    I primarily utilize it for refining and optimizing models destined for integration into a game engine. It functions marvelously. I can't fathom the amount of time it would take me to manually clean the models.

    Perfect 10 out of 5 stars. Extra 5 stars given because this add-on is more than worth the price of admission and has cleaned up so many of my meshes and bad normals in a click of a button. A no-brainer for any Blender user. A must buy. Perfect.

      Thanks for your exceptional rating, Tony!
      I can't find the words to tell how happy I am to hear that.
      I'm now even more motivated to keep going.
      Thank you again and Happy New Year!

    What a great Addon. Does exactly what it says. I tend to import a lot of Autodesk Inventor/Solidworks models as FBXs and the topology alone can be a pain to edit. In the past I have tended to remodel units due to heavy meshes. Now I just click the addon and it's sorted. Very impressed.

    This has easily become one of my top 3 most used addons of all time. I am APPARENTLY a messy builder. Using this to quickly optimize game assets and clean up my weird geometry is PRICELESS!

    Saved me a ton of time. If you have badly translated or poorly modeled stock assets you have to work with, this is a lifesaver. I especially like the way it can perfectly fix flipped normals.

    it does what it says .. it's true that you could manually do all what it does, but it's really nice having them all under a few buttons .. and it's great if you have a large number of models or several files ..

      Thanks, Yamam. Glad you like it!
      Let me know what I can do to make it a 5-star experience for you.

    This is an essential tool I use primarily to help manage my poly count. I use a lot of kitbash models which pump up the poly count pretty fast; Instant Clean dissolve gets run on everything with excellent results.

    If you export Zremesh data from Zbrush (via GoZ and probably by just export files), plugin have nothing to offer in terms of clean-up your model. At current version 2.0.3, plugin report to cleanup non manifolded elements, but after inspection by MeshLab, RizomUV (and even Blender select by feature non-manifolds) you can see those are still there.
    Creator of plugin suggested to close model before, but for photogrammetry data that I work with, its not a option in many cases. Just for sake of peace of mind, made same tests with water tight model and things came out same. Because of all above issues, its hard call
    Instant Clean as a "The Ultimate Mesh Clean". Maybe for traditional 3D users, but not for Zbrusher looking for topology fix solution (btw. fact that i can solve my issue by blender select by feature and remove those problematic faces and then close holes, make me wonder if I need any similar solution at all).
    Plugin is useless from my perspective and not work.

    2 stars instead 1 because of active suggestions and reply from plugin creator. Will apply for refund and leave open window for provide feedback as possible beta tester.

      Hello Jurand,
      As I proofed to you in my Discord server, Instant Clean does fix all issues it promises to fix, but sadly no answer from you.
      The non-manifold geometry you want to clean are boundary edges that obviously can't be cleaned (except for boundary edges of holes, they can be cleaned by closing the hole with the 'Fill Holes' option). I was expecting that this resolved the confusion, all the sadder it is, to see such a bad review from you. So I'm hoping for the removal of this review from you since it doesn't include issues or problems that are actually existing.

      Best regards,
      Ruben Messerschmidt
