    Old time user and really impressed with the update. One of the best tools to retopo overall.
    The Interface is greatly improved, and much more intuitive now.

    Latest release appears to have fixed the user interface lag which is brilliant. Very useful add-on and well worth the money.

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

    Honestly, I love the team at CG especially their tutorials....but I am done with Retopoflow. I just tried the BETA 3.... I don't know what to say anymore or who or what to blame. Forgetting the lag, which is something I think will be fixed. I could upload literally 20 gifs right now to show you how this tool is broken. I got this in 2.79 era and honestly I have never not run into frustration.

    I seriously don't understand how after years of development this is still in the condition it is. I am sorry if I seem so negative..I have literally spent thousands on the market and this is still the only add-on that fills me with regret and causes me to squint whenever I fire it up. I almost feel like telling CG, either hire some more/other developers or trash the project. It is entirely riddled with bugs and non consistency. This adon sometimes FEELS like making geometry when you draw and other times it doesn't. Sometimes it feels like respecting symmetry and other times it doesn't. I am sorry guys to me and my workflow this is a disaster. There is nothing intuitive about this in reality. If it were ethically possible I would ask for my money back for this item on principal. GUYS, I shudder whenever I think of this add-on---that should tell you something everything.

    This add-on is not worth 86$...I am sorry guys, I know the work you put in and what you guys think you are worth (which makes sense). At best this is a 25-35$ add-on for its quality. Anything more for the quality you have provided is in my opinion unjustified.

      Hey Vesper, thanks for being a long time supporter of RetopoFlow! Of course, I'm incredibly sorry to hear that the recent versions have been a negative experience. The lag has been significantly improved as of yesterday's build.

      One request - please do send us those gifs!

      We've tried to make it as easy as possible to contact us ([email protected], Blender Market messaging, GitHub issues, and a button in the app itself). If you experience any issues like the ones outlined above, which do not sound like any issues we have run into yet or have been reported to us, please please let us know so that we have the opportunity to fix them.

    Thank you for the V3! What a joke, CG Cookie! 86$ for this laggy thing? Wow.

      Hi there, we're currently working on solving the lag some users are experiencing before creating an official release candidate. If you email us at [email protected] I can send you a development version that should fix your issues.

    best retopo addon for blender

    Oh Okay, I finally figured out why on earth none of the brushes would work/show - you have to have unit scale set to 1 M! Please remove that silly dependency

    Update: I changed my review from 3 to 5 stars. The developer updated the product and now it matches my expectations.

    A money back policy would be good.
    It all looks great on the videos, but these are all on virtually pristine models which you could retopologise with a plane and shrinkwrap.
    Regarding Beta 3 version.
    1 : constantly crashes blender - I've tried it with every version of 2.3 I have.
    2: throws exceptions every 5 - 10 minutes
    3: the UI interface is so non responsive you'll think your computer has hung.
    4:The help screen can take up to 2 minutes to load, if at all.
    5: The help screen is modal so you can't have it open whilst working.
    6: SELECTION SELECTION SELECTION. For the love of god please sort out the selection process. I would estimate 10 - 20 attempts for every successfull selection of an edge or vertex. Some vertex are simply not selectable. You can click a vertex and a vertex two polygons away is selected. And it's so slooooooowww.
    7: Changing type of tool in the main menu does not work. You click the tool you want, and that goes grey, then flashes once and then stays that way whilst the tool you are currently using remains the selected tool. But to make this particularly annoying is that it only does it 2 - 3 times out of 10, so you think you,ve changed tool and are clicking away madly to select something before realising you still have the last tool selected.
