Manually Retopologize Your 3D Meshes with This Blender Tool
Quad Maker helps you keep your models clean.
Retopology is a task I feel no artist likes, but you can make it easier with Mark Kingsnorth's Quad Maker for Blender, a tool that lets you deal with it manually.
Quad Maker is a set of mesh operations designed to help 3D modelers quickly retopologize objects into clean, quad-based geometry, similar to Maya's Quad Draw.
Here are the operations contained in the tool:
- Add Vertices: Quickly add point vertices.
- Fill Quads: Fill the point vertices and surrounding geometry with quads.
- Extend Borders: Extrude border edges and vertices either in single, loop, or edge rings.
- Quick Cut: Quickly use the simple loop cut and slide operation with a single click.
- Draw Quad Strip: Quickly draw out strips of quads on a target surface.
- Smooth Vertices: Smooth out vertices in edit mode.
- Delete Mode: Quickly delete vertices, edges, and faces and dissolve interior edges in a single click/drag operation.
Kingsnorth notes that, as opposed to other Blender add-ons, Quad Maker focuses on simplicity, speed, a lightweight workflow, and reliable performance when retopologizing high-poly meshes.
