Blender - Retopo Planes v1.5

Retopo Planes is a Blender add-on for clothing retopology using guided plane patterns. It enables non-destructive workflows that preserve surface detail, generate clean topology, and maintain UVs, making it suitable for sculpting, baking, and texturing tasks.

Key features:

• Plane-Based Retopology: Guides topology creation using editable plane patterns.
• Automatic Density Adjustment: Dynamically adapts polygon density across connected pieces.
• UV-Based Flow: Generates topology based on existing UVs from the source garment.
• Subdivision & UV Retention: Preserves detail through support for subdivided surfaces and clean UV layout.
• Edge-Based Guidance: Supports edge crease and edge sharp attributes to influence topology flow.
• Auto Fill: Automatically inserts cuts across all linked pattern planes.
• Symmetry Support: Enables mirrored editing for symmetrical garments.
• Snap Tools: Provides snapping for accurate pattern placement.
• Pattern Relaxation: Smooths the retopologized mesh for cleaner results.
• 3D to 2D Pattern Conversion: Converts 3D garments into flat patterns and back.
• Bevel-Based Seam Selection: Uses edge bevel weights to define seam lines.
• UV Tile Fitting: Automatically aligns UVs to the first tile for better texture layout.
• Initialize Planes Tool: Quickly sets up starting planes for guided retopology.
• Dart Support: Handles complex pattern shapes, including darts and folds.
• Efficient Processing: Functions independently of the source garment’s polygon count.
