First Look at RetopoFlow 4 Alpha

[fabbrobbaf]

I want to cry! Finally RF is getting into Blender viewport. This is amazing!!! Thanks guys!

[dougstevens]

Even with just the poly pen working, it's so much more functional than trying to do retopology with just the Blender tools. Excited for contours, relax and tweak to be added back in.

Incredibly exciting! I have the alpha version of Retopo Flow 4 and the polypen alone is mind-blowing. The speed that I can retopo is insane. I can't wait for the full version!

[MonsterJuiced]

Thiiiis is incredible thank you for making this into a more seamless workflow

[jony]

When is the final versio coming out? This looks so much better, specially when it has all the other tools

[Sanchez]

Thank you, this addon was already a game-changer for me. But so happy to see it being updated

[ahmadp]

I stopped using RF for the performance issues, now that its part of the native viewport, I hope it overcomes that problem

[franciscoviloria]

This is looking amazing! I guess the performance issues will disappear... congrats to the team!

OHHHH THAT SHARK IS SO MEMORABLE TO ME MY FIRST SCULPT

[Tinfoil.Hatter]

Thanks Am i listening to Jonathan Lampell?

[MerdaLegal]

Looking very similar to Polyquilt, that is great :D

[akramdesigns]

Nice update, can we have that automatic snaping and merge optional in the addon pref section, to have a full control

[dasparadoxon]

wow I only used the 4.0 alpha but even just the polypen tool is so freaking amazing.

[Alphawolfinify]

Oh the mirroring doesn't work in the alpha version yet 😮

[othoapproto]

when will retopo be a brush like dyno in sculpt? Just paint a mesh at whatever res you want.

Retopoflow enjoyer here since v2.

One big feature that I would love to see is a way to relax selected vertex with a click of a button instead of using relax brush (the current relax brush only relax the area in touch and the logic of relax is limited to the brush size area).
Possibly a relax function that try to quadrify the faces without shrinking pointy edges.

At the moment I move the vertex on certain area to retain the shape, pin those vertex and relax all the other vertex around them with the relax brush, but this workflow is tedious and also not precise because of the limitation on the relax brush.

This is all I want from the next retopoflow really... (a similar feature already exist in 3DCoat but switching program just to relax a mesh is silly)

While the tool is impressive, a more in-depth video on the logic and principles behind retopology is needed! so I can use your tool
Understanding the "why" behind the techniques is crucial for effective use of the tool.
A dedicated course on retopology fundamentals would be highly beneficial.

[TheBlackBaku]

This all looks really good! Will the version 4 update be included in the addon that can be purchased on blender market? I hesitate to invest "so much" in a plugging without knowing if it will evolve with blender over time

[ednardoguimaraes]

I love retopoflow is the Best addom for retopology

[HarvestHillGames]

i want to cry too, finally, legend. i hate having to use maya just for retopology.
