Retopo Planes 1.5 Update – New Features

After a couple months of intense dev I can finally share newest update to Retopo Planes. New section 'Planes Assist’ with features like Initialize Planes, Auto Fill & Output Generated Planes makes process of retopology even more intuitive and effortless.

Full list of changes:

  • New feature – Planes Assist with Initialize Planes, Auto Fill & Output Generated Planes options for automated planes and cuts generation. 
  • New feature – Separate Patterns in Subdiv & Reproject will split final retopo into separate mesh islands by patterns.
  • New UI Debug – Mismatch Lines – for easier navigation around the retopo.
  • New debug material color modes (Patterns, Parts, Retopo Planes, None).
  • New debug to indicate if 'Simplify’ is turned on in 3DtoPatterns.
  • Scale GUI and Offset 3D Cloth (previously Slide Cloth) moved to the top to be more easily accessible.
  • Auto Density debug „Add more cuts” is gone since now Auto Density will work in every scenario.
  • Snapping will no longer merge vertices of planes together. Now Snapping (controlled by Snapping Distance) will only snap vertices to border of patterns. This should make this tool more stable – limiting the incidence of exploding mesh.
  • Upgraded look of modifier thanks to panels in new geometry nodes.
  • Fixed issue where single-face planes would influence density of edges on other planes.
  • Fixed issue where circular polyloop density would be influenced by overall density of rest of the retopo.

Manual got updated.
