone who's curious, this is the Grand Inquisitor.
I think the best program for this would be RetopoFlow 3. You can buy it here: https://blendermarket.com/products/retopoflow/. You can also get it free here: https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow. It's not automatic, but it's capable of really cleaning up models. The free version is released by the same people that make the paid version, you just don't get support from them if you get it from their GitHub instead of buying it.

During retopology, i did all the settings, backface culling, mesh visibility to front also modifiers like shrinkwrap and displacement. but the problem
Use Retopoflow addon. It's free on github. Also in my opinion it's better than Maya's quad draw
-
is there anyway to retopo without using Infront / Backface Culling in Blender ? without using paid addons
Retopoflow can be downloaded for free on GitHub https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow

PSA: All mesh creators should learn this to Optimize their models
PSA: Retopoflow is also completely free on the developer's github page, you just dont get any customer support with this version. https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow
- I'm trying to do retopology but the wrap I'm creating keeps overlapping and going inside the mesh. Can someone please help me stop this?

Resistance is futile
The same applies to anything that links to Blender code, including its Python modules. This means the same policy applies to all add-ons. For instance Retopoflow, which is ~$90 if you buy it, can be accessed for free on GitHub with no restrictions
- This is probably a bad time to show these off, but I have learned how to make Bionicle avatars!
