  It constantly crashes blender. I have a really low poly model I was remeshing. I couldn’t get past the hand. It’s a great idea but it just doesn’t work as well as it should. In my opinion, it’s not worth $86. This is a $15-20 to try add on at best. I really wish it was more stable.

  Hi there, please reach out with details about your crash so that we can find the issue and fix it! Please also be sure that you're using the correct version of RetopoFlow for your version of Blender as noted in the documentation.

  this is an amazing program, with a really useful yet sometimes a little frustrating set of tools.
  but there is one thing that has me puzzled, that there is the same version hosted on github for free. i mean i totally don't mind supporting the team but not knowing this hit me against the head once i learned about it. just a little niggle. otherwise as i said amazing tool set for retopologizing. totally a most for everyone sculpting and wanting to do a retopo.

  Thank you for the kind review! While we do host the code on GitHub for everyone to poke through, to keep with the original open-source spirit, it's only because of the Blender Market that we can keep updating it for new versions of Blender, developing new features, and offering support. I'm so glad to hear it's been helpful so far!

  Using and downloading this addon was actually my first time using Blender in general. A company I was working with offered to purchase this tool for me after I had done some preliminary research on good re-topologizing tools to either add to 3ds Max or Zbrush. Needless to say it was a fantastic purchase, it combines all the tools you need to create clean topology into an easily digestible package. Highly recommend!

  This add-on is, no joke, one of the best add-ons ever made for Blender. The way it’s built is like a whole program of it’s own. This makes my workflow go quick and smooth. Well done to CG Cookie! Definitely worth the buy.

  This add on is amazing once you figure it out. I had some trouble with it initially as a beginner in blender, but that's normal when you first use add ons. Strokes tool is great for things like eyes and nostrils. Patches is Retopoflow's version of Gridfill, great for larger areas with less detail. Poly pen tool and loop tool are usually what I use to figure out the kinks. Contours is amazing too, but I haven't used it too much yet.

  My only complaint is sometimes the Symmetry function can be a bit finnicky. If you try to use it with polypen it will only create triangles if the quad is too close to the other side mirrored side. So I find that I have to turn it off and on when retopologizing close to the central boundary. But this is a small issue in the larger scale of things. Overall great product

  Hi Cesar, that is absolutely not the case. We are temporarily pausing adding new features (but not pausing bug fixing) so that we can try to help fix core issues with retopology in Blender. Once that's accomplished, we will be able to improve RetopoFlow in ways that are not currently possible due to those limitations. It's a true win-win for everyone.

  This is absolutely a game changer for me. Retopoflow easily beats other tools I've used, even dedicated software. My only complaint was that I found myself often wishing it was easier to reach my regular modeling tools (for example, insetting a face or group of faces within another face), but that's easily handled by tab switching back to the normal editing workflow. I imagine keyboard shortcuts would help there as well, but to be honest, I suck at remembering those.

  Best plugin I've purchased for Blender, and more useful on its own than my old Modo and Topogun licenses.

  a must have add on and I like it, but I hope you find a way to assign tweak vertices on every function without a quick shortcut.

  Great RetopoTool, has been my go-to (and Topogun ;) ) Love it, simple, intuitive, bought it at 2.x love all the new features in 3 and looking forward to future enhancements, helps keep my workflow opensource.

  this addons is full of love for the artist. the usability is top and it kinda makes retopologizing fun. i can't go back now to normal blender tools lol. if you have to do a lot retopo work, this speeds ups like 10 fold, it saves you the pain of navigating around cylinder shaped topology to place a face, you can change the number of faces of a strip to your liking, you can draw out lines which then are filled with faces matching closely your lines etc.
  with this i really can focus more on stuff like the actual structure i'd like to create, and easily edit them.
