Polytools
Developer: AlbertoFX
Retopology add-on that lets you draw clean quad meshes onto a surface in the Blender viewport, previewing strips as you go.
What Polytools does
PolyTools helps you draw quad topology directly onto a surface in the 3D Viewport. A focused set of sub-modes covers building, adjusting, merging and cleaning.
Dragging out quad strips spaces them according to the surrounding edge length, and guide points go down with Ctrl and a left click. Loop Mode builds neat edge loops around curved, cylinder-like surfaces, with segment count adjusted by holding S while moving the mouse, and brush-style tools help refine the result. Retopologists working on characters and props will find the live preview intuitive.
Key features
- Live quad strip preview with adaptive spacing
