Why we like it

Retopo_MAT earns its place in the Superhive library for keeping retopology inside a familiar Blender interface, with no new shortcuts to pick up.

What is Retopo_Mat?

Retopo_MAT is a retopology tool for Blender aimed at building clean topology and cleaning up meshes. It integrates with Blender, and its interface is kept to what you need, so there's no new way of working or set of shortcuts to learn.

Display customization lets you work on multiple objects at once and adjust how the reference or retopo material is displayed, including wire thickness and vertex size. The mesh projection technique projects meshes onto any surface, while mesh modifications let you adjust a mesh's position and thickness in real time. It also includes low poly visualization and a turntable.

Retopo_MAT works with Blender 2.83 through 3.0 and supports the Cycles, Eevee and Freestyle render engines under a GPL license. Free updates have added a faster Quick Shrinkwrap as a modal operator and a Quick Mirror modifier. A tutorial and a demo video are available.

Who is Retopo_Mat best for?

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Retopo_MAT support?

Retopo_MAT lists compatibility with Blender 3.0, 2.93, 2.92, 2.91, 2.9 and 2.83, covering a span of releases up through the 3.0 line. It's built to feel integrated with Blender, using its existing way of working rather than introducing a separate set of shortcuts. Alongside version support, the tool notes the Cycles, Eevee and Freestyle render engines. If you're on a Blender release newer than 3.0, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before relying on it in a project.

Does Retopo_MAT work with Cycles and Eevee?

Retopo_MAT lists the Cycles, Eevee and Freestyle render engines. Its display customization lets you work on multiple objects at once and adjust how the reference or retopo material appears, including wire thickness and vertex size. The tool is described as well integrated with Blender, using its existing way of working rather than a separate set of shortcuts. For details on the render engines and how the tool fits your workflow, the developer's page and the available tutorial are the best places to look.

Is Retopo_MAT free to download?

Retopo_MAT is listed as free in this catalog, though licensing terms can change over time. The tool is distributed under a GPL license, and the developer has said to expect free updates, two of which have already added a faster Quick Shrinkwrap modal operator and a Quick Mirror modifier. For the current terms and to grab the latest version, check Luwizart's page directly rather than assuming the details here are final.

What did the latest Retopo_MAT updates add?

Retopo_MAT has received free updates that build on its retopology toolset. Version 1.5.2 made the Quick Shrinkwrap faster and turned it into a modal operator, and version 1.5.3 added a Quick Mirror modifier. These sit alongside the core features like mesh projection onto any surface and real-time mesh modifications for position and thickness. The developer notes more free updates are expected, so checking their page will show whether anything has been added since.
