Retopo room: Switch between transparent and solid mesh view

Hello.

In the retopo room currently you see the transparent version of your retopo result, what is really good for retopo work. No critiqes here.

But I would like to switch the transparency off, often. I would like to see a "regular view" of my retopo mesh to check the mesh surface.

Important too: To have the possibility to switch the wires off, if needed.

Best wishes

Chris

Add to this Gouraud Shading and a live subdivision preview, and it would be totally awesome.

A subdivision preview would kill the workflow. It is only interesting, after Andrew have implemented a multicore support for the retopo tab - as long as this is not solved, a subdivision preview will need too much cpu time and is currently not practicable.

Why do you need a subdivision preview? Give an example.

When you want to have a non subdevided object for say, cinematics. You want the base mesh to be very low polygon and increase the sub-ds as the camera gets closer. you care less about how the base polygon mesh looks but want the sub-ds to look good.

This also applies to hard surface modeling. Have a very low base mesh.
