This guy casually dropping the most important retopology tool tor MD ever. Absolut legend!

This is so great! What a tool.

Before I understood anything about topology I bought some clothes off artstation only to quickly find they were totally useless without Marvelous Designer. I’ve tried every method of retopologizing them but most can’t be, even with the shape key method. I’m really tempted to give this a try! Hardly anyone offers retopologized clothes so this would be a godsend.

This looks absolutely incredible. I am buying it now. I am an addon developer as well, and I know this must have been an insane amount of work. Well done.

Life does not get better than this. Super!!

Oh man, I would neveer thought something that amazing good stuff can appear in my life. Thank you

I was trying different addons for MD mesh retop in Blender. On my opinion this one is more user friendly and he is definitely doing job very well! LP mesh comes out after retop with planes precisely merged where it necessary! Great stuff!!!

An amazing tool! A must have!

Really great addon !

Koksem jesteś! W końcu nie trzeba będzie specjalnie odpalać Majki, żeby zrobić retopo Cloth-u🔥

Zajebiste :D Właśnie uczyniłeś moje życie łatwiejszym :D

this so good. , i hope to see another addon for general retopology

so manual retopo is fading out

fantastic!

Amazing, Thank you very much

oh god.. this tools is super cool

Oh hell yes. My previous workflow was GOZ bridge to Zbrush for retopo work; but this is very nice. I like how it feels like a more realised version of MD's own retopo tool. Time to try this on a complex pair of techwear pants.

How did the complex tech wear pants do? Really curious, add on looks insane good

😮 looks amazing! I currently work in the garment industry with clo3D. Does this support bindings? Also an issue when using clo3D and blender is the obj has overlapping uvs coming out from clo3D not like your example. I know marvelous and clo3D are almost the same apps. How would you approach retopo work in these cases?

How well does this work on clothes with hard surfaces?

It's possible to generate a flat mesh based on UVs with geometry nodes, there's a tutorial from default cube that shows that. I'm wondering here if this addon could be used with 3d scanned meshes that have flatend meshes based on UVs

That's a seriously life-altering addon there ! Dumb question: is there any prerequisite to have the mesh separate into flat bits (UV's and all that) or the addon does everything on its own ?

Hi! You just need to double check if uv islands are not overlapping eachother and you need to make sure correct UVname is typed into modifier, rest is automatic. In this vid there's chapter "uv setup" where you can see how it's working: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWaM282LnLDdo7A.html

@@beltmaker Gotcha ! Thanks for the explanation :) I'll watch the vid ASAP

Would this addon work for clothes that don't fit your premade patterns? Could I make a setup to use this with pants, for example? Or create other, different pattern setups?

Hello! First, amazing plugin! I just wanted to double check, MD would be necessary for the 3D to pattern part to work yes? So a use case where you make the clothes in other ways would not be ideal? For example, if it is made in zbrush.

Hi, thanks! Well yeah you need a mesh with proper uvs to do retopo. That's how it works, so not sure what is your workflow in Zbrush, but yeah it's mainly meant for garments from Marvelous

what are the best export options in MD for using this the smoothest?

@beltmaker

2 ай бұрын

Hi! I recommend exporting using OBJ selected with settings "thin", "welded" and scale set to 0.1% so in Blender it will be the right size, you'll only need to apply rotation in Blender.

Hey! Purchased it today! Amazing tool but I'm having some issues, every time I apply the 3DtoPatterns to my cloth gets super small, applying the transform only make it lay on the floor but don't solve the scale issue, this is making the snapping function imposible to use. Please let me know if you have an idea of what's happening here

Hi! Sorry I missed your comment somehow, hope you already figured it out. You need to apply scale to the object most probably it has some scale like 0,01 even though in viewport looks normal size. Other than that it could be size of UVs but I doubt it. Hope this helps or that help wasn't needed by this time;)

hellow! bought addon recently, but i dont see any red dots on verices and vertices doesnt snap to garment corners :O do you know what could be an issue? im on blender 4.1.1

Hi... Im using and LOVING IT!! is it possible to prepare some sort of template files? where the user would be able to store basic topology and recall it/append to a new file that has similar garment layout?

@beltmaker

2 ай бұрын

That's a nice idea, haven't thought about it. However I'm not so sure about it since every artist has probably quiet unique ways of working with patterns and UVs. However you can always make such topology library just storing those planes as assets. Blender is great with asset library functionality. Glad you like Retopo Planes!!!

Sounds like perhaps you didn’t pick source cloth patterns in retopo planes modifier. Also make sure you’re using Blender 4.0 or higher and also you need to be in material preview to see UI colors.

@@beltmaker the source part I did, I get the square that says “faces:0” but not the black dots at the corners that turned red/green as you adjusted. but I am using blender 3.6 so maybe that’s the problem, thank you for the quick response will update if problem persist.

I am curious on how far this can be used outside of just clothing. Will this also work on human/creature meshes to get a good topology? Is the main factor the UV layout?

Hi, I noticed a problem with this after purchase. Your asset files, do not respect an imported assets measurements of its own scale. When I apply the 3DtoPatterns node, it scales my mesh pattern incredibly small, when I am working with inches. Because of this, the actual mesh referenced. Is much greater in scale, while the 3d pattern that is flattened is scaled down to mm in size. Making it hard to select in the scene. Even if I apply all transforms before hand, it does not respect the actual meshes scale. If you could patch fix this, it would be greatly appreciated!

*What about adding edge loops to the neck line, shoulder line, arm/sleeve line, side line (up to the arm pit)?* I am thinking about purchasing this but the topology you have in your demo will not work well when split into parts and subdivided because of the lack of those loops. Also good to have those for animations etc.

@beltmaker

With this tool, you can achieve any topology you’d like, I was speeding with the retopo here, also wanted to keep it simple for the length of the vid sake. So yes absolutely those loops you mention are achievable.
