Great plug-in! Waiting for the arrival of 2.0, hope will not be too long.

Thanks for the rating! We hope 2.0 won't be much longer either :)

The usefulness of this tool is fantastic. For starters, it's a lot more robust than the previous version, and when it does crash, you don't lose anything and can get right back into the work in seconds.
The Relax and Tweak tools are excellent for polishing geometry and can make even hastily-placed quads into professional looking work. The Patches tool is by far my favorite.
All of the tools are lovely and the functionality is great. Thank you for making this tool better!

Thanks for the review Allen and I'm sorry to hear you've had so many stability issues. Version 1.x is definitely lacking in that department, which has been our number one priority with version 2.
Beta for 2.0 is almost here (several months late), so I'll be keen to see what how your experiences improve.

This is cool but I only bought because I thought it had the edge patches feature : ( Will this ever be a thing? Realizing this was in testing but its been more than a year now. Really curious and excited. Thank you

Edge Patches was never finished as it proved to be too convoluted to work in a streamlined manner.
We have basic edge patching functionality in v2 that we're working on, though. It's' quite basic initially but we'll continue to improve it as we go along.

I'm still learning 3D, so this is my first retopo tool. The install, documentation, and videos are nice and simple, which made it easy for me to just start. I really appreciate that there's only a few elegant tools, many more would feel too daunting for a beginner like me (and I'd bet these few tools are deeper than I realize). I'm glad I picked this tool from the others that I was considering.

Would be better but the latest version has knocked out my install, and I have for help with no concrete resolution to why its not working. Will give it another review if a fix or 2.0 corrects the issue.

Hey Bryan, I don't believe we ever got a support request from you on the install issue?
Typically installation problems are due to conflicting files left over from the install. It's always a good practice to restart Blender after updating an add-on, otherwise it'll commonly try and run both versions at the same time and fail.
Please send me a support request via your inbox, https://blendermarket.com/inbox and I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot further.

Really smooth workflow. Innovative design with the Bezier curve based polystrips. Reliable snapping to the surface. Looking forward to the 2.0 update. Looks amazing!

It's hard to think about ever retopologizing again without this addon. Good stuff!

This is an essential plugin for blender if you ask me! It would be an essential plugin for every software if it was available for them. Now it might be buggy from what I've heard but I didn't encountered any bugs. But even if there are they are solvable with support of the creators I guess. But anyway, this cuts down the time for repology from hours to minutes! I am not joking, it even totally killed my box modell workflow for characters. Because now retopology is so quick that there is no reason not to sculpt a character. It actually was my fault not to purchase this a year ago and wasting my time making really good box modelled character, even if they rivaled sculpted models in some parts the topology just can't compare. Just buy it, even if it is not on discount, if you are into character design, if you work professionally and want to stay competetive than buy this plugin!.
