    I love this addon, its changed the way I do retopology and ensures I can have consistent topology across all my models.
    one issue I did have was that when I was trying to wrap the mesh around a sculpt the center verts often split and start to move away from each other or they start to overlap. what I didn't realize was that it was the mirror modifier that was causing this. the mirror needs to be applied before starting softwrap. once I had that fixed it was smooth sailing and this addon became a blessing.

      yea, the mirror modifier needs to be applied, but maybe I should do something so make it support the mirror modifier out of the box.

    Amazing! v1 was already good, v2 is great, buttery smooth and very responsive, speeding up my retopology work a lot. It's even fun to use!

      Nice to hear that, I worked quite a bit on this new engine to get the smoother wrapping.

    Absolutely fully worth the money. You'll have to figure out a bit how to best work with it , but once it works it's really good. Also the developer is very helpful to aid with any problems. Hopefully one day this will work on MacOS too. Thank you!

    A very usefull tool. Be aware that is just that, a tool. It took me some tries to get it to do what I wanted from it. The deformed mesh may disbehave. I was able to solve that using the created shapekey with a vertex group and a weight map afterwards.

    With a differend mesh, in which I did a full body retopo, I used some parts of the original mesh dublicated and attached to the target to get fingers and fingernails right.

    If you don't expect magic, this plugin is awesome. Very versatile, I find it easy to use. You need to do cleanup afterwards. Still, great.

      You got it perfectly!, it's a tool that makes the job easier but doesn't do magic.

    I sure like this tool. I love the interactive quality of it, and I think its easy to use. Thanks for making my workflow a little easier.

    I was amazed at the video demonstrations to begin with.
    I went ahead and played around for 15 minutes, and I already have something usable in my day-to-day, without crashes, and smooth as can be. My mind is already blown with how useful this is going to be, I just had to immediately get back here to share a 5 star rating without hesitation.
    Congratulations! Can't wait to see what else you work on or add to this! (b'u')b

    Very good add-on.
    I much prefer SoftWrap to Zwrap.

    One of the best tools I've ever used in Blender! Easy and practical to use, the process is quick and easy, very useful and very varied.
    The support is also excellent! I had some minor problems the first time I got it to use, and the same day Jean already fixed a minor bug in the tool and sent me the updated and fully functional version.
    If you already have some models that have gone through the retopology process and want to reuse them, surely I recommend the tool, it is a must for artists who work with a large volume of objects and is very useful for those who want to reuse models for games or animations.

    For retopology, this tool is ABSOLUTELY BAD ASS. I'm using it to retopo clothing by creating mesh parts using the curves-to-mesh addon. From there I pin the pieces and drag sections into place. I thought this would be hard to learn and take a bit of time but as it turns out, it's very intuitive. The very first 4 minute intro video is all you need and you know the tool. So far I am pleased with the stability of the addon as well (it didn't crash even when I accidentally simulated the high-poly 200k part of the model).
    This tool looks very promising and I can't want to see what ingenuity lies in the future updates for it.

      Thanks for your review. And nice idea, I also can't wait to see what people do with it.
