Let's look at them side by side, the left model is at 856 triangles which might not sound like a lot but it quickly adds up, and the right one is at 278 triangles however from looking at them they still look very similar and holds the shape of the asset very well.

So how do we know what can be baked down vs what needs to be built in to the mesh?
Well this is tricky because it depends on what purpose the asset has and how close to the asset we are going to get.
Here's an example of details that can be baked down

Reposting my retopo thread here on bluesky:
So I see a lot of questions regarding hard surface retopology or low poly for game art and I felt like I might be able to help a bit and explain some things as well as give some simple examples
