Thanks for the coprehensive response Jay, yeah I can understand what you mean about zremesher, I still have to get used to the Maya re-topologising tools, usually use Topogun myself. I will continue to use edge looping so, as I export most models I make and college and stuff. So I'm assuming its safe to say that Iron Man mesh has been re-topologised to be as clean as it is..
