  I've found myself really enjoy using RetopoFlow, as it has taken so many of the headaches out of retopology. It's such an easy, quick system to get to grips with.

  However, it isn't perfect (yet). Vertex and line selection could do with some work to allow more intuitive unified selection method. For example, to select a loop you must first use the 'Loops' tool, select the loop, then switch to the tool you wish to actually use (Relax/Tweak/Patches etc). A more unified selection method could improve user efficiency.

  The add-on would also be improved if edge loops could be 'marked' as permanent 'boundaries' for masking purposes when using the relax tool. This is a particular niggle of mine when working on hard body sculpts where edge loop position can be particularly important to the overall shape of the model.

  Despite these niggles, RetopoFlow gets a hearty thumbs up from me and I'd gladly give it a full 5 stars if a mark boundaries system was implemented!

  One of the best retopo tools I've used. I'm excited to see how it continues to improve and evolve over time. Huge quality of life and productivity booster for me. Cheers.

  I had no problem getting this addon to work as expected. I had been tracing a character for weeks, bought this addon, and was done in a couple of hours. Not only do the cylinder/band tracing tools work quick, but the additional tools of polygon snapping makes the tedious process instant. Love it.

  Doesn't work as expected. When it does work, it's powerful, but it's inconstant. I appreciate the effort of the creators. But this tool feels like a prototype due to the frequent bugs and inconsistent functionality. I do not recommend this tool for retopology.

  Hey Dave, we reached out via email to ask about the bugs and to provide a fix, but haven't heard back. If you have any further issues please let us know right away!

  I use this tool for every character model I retopologize (the contours tool is a huge time saver), but the stability and performance really prevent me from using it to its fullest extent. Crashes that break the ui of the project file are common, and simple operations like selecting and moving points can be painfully slow. It's not as polished of a product as I would have hoped, and the performance prevents me from using this instead of the vanilla mesh edit mode for most operations, but I think this addon is well worth the money for the time saving tools it provides.

  Thank you for taking the time to review! I'm glad to hear that the tools are time saving. If you have any issues with stability, please let us know right away at retopoflow@cgcookie.com

  While I wish this wasn't so expensive, it is worth it. The creators are kind enough to maintain a free version on github, which I was using for some time, but ultimately wanted to purchase it to support it since I have found it so necessary for my work. I've tried so many different solutions for retopology, and I HATE retopology so much, so frankly the high price tag on this addon has been worth it since it does exactly what I need it to do. Retopoflow makes it really easy and is intuitive to use. It takes a tedious chore and gives me full control over it. I wish these features were built into Blender, but since they're not, I'm so glad this addon is available, and due to the powerful features, I do think its high price tag is due to the cost of development, not greedy programmers. (I saw evidence of this in that the programmers leave notes for people using the free version on github or youtube or somewhere where they were helping people get the free version working rather than just sending to buy it!) This is such a key part of the community model of Blender, and makes me happy to know that people who can't afford it are still able to get the powerful features, which is why I wanted to actually purchase it to show my thanks. It's been one of the best purchases I've ever made for Blender, and if you ever sculpt, use external programs like Marvelous Designer, or use a lot of models other people have made (which might come with dreaded triangles...) it's essential!

  What makes it useful for me is the tools (Contours, strokes, tweak, relax, etc). But, I rather use a native blender when the matter like make face, bridge edge loops because the user interface and the hotkeys of Retopoflow feel stiff for me. Overall this tools is excellent.
