    This add-on is more stable and simpler than RetopoFlow.
    While I believe RetopoFlow is a good tool, I prefer Quad Maker.
    Quad Maker allows for intuitive use, and I've never experienced a CTD while using it.
    Although Quad Maker hasn't sold very well, I consider it the best retopology add-on as of 2025.

      Thanks so much aaa — really appreciate that! Great to hear it’s been stable and intuitive for you. That kind of feedback means a lot, especially with a tool like this.

    Quad Maker is a real time-saver and a good value for money. I like how you can quickly switch between modes with hotkeys. It's pretty close to Modo's Topology Pen which I loved.

    I hope Mark adds a contour draw tool in the future for retopologizing cylindrical shapes (fingers, etc.)

    Also, a couple of snap settings are currently missing from Quad Maker's Retopology Settings menu - Backface Culling and Snap to Same Target. These settings help keep the retopo mesh from snapping through the underlying mesh. They can be found in Blender's snap settings, but it would be nice to have in the add-on's settings. Keep up the good work!

      Thanks a lot Cindy—really appreciate the detailed feedback! Great to hear it's speeding things up for you, and I’ll definitely keep those feature suggestions in mind as I continue to develop it.

    You are selling your self short by recommending people look at other retopo tools first. Having struggled with retopoflow and some others, usually I resort to pushing the model to 3D-coat and retopologizing the model there but this addon hits the notes that I love about 3D-coat's retopo tools without switching programs. I really like it and have been using it most of the night for a new character.

    About the only things I could suggest would be

    "The tooltips on the bottom bar don't update when I change the bindings in the plugin settings"

    "I would love to see a knife tool added to it because that's the only other tool I find my self switching off of this lovely little multitool for."

    "Maybe a smudge/smear brush for topology to go with the smooth brush. that might help quickly adjusting large sections smoothly"

    Other than that I love it. It's a minimalist tool that doesn't make me research how every function works, nor does it force me to learn an entirely separate interface. It's extremely performant for "Some reason" not sure why but it lags much less than retopoflow.

      Thanks for the great review Jinsaria! I'm really glad you're finding the add-on useful, especially as an alternative to other software.

      In response to your suggestions: (1) The tooltips not updating with custom bindings should be fixable—I’ll look into that. (2) The knife tool should be still available available by pressing K, but if you were thinking of something different, feel free to message me via the Contact Creator link. (3) A smudge/smear brush for topology could be tricky, but I’ll explore the idea.

      Also, I appreciate the performance praise: Blender’s Python is single-threaded, so it takes a lot of optimization tricks to keep things running smoothly.

      Thanks again, and happy retopologizing...

    easily 10/10, best plugin i’ve ever bought! quad maker is super efficient and reminds me a lot of maya. having that maya-like workflow in blender feels like heaven. it’s straightforward, basic in the best way, and handles everything you need with precision. highly recommend for anyone serious about clean topology and modeling—worth every penny.

      Thank you so much for such a praiseworthy review, as I continue to add new features and improvements I will keep aiming to keep it simple so that it maintains that smooth workflow.

    Very stable, easy to use, well made and documented.
    I hope that a patch tool will come up in the future.

      Hello Saunier do send me a message if you'd like to still talk through what would be a useful patch tool and I will see what I can do - thanks for the great review as well :)

    You can tell this was developed with workflow and quality of life in mind, the addon is exactly as the developer says: fast and simple. I find that the focused feature set encourages a more elegant, straightforward approach to retopology.

      Thank you very much Michael for taking the time to make such a kind review - yes I decided to focus on simplicity verses anything too complicated, which took some time to get right! All the best as I continue to improve the add-on.

      Wow, I could not have asked for a better review, your praise is very humbling...I wanted to make something as integrated with Blender as possible so its great to hear that feedback. I'll do my best to keep improving the add-on whilst still keeping it as integrated as possible. All the very best to you :) Mark

    I’ve tried multiple retopology addons, and I can’t believe how user-friendly this one is compared to others! I only had to watch the tutorials once to feel like I’d been using it for a long time

    • Mark Kingsnorth

      That's so good to hear Gokhan I am glad the video tutorials helped, I tried to keep them as clear as I could but do reach out if you have any issues by clicking the 'Ask a Question' button on the right hand side of the page. All the best, Mark
