THE Retopology Toolkit for Blender
Retopoflow is a comprehensive set of tools that help make quick work of creating custom, clean, mid or low polygon meshes on top of high resolution sculpts or scans.

Version 4 is a complete rewrite that adds new features, tightly integrates the tools into Blender’s Edit Mode, and massively boosts performance.

Retopoflow 4 is currently discounted while in beta. The price will increase to $85.99 once the official release is ready.

Orange Turbine, a project of Autotroph, contributes to Blender development through its Corporate Gold sponsorship of the Blender Development Fund. Your purchase of Retopoflow helps make this possible!

Built for artists, by artists
Quality retopology is essential for efficient rigging, animation, texturing, and even rendering, but we also know from years of experience that it can often be a tedious chore. That’s why, since 2014, we’ve set out to do something that few thought was even possible – make retopology actually fun! 😀

Retopoflow is my favorite tool for manual retopology among all the different software that I have tried. The developers are passionate and are always finding new ways to make the addon better. Thank you!

The tools in Retopoflow are designed to be used by artists and make the retopology process feel more like quick sketching and less like monotonous pointing and clicking (especially with a tablet!) and make good topology practices, like evenly spaced quads, the default rather than the exception.

Here’s a quick intro to the power of each new tool you’ll be getting:

Contours

With Contours, you can quickly place and adjust loops around any cylindrical form. Just hold Ctrl and left click drag, and a loop will wrap around the high poly surface. You can adjust the number of vertices in the new loop by scrolling. Notice how, in the example above, the loop wraps perfectly around the finger even though there are several fingers overlapping in the view. Contours gets it right where other tools routinely fail because our advanced algorithm walks the loops around the mesh instead of using a simple shrink wrap approach.

PolyStrips

Quickly sketch to define your most important loops with PolyStrips. Just hold Ctrl and left click drag to draw out a strip. Starting or stopping your drawing over existing geometry will create a bridge. The size of the polygons is determined by the brush size, and you can easily add or remove segments by scrolling after a loop is placed.

The best part? You can also use PolyStrips to manipulate any selection of quads like a Bezier curve. It even works with proportional editing! Everything is automatically snapped to the surface so you can focus on what’s important – the perfect placement of your key loops.
