Swiss army knife tool for interactive modeling and retopology in Blender.

This is a tool that aims to make retopology work more comfortable. It gives you very quick access to fuctions like interactive tweaking, extruding, drag-create-face, merge verts, delete, collapse, cut poly and more all within one tool. All with pre-selection highlighting.


“Interactive Topo” is a continuation of my “Custom Retopology” tool, but it has been re-worked completely and a lot of effort has gone into making it as useful as possible.


When you start the “Interactive topo” operator it will bring you into “interactive modeling mode”, which you can exit by hitting “ESC”, “Q”,”Space” or “Enter”.

There is a complete Hotkey Overview within "User Preferences / Addon / Interactive Topo"
