Roadmap

Works Today

• One-click remesh in three styles, every result checked.
• Draw: guides become edge loops; patches between them.
• Update after moving a guide, density painting, Edit Mode tools.
• Technical parts with every face as its own grid.
• Windows, macOS and Linux, Blender 4.2 and later.

Next

The work planned for 1.0, in order.

• Fewer quads to touch up at thin parts such as ear rims and fingertips.
• Patches in deep folds, such as the crease between the lips.
• Big meshes in parts, automatically, when that is faster.
• A faster remesh on guided bodies.
• Straighter rows on technical parts.
• CAD parts, in two steps. In 0.8 a technical part gives the same result on every run, and the quads around a bore or boss are planned to follow the largest of the rings they share a strip with, which keeps sharp circular edges tighter at the same quad count. Then the lines of a CAD part are shown in Draw, tinted by the kind of face, where you can move them and change a face's kind, with the one-click result as the floor it never falls below; and fillets get at least two rows of quads.
• A Blender extension in place of the legacy add-on zip.

Later

Ideas to try; none is promised.

• Loops for animation (rings at the joints), placed automatically.
• Edge counts that match across parts, so a head and a body join loop to loop.
• Guides taken from a reference mesh.
• Levels of detail with the loops in the same places.
• UV seams along guides.
• Holding loops along every hard edge, in one click.
