TopoGun 3 In Action

It appears that the new version will mix manual and semi-automated retopology features, allowing users to paint masks and this split a sculpt into separate meshes.

The recently released video includes a complete timelapse of the process of retopologising a human head. The toolkit mixes both manual and semi-automated workflows, letting users draw guide curves to control the flow of edges generated automatically.

There's also is a new Patch tool that can be used to sketch out major regions of a sculpt following anatomical landmarks for TopoGun to generate new topology automatically. You can then use these patches and combine them to create a new low-poly surface for the entire model.

What is more, the new update will allow users to turn parts of a sculpt into separate meshes by painting masks. You can, for example, take ears and deal with them separately.
