I want to retopologize a mesh for rendering but before I do this, I want to know how I would go about baking the displacement from my high poly mesh built from a basemesh, to my new retopo'd mesh.

Thanks,

To create displacement maps, just follow this how-to:
http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/Creating_Displacement_Maps

But why don't you use normals instead of displacements?
I find it much better and faster to use normals.

I may, but my basemesh was very low poly. My retopo though is going to be of relative high density.
