  You are selling your self short by recommending people look at other retopo tools first. Having struggled with retopoflow and some others, usually I resort to pushing the model to 3D-coat and retopologizing the model there but this addon hits the notes that I love about 3D-coat's retopo tools without switching programs. I really like it and have been using it most of the night for a new character.

  About the only things I could suggest would be

  "The tooltips on the bottom bar don't update when I change the bindings in the plugin settings"

  "I would love to see a knife tool added to it because that's the only other tool I find my self switching off of this lovely little multitool for."

  "Maybe a smudge/smear brush for topology to go with the smooth brush. that might help quickly adjusting large sections smoothly"

  Other than that I love it. It's a minimalist tool that doesn't make me research how every function works, nor does it force me to learn an entirely separate interface. It's extremely performant for "Some reason" not sure why but it lags much less than retopoflow.

  Thanks for the great review Jinsaria! I'm really glad you're finding the add-on useful, especially as an alternative to other software.

  In response to your suggestions: (1) The tooltips not updating with custom bindings should be fixable—I’ll look into that. (2) The knife tool should be still available available by pressing K, but if you were thinking of something different, feel free to message me via the Contact Creator link. (3) A smudge/smear brush for topology could be tricky, but I’ll explore the idea.

  Also, I appreciate the performance praise: Blender’s Python is single-threaded, so it takes a lot of optimization tricks to keep things running smoothly.

  Thanks again, and happy retopologizing...

  easily 10/10, best plugin i’ve ever bought! quad maker is super efficient and reminds me a lot of maya. having that maya-like workflow in blender feels like heaven. it’s straightforward, basic in the best way, and handles everything you need with precision. highly recommend for anyone serious about clean topology and modeling—worth every penny.

  You can tell this was developed with workflow and quality of life in mind, the addon is exactly as the developer says: fast and simple. I find that the focused feature set encourages a more elegant, straightforward approach to retopology.

  I’ve tried multiple retopology addons, and I can’t believe how user-friendly this one is compared to others! I only had to watch the tutorials once to feel like I’d been using it for a long time
