Retopology
Re-topology, or sometimes just retopology, is the process of adjusting the topology of an existing 3D model. Topology refers to mesh-based 3D models, and is the way the individual polygons are meshed together into a 3d grid, with each polygon sharing a dividing line with each of it?s neighbours, until the mesh encloses a hollow 3D shape.
Thus retopology is the process of creating more polygons to fit into the mesh, adjusting the positioning of those already there, or downsizing the existing number of polygons to try the same shape with less.
