This document contains details about what has changed in Retopoflow in version 4.x.

4.0.0 beta 2

New:

• Contours can now extend from the correct boundary regardless of which loop is selected
• Improved Relax performance
• Disabled Relax Face Radius and Face Angles options by default since they are not always stable
• Renamed Stroke Smoothing to Stabilize to match Blender’s term
• Added Stabilize control to Strokes
• F1 now opens documentation and F2 reports an issue

Fixed:

• Fixed crash when a conflicting add-on listens for mesh changes and frees bmesh while we’re using it
• Fixed issue with flipped normals when the retopology object’s origin is far away

4.0.0 beta 1

Retopoflow 4 is a complete rewrite of Retopoflow that massively improves performance and integrates the tools directly into Blender’s Edit Mode.

Some key changes include:

• General
  • The tools are now in the Edit Mode toolbar
  • Ctrl scroll is now used instead of Shift scroll for adjusting insert count
• Contours
  • A new Fast method was added, which can improve performance on dense meshes and work in some cases where the mesh is split
• PolyStrips
  • Proportional Editing can now be used for smoothly affecting the surrounding geometry while adjusting existing strips
  • The angle at which new strips are split to create sharp corners can now be specified
  • Strip spacing is now calculated in world space
• Strokes
  • Several new stroke shapes are now supported so drawing new geometry feels more natural
  • Extrudes can now match the curvature of the original geometry if the method is set to Adapt
  • A smoothing control has been added for naturally blending between strokes created at different angles
  • The new default insert count, Average, always creates perfectly even quads when extruding
