Retopologized Garments Stitcher: Streamline Your 3D Garment Retopology Workflow

I created this addon with the sole purpose of simplifying the often tedious task of stitching back retopologized garments, especially those created in Marvelous Designer or other specialized software. While manual work is still necessary, this tool significantly reduces the time required by introducing a new, efficient workflow. The Retopologized Garments Stitcher addon serves as the cornerstone of this improved process, making your garment retopology tasks smoother and more manageable.

Advanced Vertex Handling: Index-Independent Selection

At the heart of Retopologized Garments Stitcher lies an efficient vertex handling system. Unlike traditional methods that rely on vertex indices (which can change during editing), this add-on uses a custom data layer to assign unique IDs to vertices. This approach allows you to:

1. Register vertices in loops
2. Modify your mesh, including deleting vertices
3. Reselect the remaining vertices from your original selection, even after significant mesh changes

This index-independent selection method ensures that your workflow remains flexible and non-destructive, allowing for creative freedom without the fear of losing your carefully curated selections.

Continuous Improvement and Support

As the creator of this add-on, I use it daily in my own work. This hands-on experience allows me to continuously identify areas for improvement and new features that could benefit users. You can expect regular updates and enhancements in the future, ensuring that the Retopologized Garments Stitcher remains a cutting-edge tool for your 3D garment creation needs.

Important Note

Please be aware that to fully utilize this add-on, you need to have the Loop Tools add-on activated in Blender. Loop Tools is a built-in Blender add-on that provides essential functionality for manipulating vertex loops, which this add-on leverages for optimal performance.

Version 1.1.0 (16/08/24)

- Added a new UI debug section to alert in case loops to stitch share vertice (a situation that would impede stitching itself).
