**The goal is to create an optimized topology** for next asset creation tasks (shading, texturing, rigging & animation). **A full UV unwrap** is also added at this stage and the modeling is done with them in mind. **The goal is to create an optimized topology** for next asset creation tasks (shading, texturing, rigging & animation).

Typically we do a retopology since the shape and design was already developed via sculpting and loose modeling.

The focus is mostly on **minimized stretching and texel density**. UDIMs are great for this to order uv islands by needed detail level. Areas that are closer to the camera are given higher texture resolution, while covered or hidden parts could be heavily reduced in resolution or even stripped of textures.

**Pattern aligned UV maps** are useful (for example on clothing). These will make it easy to map texture patterns and they will correctly align the pattern to the surfaces. These can cause additional stretching, which is why they can be a secondary UV map. **Pattern aligned UV maps** are useful (for example on clothing).

Existing sculpted surface details are ideally reprojected onto the subdivided retopology and refined for production. For this the **multiresolution modifier** is used and the final topology should be made of **relatively evenly distributed quads for the best results**.
