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!
