VertiCurve earns its place in the superhive library for bringing a Bézier curve workflow to soft surface retopology, letting you guide vertices along a path rather than nudging them individually.
VertiCurve, developed by Inlet, applies the flexibility of Bézier curves to soft surface retopology in Blender. Rather than counting subdivisions and shifting vertices one at a time, you create a Bézier curve, align it to guide your vertices, and fine-tune them with a single click.
The workflow centers on that curve-driven approach: lay down a path, use it to steer the underlying vertices, and refine the topology from there. The plugin is aimed at organic and soft surface work. Documentation is included to help you get started.
VertiCurve runs across a range of Blender releases, from version 2.83 through 5.0, and is distributed under the GPL license. It is listed in the superhive library, and a demo video is available.
Verti-Curve: Vertex To Bezier Pathing is best for blender artists working on soft surface and organic retopology who want a curve-driven way to guide and refine vertices.
Verti-Curve: Vertex To Bezier Pathing is completely free to download and use.
VertiCurve is listed as compatible with a broad span of Blender releases, from version 2.83 all the way through 5.0. That range covers older long-term builds as well as current versions, so most Blender users can add it to their setup without hunting for a specific release. Since compatibility can shift as Blender evolves, it is worth confirming the current supported range on the developer's page before installing, especially if you are on a very new or very old build.
VertiCurve is distributed under the GPL license, the same open license that Blender itself uses. In practice that means the plugin aligns with how most Blender add-ons are shared, and its source is available under the terms of the GPL. If you plan to modify or redistribute it, review the full GPL terms and any notes on the developer's page so you understand your rights and obligations under that license before doing so.
VertiCurve is listed here as free, so you can add it to your Blender toolkit without a purchase through this catalog. Pricing and licensing on marketplaces can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. It is released under the GPL license, which governs how you can use, modify, and share the add-on regardless of what you pay to obtain it.
VertiCurve fits into retopology by letting you work with Bézier curves instead of adjusting vertices one at a time. The workflow is to create a Bézier curve, align it so it guides your vertices, and then fine-tune them with a single click. It is aimed at soft surface and organic retopology. Documentation is included to walk through the steps, and a demo video is available.
