Best retopology add-ons for Blender

Retopology means building a clean, low-polygon mesh over a sculpt or a scan. Blender can do it with its own tools, so the first question is whether you need an add-on at all.

FreePolyQuilt Retopology Tool

Without an add-on

For a small job, Blender's Poly Build tool, face snapping and a Shrinkwrap modifier are enough. The built-in QuadriFlow remesh gives a quick all-quad mesh when edge flow does not matter, for example on static props.

An add-on starts to pay off when you retopologize whole characters, or do it often.

Drawing new topology by hand

RetopoFlow 4

by Orange Turbine

A full set of retopology tools: Contours for tube shapes like arms and legs, PolyStrips for face loops, PolyPen for single polygons, plus strokes, patches and brushes for relaxing and tweaking. Version 4 works inside Blender's normal Edit Mode. The most complete option, and the most expensive.
