    Best and Fastest retopo tool for Blender, intuitive, and perfectly integrated with Blender Default tools.
    The fastest learning curve, just a few minutes and you will be able to retopo with ease. It actually makes the process fun.
    Amazing tool!

      Thank you, Pablo, for such a good review. Great to hear you found the learning curve to be quick and that the tool makes the challenge of retopology just a little bit more enjoyable. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, feel free to get in touch :)

    This is the best Retopology tool for Blender. Its completely integrated into native Blender tools (so no need to open separate external applications or keep switching modes) and also extremely powerful at the same time. The retopology workflow is enjoyable and fast. Congratulations on the wonderful product

    I love Quadmaker, it has been very intuitive for me to get into and has all the tools I need to do my retopology. The single thing that I don't like about it is that the Fill Quads operation is not very responsive. There's some kind of lag when I use this operation and I have to wait around 8 seconds before being able to do another operation. I will prefer to extrude edges with Auto Merge Vertices on, as it will be quicker and I will stay in the flow. Otherwise it's great.

    very usful but the hotkey ALT+LMB is not friendly for Industrial-compatible-keymap who use it to move viewport.Hope you can add an option to change it.

    Does what it says on the box, really good and a nice alternative polyquilt. Being able to change the hotkeys would be nice but I can understand why you've done it this way. Though I wish you would change 'Smooth' to the shift key since that's standard, use 's' for strength and 'f' for focus.

      Thank you for your review SW I’m glad you’re finding Quad Maker valuable.

      You should actually be able to change the main keymaps by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Keymap in Blender and searching for "Quad Maker." Expand the smooth section. You should be able to change it to the Shift key by changing the second 'Type' box entry. Let me know if you have any issues.

      However, the Shift key is often used in Blender for multi-selection and other core functions, which can limit its useability for custom hotkey assignments. For this reason the Shift key and other keys like Tab can be problematic to assign.

      For strength and focus, these are more hardcoded so I decided to follow Blender's sculpting hotkey strategy, where 'Shift-F' is used for strength adjustment, to maintain consistency across different tools. It’s always a balancing act between adhering to established standards and allowing customization, so I appreciate your understanding.

      If you have any other suggestions or questions, feel free to reach out by clicking the 'Ask a Question' button and I will see what I can do.
