Stands out in the superhive library because it combines several interpolation-based reshaping operators with a customizable mesh-optimization tool in a single add-on.
Resample Mesh is a Blender add-on built around interpolation-based geometry editing. Its Resample operator modifies geometry by interpolation to create smoother transitions or reduce the number of polygons, and it offers three interpolation types: Akima, CatmullRom, and Polynomial.
Beyond resampling, the add-on includes several dedicated operators. Smooth cleans up a selected mesh with Uniform or Distance modes, while Unknot redistributes geometry over a selected spline. Distribute evenly spaces vertices along a curve, aligning them to the curve's shape and length. Connect creates edges between corresponding vertices in selected loop sequences, and Circularize arranges vertices into a circular arc using the first and last points as the chord.
The Optimize Mesh operator dissolves edges that don't affect the silhouette, zero-length edges, zero-area faces, and vertices with no connected faces. It's highly customizable, which suits destructive workflows such as retopology or final mesh cleanup. Note that closed edge loops aren't currently supported.
Resample Mesh is best for blender modelers reshaping geometry through interpolation, smoothing and connecting mesh loops, and optimizing geometry for retopology or final cleanup.
Resample Mesh is completely free to download and use.
Resample Mesh added support for Blender 5.1 in version 1.1.9, and earlier updates brought compatibility with Blender 4.1 (v1.0.6) and Vulkan (v1.0.10). If you're updating from an older release, the developer recommends uninstalling the current add-on before installing the new one and restarting Blender. For the full range of supported Blender versions and any additional requirements, check the developer's page on superhive.
Resample Mesh does not currently support closed edge loops, so a cylinder can't be resampled directly. The developer suggests combining the Resample and Circularize operators instead, which gives the most accurate results but requires specifying the angle for the arc sector, for example 90 degrees for a quarter-circle. This method lets you work with cylindrical geometry despite the closed-loop limitation.
Resample Mesh offers three interpolation types for its Resample operator: Akima, CatmullRom, and Polynomial. The same three types are also available in the Unknot operator, which redistributes geometry over a selected spline. In version 1.0.6 the Polynomial spline was reworked, replacing chordal, centripetal, and adaptive parameterization with a single tension parameter. A later update improved interpolation accuracy so that new vertices pass exactly through the old ones.
Resample Mesh is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page on superhive for the current details before downloading. The add-on is published by AV and is currently at version 1.1.9. A demo video is available if you want to see more before installing, and the developer's documentation covers the full set of operators.
