Indeed it’s really extended ^^

Great job mkbreuer :wink:

I think, we have two identical addons, with this one and iceking+retopo tab.

The way iceking’s tool add new mesh by pressing setup retopo is great, the add of bsurface on my retopo tool too.
Surface constrain has a good UI and tools.

So maybe we can merge all of this and make one unique addon for retopo, the best we can ?
What do you think guys ?

Please do.

I’m not as good as I would like :frowning:

Extend-Version with Bsurface
> for Bsurface you have to enable the trunk addon in the user preferences

…for the trunk, i think it need a prof with some time…
…thx you Umdee for this fantastic layout…

@mkbreuer Your integration of all previous addons looks great and consistent but my console still reports back some problems found. I’m using an official build of Blender 2.72a on Windows 8.1.


As a minor update, I’ve made the addon backwards compatible. So, those of you who have yet to upgrade to 2.72 can now use it.

@pitiwazou
I agree that allowing the mirror modifier to remain enabled while using the Mesh Brush would be a useful addition. I have a couple ideas about how that may be possible, but it will some time before I have the opportunity to implement those changes.

@mkbreuer
I’m glad you appreciate my layout. That’s an impressive set of tools you’ve assembled.

it was a little bit quick and dirty - sorry for that!
with the new MetaTool i use a smaller & cleaner version

thx umdee for sharing!

Thanks Umdee! This is very useful! In my case I needed the “constraint to edge” from 3ds. It helps me alot to simulate that.

I’ll give it a try to the extended version, Mkbreuer.

Mkbreuer.

In french

You can add the retopo Mt in the workflow of course !

Hy there!

I made a new small extended updated version with different addons in 2.72.
Bsurface be included, but need the original addon activated in the user preferences to complete the panel. Looptools must be also activated for the Holemaker under Edit (Editmode).
