  Essential retopo suite in my every day tasks. Support is amazing and very fast. I would buy it even at double price. Invaluable

  I would have given this 5 stars, if I was able to actually use it. HORRIBLE performance on my 9k verts, which isn't a lot, even with a very decimated source mesh, on a rig that should be able to run anything without a sweat. I can tell this was coded badly. Don't buy this addon if you're going for more than 2k verts on your mesh. Wish I read the reviews before buying.

  Hi, there are likely a few workflow changes you can make to improve performance, but you're also welcome to get a refund and wait until RetopoFlow 4 is released, which has completely solved this issue and is currently in early alpha.

  I absolutely love this addon. It made the retopology process far more intuitive and easy than I could have imagined. You guys are awesome!

  Pretty much in agreement with many of the other reviews i've read. the tool is excellent when it works. It has some extreme limits on polycounts for the source mesh though that kind of make the tool useless for the projects you'd want to rely on it most. 150k vert clothing item is often too much for Retopoflow, causing my entire system (AMD 7800X3D, RTX 4070) to completely freeze until blender crashes. For relatively simple (in scultping terms) objects the tool can be a huge timesaver. it's hard to rely on it though when it's a roll of the dice whether activating it is gonna completely freeze you out of your system for 10 minutes or not

  Hi, thanks for the feedback. At the moment the best way to work in RetopoFlow 3 is in parts, which will work around any polycount limitation on the retopology object. We will have a complete fix in the upcoming RetopoFlow 4, which is a complete rewrite, and you can get a full refund if you'd prefer to wait and purchase that version instead when it's released.

  I've never been able to use it properly (crashes, freezes, etc.).　It's a shame, because it was so expensive.

  Hi, it should definitely not be crashing! Please reach out to support when that happens so we can figure out the cause. If we can't fix it, we'll offer a refund.

  The retopo-features it provides look very useful, but in the end for me it was wasted money. I really don't like being locked into its own mode. They should rewrite the tools to be just available during standard editing.

  Although the tool is well-designed, its performance makes it meaningfully unusable, at least for me. Listed "known issues" suggests not exceeding source meshes of around 1 million polygons and target meshes of around 20 thousand. In my experience, the source mesh must be less than 250 thousand polygons and the target mesh must remain below around 4 thousand, or below 2 thousand if I want to avoid noticeable to severe lag. The information page that pops up when the tool launches indicates that a half-second or split-second lag on certain functions (clicking, hovering) is expected, which is already disappointing (or, for some people, unacceptable) but in my case its about three seconds, sometimes two if I'm very zoomed in.

  Personally, I don't work with models that are compatible with a 2k-4k polygon limit; the detail I need just can't be captured with that. However, this tool would work nicely if that limit is acceptable for your use case.

  I can't recommend the tool based on my experience with the performance, but I wish I could, and I hope the performance issues are eventually resolved. The actual designs of the tool's included functions are fantastic. Unfortunately, working with them feels like I'm working with great *ideas* that I can't actually use.

  I had never left a review, but I have been using Retopoflow for about 3 years, I think it is an excellent addon, it has some small problems in areas of geometry that are more closed like a mouth with a tongue (it didn't have it very open either), but other than that, It helps a lot when doing a retopology, it makes your life easier.
  Also you can report a bug on Github and they really try to fix it quickly (obviously as much as possible).

  It was working till it stopped completely. .
  I did use this tool for getting a low polly mesh result and it worked mostly till recently and I upated from 3.5 + onwards it has been crashing quite a bit on even basic sculpts and unfortantly completly crashes with version 4 due to a repeating auto save error .
  I hope this is going to be fixed soon as it would be nice if it worked more at ease with blenders new retopology tools in 4.0 but at this moment at time its unfortuantly unusable.

  great set of tools, easy to setup but unfortunately, i can not use polypen for more than 3 minutes before blender freezes or just completely crashes and lose progress because as far as i know you have to exit the tool to save, i could be wrong about that. Im currently working on a simple model and my retopology is not anything crazy and yet it still crashes. Ive been working on the same thing for a day and a half now when i should have been done yesterday. At this point this tool is not helping me if its making my workflow take longer due t bugs and other issues with this add on. Hope it improves further.
