|

|

<p><img src="/v4/images/contours.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Contours tool gives you a quick and easy way to retopologize cylindrical forms.
|
||||
For example, it’s ideal for organic forms such as arms, fingers, legs, tentacles, tails, horns, etc.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="inserting">Inserting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The tool works by drawing strokes perpendicular to the form to create loops that define the contour of the shape.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hold <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LMB Drag</code> across the source geometry to cretate a new cut. The source geometry under the center of the stroke is what gets evaluated. You may draw strokes in any order, from any direction.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>If there is no retopology geometry selected or under the stroke, a new loop will be created.</li>
|
||||
<li>If the stroke is over existing geometry, a new cut will be inserted similar to a loop cut.</li>
|
||||
<li>If there is a loop selected, a new loop will be created and connected to the selection if possible.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After you create a new loop but before that loop is connected to any other geometry (including another loop), you can adjust the number of vertices in the loop by scrolling with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl Mouse Wheel</code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="settings">Settings</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Count</strong> is the number of vertices that will be created when adding a new loop that is not connected to any geometry. When extruding or cutting existing geometry, the new loop will have the same number of vertices as the adjacent loops.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Method</strong> is how Contours calculates the shape of the source mesh in order to create a new loop around it.</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><strong>Walk</strong> calculates the faces under the stroke one by one until it complets a loop, ensuring that the shape is fully preserved. This can be slow on extremely dense meshes, and does not work on non-manifold geometry, but is still quite fast and gives the best results in the vast majority of cases. It works great for complex shapes like fingers, where screen-space or raycasting algorithms tend to fail.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><strong>Fast</strong> and <strong>Skip</strong> are experimental options that can improve speed, but are currently not always accurate or stable. They are still in development and not guarenteed to work.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="selecting">Selecting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The default selection mode for Contours is Vertex + Edge because it is helpful to be able to quickly select edges and loops while also clearly seeing the number and position of the newly creted vertices.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="transforming">Transforming</h2>
|

#  Contours
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Contours tool gives you a quick and easy way to retopologize cylindrical forms.
|
||||
For example, it's ideal for organic forms such as arms, fingers, legs, tentacles, tails, horns, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inserting
|
||||
|
||||
The tool works by drawing strokes perpendicular to the form to create loops that define the contour of the shape.
|
||||
|
||||
Hold `Ctrl` and `LMB Drag` across the source geometry to cretate a new cut. The source geometry under the center of the stroke is what gets evaluated. You may draw strokes in any order, from any direction.
|
||||
|
||||
- If there is no retopology geometry selected or under the stroke, a new loop will be created.
|
||||
- If the stroke is over existing geometry, a new cut will be inserted similar to a loop cut.
|
||||
- If there is a loop selected, a new loop will be created and connected to the selection if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
After you create a new loop but before that loop is connected to any other geometry (including another loop), you can adjust the number of vertices in the loop by scrolling with `Ctrl Mouse Wheel`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Count** is the number of vertices that will be created when adding a new loop that is not connected to any geometry. When extruding or cutting existing geometry, the new loop will have the same number of vertices as the adjacent loops.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method** is how Contours calculates the shape of the source mesh in order to create a new loop around it.
|
||||
- **Walk** calculates the faces under the stroke one by one until it complets a loop, ensuring that the shape is fully preserved. This can be slow on extremely dense meshes, and does not work on non-manifold geometry, but is still quite fast and gives the best results in the vast majority of cases. It works great for complex shapes like fingers, where screen-space or raycasting algorithms tend to fail.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fast** and **Skip** are experimental options that can improve speed, but are currently not always accurate or stable. They are still in development and not guarenteed to work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Selecting
|
||||
|
||||
The default selection mode for Contours is Vertex + Edge because it is helpful to be able to quickly select edges and loops while also clearly seeing the number and position of the newly creted vertices.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
You can quickly slide loops around by simply clicking and dragging on an edge. [Not working yet in version 4]
|
||||
|
||||
To rotate or twist a loop around the surface of the source, use the hotkey `Alt R`. [Not working yet in version 4]

# Retopoflow FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
Below are answers to some common questions about Retopoflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where is the Retopoflow menu?
|
||||
|
||||
There is no longer a separate mode in Retopoflow 4, so there is no need for a menu in the 3D View header. Instead, you can find the tools in the Edit Mode toolbar. To quickly start a new retopology session, use one of the Retopology options added to the Object Mode Add Mesh menu.
|
||||
|
||||
## I cannot create new geometry! Help!?
|
||||
|
||||
All of the tools that create new geometry do so while holding `Ctrl`. See the tools or [Retopoflow Mode](/v4/general.html) for more actions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why is my geometry below the source mesh?
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, when the source mesh contains objects that are very thin, overlap, or nearly overlap, Retopoflow will snap geometry to the inner surface.
|
||||
To fix this, use the Cleanup operation in the tool settings to push the vertices out along their normal before snapping them back to the source surface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why can't I see the mirror modifier while I'm working?
|
||||
|
||||
Blender's Retopology overlay does not currently support viewing modifiers in Edit Mode unless you turn on the On Cage option, which is represented by the triangle mesh data icon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Is there a polycount limit?
|
||||
|
||||
Retopoflow 4 can comfortably work at the high resolutions needed for modern 3D graphics. The performance varies by tool. For example, PolyPen can work perfectly smoothly on meshes as high as 50 million polygons while Contours will have a few second delay at polycounts that high since it walks every face. We are currently working on alternative algorithms for any area that can be slow, even at extreme polycounts, so that you never have to worry about that again.

<h1 id="retopoflow-mode">Retopoflow Mode</h1>
|
||||
<p>In previous versions, Retopoflow tools were only accessable in a special mode that was completely separated from the rest of Blender. Since Retopoflow 4, these tools have been integrated tightly into Edit Mode. However, switching to one of the Retopoflow tools does still enter you into a type of mode that is specifically set up for retopology.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Entering a Retopoflow tool will adjust Blender’s settings for:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The selection mode</li>
|
||||
<li>The retopology overlay</li>
|
||||
<li>Snapping</li>
|
||||
<li>Auto-merging vertices</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Switching out of a Retopoflow tool will restore all of your previous settings.</p>

||||

||||
<h2 id="terminology">Terminology</h2>

<table>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Source Object(s)</td>
|
||||
<td>:</td>
|
||||
<td>The original object(s) that you are re-creating. These meshes typically have a high polygon count with poor topology and edge flow (ex: result of Dyntopo in Sculpt Mode)</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Retopology Object</td>
|
||||
<td>:</td>
|
||||
<td>The new object that stores the retopologized surface. This mesh typically has a low polygon count with good topology and edge flow.</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Any mesh object that is visible and not the active retopolgoy object is considered a source object.
|
||||
This means that you can hide or move objects to different scenes to change which source objects will be retopologized.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can also mark objects as non-selectable in the Outliner and in Retopoflow’s Options menu (far right in the tool header) choose Exclude Non-Selectable to keep those objects visible but not acting as sources.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="selection">Selection</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Selection in Retopoflow tools follows Blender’s selection paradigm as much as possible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The main difference is when using the brush-based tools like Tweak and Relax. In those, selection cannot be done with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LMB</code> (left mouse button) because that action is already used to apply the brush. Instead, you can use other Blender hotkeys like <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Shift LMB</code> to toggle select, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">B</code> to box select, or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl RMB drag</code> to lasso select.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Also, since <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl LMB</code> is already used for creating new geometry in the other tools, Blender’s Pick Shortest Path operator is not accessable with that hotkey. However, you can still use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Shift Ctrl LMB</code> to the same effect.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The tools in Retopoflow can be used in any selection mode, but are generally more useful in some than others. For example, PolyPen expects to connect to edges and verts but not faces, so switching to PolyPen enables both edge and vert selection and disables face selection by default. All tools have a preferred selection mode that is set automatically when switching to the tool.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Tip: In Blender, you can always enable multiple selection modes by holding</em> <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Shift</code> <em>while choosing them.</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Blender’s default shortcut for loop selection is <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Alt Left Click</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Double Click</code> depending on your preferences. In Retopoflow, you can always use both!</p>

<h2 id="altered-operators">Altered Operators</h2>

</ul>

<h2 id="common-settings">Common Settings</h2>
|

|

<p>All settings for the Retopoflow tools can be found in the 3D View tool header, the sidebar in the Tool tab, or the Tool tab of the Properties Editor when the tool is active in the 3D View toolbar.</p>
|
||||
|

<p>The insert tools share the same <strong>Tweak</strong> settings for how big the selection hitbox is, whether vertices are auto-merged, and how big the auto-merge threshold is while using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LMB Drag</code> on geometry to tweak it. <em>These settings are not the same as the Tweak Brush tool settings.</em></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Brush tools have the same <strong>Brush</strong> settings, though they are not shared across the tools. That way, you can use a small Tweak brush with a large Relax brush if you prefer.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Radius</strong> controls the size of the brush and can be adjusted with the hotkey <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">F</code></li>

<li><strong>Strength</strong> controls how much the brush effects the geometry and can be adjusted with the hotkey <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Shift F</code></li>

<li><strong>Falloff</strong> controls how much the strength of the brush is feathered near the edges and can be adjusted with the hotkey <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl F</code></li>

# Retopoflow Mode
|
||||
In previous versions, Retopoflow tools were only accessable in a special mode that was completely separated from the rest of Blender. Since Retopoflow 4, these tools have been integrated tightly into Edit Mode. However, switching to one of the Retopoflow tools does still enter you into a type of mode that is specifically set up for retopology.
|
||||
|
||||
Entering a Retopoflow tool will adjust Blender's settings for:
|
||||
- The selection mode
|
||||
- The retopology overlay
|
||||
- Snapping
|
||||
- Auto-merging vertices
|
||||
|
||||
Switching out of a Retopoflow tool will restore all of your previous settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Terminology
|
||||
|
||||
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| Source Object(s) | : | The original object(s) that you are re-creating. These meshes typically have a high polygon count with poor topology and edge flow (ex: result of Dyntopo in Sculpt Mode) |
|
||||
| Retopology Object | : | The new object that stores the retopologized surface. This mesh typically has a low polygon count with good topology and edge flow. |
|
||||
|
||||
Any mesh object that is visible and not the active retopolgoy object is considered a source object.
|
||||
This means that you can hide or move objects to different scenes to change which source objects will be retopologized.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also mark objects as non-selectable in the Outliner and in Retopoflow's Options menu (far right in the tool header) choose Exclude Non-Selectable to keep those objects visible but not acting as sources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Selection in Retopoflow tools follows Blender's selection paradigm as much as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
The main difference is when using the brush-based tools like Tweak and Relax. In those, selection cannot be done with `LMB` (left mouse button) because that action is already used to apply the brush. Instead, you can use other Blender hotkeys like `Shift LMB` to toggle select, `B` to box select, or `Ctrl RMB drag` to lasso select.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, since `Ctrl LMB` is already used for creating new geometry in the other tools, Blender's Pick Shortest Path operator is not accessable with that hotkey. However, you can still use `Shift Ctrl LMB` to the same effect.
|
||||
|
||||
The tools in Retopoflow can be used in any selection mode, but are generally more useful in some than others. For example, PolyPen expects to connect to edges and verts but not faces, so switching to PolyPen enables both edge and vert selection and disables face selection by default. All tools have a preferred selection mode that is set automatically when switching to the tool.
|
||||
|
||||
*Tip: In Blender, you can always enable multiple selection modes by holding* `Shift` *while choosing them.*
|
||||
|
||||
Blender's default shortcut for loop selection is `Alt Left Click` or `Double Click` depending on your preferences. In Retopoflow, you can always use both!
|
||||
|
||||
## Altered Operators
|
||||
|
||||
Retopoflow has slightly altered versions of a few Blender operators in order to make them more useful for retopology.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Translate** (`G`) has been modified slighly to improve snapping behavior, but you should not need to think about this and can use it just like Blender's Translate.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Settings
|
||||
|
||||
All settings for the Retopoflow tools can be found in the 3D View tool header, the sidebar in the Tool tab, or the Tool tab of the Properties Editor when the tool is active in the 3D View toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
The insert tools share the same **Tweak** settings for how big the selection hitbox is, whether vertices are auto-merged, and how big the auto-merge threshold is while using `LMB Drag` on geometry to tweak it. *These settings are not the same as the Tweak Brush tool settings.*
|
||||
|
||||
Brush tools have the same **Brush** settings, though they are not shared across the tools. That way, you can use a small Tweak brush with a large Relax brush if you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Radius** controls the size of the brush and can be adjusted with the hotkey `F`
|
||||
- **Strength** controls how much the brush effects the geometry and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Shift F`
|
||||
- **Falloff** controls how much the strength of the brush is feathered near the edges and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Ctrl F`
|
||||
|
||||
## General Options
|
||||
|
||||
The far right side of the tool settings in any Retopoflow tool is the General Options dropdown. In it, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Choose to exclude non-selectable objects from being a snapping source
|
||||
- This is the same as Blender's option of the same name in the Snapping settings
|
||||
- Adjust the retopology overlay's color and depth
|
||||
- Adjust how much non-active objects are faded
|
||||
- Choose to expand or collapse the Retopoflow tools in the toolbar
|
||||
- Choose to expand or collapse the masking options in the tool header for the brush tools
|
||||
|
||||
## Switching Tools
|
||||
|
||||
You can quickly switch between Retopoflow tools and access some of their common settings by using the Retopoflow pie menu. It is currently mapped to the hotkey `W` while a Retopoflow tool is active.

To fix all of the common retopology problems at once, you can use Retopoflow's **Clean Up** operator. It can be found in the tool settings and in the pie menu (`W`) and be used on either all vertices or selected vertices only.

- Snap the mesh to the nearest source surface
|

- Merge By Distance
|

- Recalculate Normals

- Delete Loose Geometry
|
||||
- Fill Holes

If you are working on a very dense mesh and do not need all of those operations, consider turning the unnecissary ones off to speed up the operation.

## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
The Patches tool currently only handles a limited number of selected regions.
|
||||
More support coming soon!
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 connected strips in an L-shape
|
||||
- 2 parallel strips: the two strips must contain the same number of edges
|
||||
- 3 connected strips in a C-shape: first and last strips must contain the same number of edges
|
||||
- 4 strips in a rectangular loop: opposite strips must contain the same number of edges
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If no pre-visualized regions show after selection, no geometry will be created after pressing {{ site.data.keymaps.fill }}.
|
||||
|
||||
Adjust the Angle parameter to help Patches determine which connected edges should be in the same strip.
|
||||
Alternatively, you can manually toggle vertex corners using {{ site.data.keymaps.action_alt0 }}.

#  PolyPen
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The PolyPen tool provides absolute control for creating complex topology on a vertex-by-vertex basis (e.g., low-poly game models).
|
||||
This tool lets you insert vertices, extrude edges, fill faces, and transform the subsequent geometry all within one tool and in just a few clicks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inserting
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| {{ site.data.keymaps.insert }} | : | insert geometry connected to selected geometry |
|
||||
-->
|
||||
To create a new vertex using PolyPen, make sure no other retopology geometry is selected and hold `Ctrl` and `LMB` (Left Mouse Click) on the surface of the source geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
To follow this guide, keep the **Insert Method** set to **Tri / Quad** for now.
|
||||
|
||||
To create an edge, keep just that new vertex selected and `Ctrl LMB` on another part of the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a triangle, keep that edge selected or select any other edge and `Ctrl LMB` again.
|
||||
|
||||
To turn a triangle into a quad, select it and `Ctrl LMB` one more time to define the fourth corner.
|
||||
|
||||
With the **Tri / Quad** method, you can quickly and explicitly define all four corners of a quad and it is the most precise way to work.
|
||||
|
||||
However, sometimes you'll want to quickly insert quads in one click. For that, switch the **Insert Method** over to **Quad**. You could also choose **Triangle** to not automatically convert triangles into quads, **Edge** to not create any faces, or **Vertex** to only create vertices that are not connected to anything.
|
||||
|
||||
PolyPen can also be used to fill a quad between two edges. To fill in **Tri / Quad** or **Quad** mode, just select one edge, hold `Ctrl` and `LMB` on the second edge. Done! Keep in mind that you can also use Blender's `F` hotkey with any vert or face selected to create a new face with the next closest two vertices.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Cutting
|
||||
|
||||
PolyPen can also be used as a simple knife. To make a cut, hold `Ctrl` and either hover over a selected edge if there is a selection, or any edge if there is no selection. `LMB` on the edge and then `LMB` on any edge that is connected to the same face.
|
||||
|
||||
PolyPen's knife cannot currently cut through multiple edges at the same time, cannot cut in the middle of a face, and does not have alignment guides like Blender's knife. We plan to improve the knife functionalty going forward but in the meantime, for more advanced features, it is recommended to use Blender's knife with the hotkey `K` and then use Retopoflow's [Mesh Cleanup operator](mesh_cleanup.html) on the result to snap the new vertices to the surface of the source object.
|
||||
|
||||
## Selecting
|
||||
|
||||
The default selection mode for PolyPen is Vertex + Edge so that you can quickly tweak both vertices and edges. However, you can work in just Vertex mode if you find yourself accidentally selecting edges.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
A `LMB Drag` on components in PolyPen will perform a tweak action similar to Blender's Tweak tool. The tweaking settings are shared across multiple tools and can be read about on the [Retopoflow Mode](general.html) docs page under Common Settings.

#  PolyStrips
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The PolyStrips tool provides quick and easy ways to map out key face loops for complex models, as well as adjust existing strips of faces.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inserting
|
||||
|
||||
To create a strip of quads with PolyStrips, hold down `Ctrl` and `LMB Drag` on the surface of a source object.
|
||||
|
||||
The size of the quads corresponds to the size of the brush that you see when you hold down `Ctrl`. To adjust the size, use the hotkey `F`.
|
||||
|
||||
Right after you've drawn a strip, you'll be able to adjust some of its properties.
|
||||
- `Ctrl Scroll` changes the segment count
|
||||
- `Shift Scroll` changes the width
|
||||
|
||||
These options are also available in Blender's Adjust Last Operation panel, along with a **Split Angle** property that adjusts how sharp the curve needs to be in order to be considered a corner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Control Points
|
||||
|
||||
Any selected strip of quads will show control points and curve handles while you're using PolyStrips. Simply `LMB Drag` on the control points or handles to adjust the strip like a Bezier curve.
|
||||
|
||||
PolyStrips handles work great with Blender's proportional editing. If you enable that (hotkey `O`), you can easily adjust sections of existing loops that are already surrounded by geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Selecting
|
||||
|
||||
The default selection mode for PolyStrips is Face so that you can quickly select and tweak parts of strips. However, you can work in just Vertex and / or Edge select mode just as well if you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
It's helpful to remember that even though `Ctrl LMB` to select shortest path is blocked because `Ctrl` is used to create strips, you can always do the same thing with `Ctrl Shift LMB`. So to easily select a part of a strip, `LMB` to select one face and then `Ctrl Shift LMB` on another.
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
A `LMB Drag` on components in PolyPen will perform a tweak action similar to Blender's Tweak tool. The tweaking settings are shared across multiple tools and can be read about on the [Retopoflow Mode](general.html) docs page under Common Settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
It is not currently possible to adjust segment counts or other properties on existing strips, but that is on our to-do list.

# Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide will help you get started with RetopoFlow {{ site.data.options.rf_version }}.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Short, Short Version
|
||||
|
||||
To start retopologizing in Blender after installing Retopoflow:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Have an object you want to draw new topology on top of
|
||||
2. Go to Add > Mesh in Object mode
|
||||
3. Either click "Retopology at Cursor" or "Retopology at Active"
|
||||
|
||||
- "at Cursor" will create a new retopology object located at the 3D Cursor and oriented to the world.
|
||||
- "at Active" will create a new retopology object located at and oriented to the active object.
|
||||
|
||||
All of the Retopoflow tools require some other object in the scene that the new geometry can snap to. You can also create a new retopology object yourself or select an existing retopology object, enter Edit Mode on it, and switch to any of the RetopoFlow tools in the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
|
||||

#  Relax Brush
|

|
||||
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
Quick Shortcut: {{ site.data.keymaps.relax_quick }}
|
||||
-->
|
||||
|
||||
The Relax Brush tool allows you to easily and interactively smooth out vertex positions while keeping them on the surface of the source mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
To use the Relax Brush, simply `LMB Drag` on vertices. Which vertices are affected can be controlled in the **Masking** settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Brush Settings
|
||||
|
||||
- **Radius** controls the size of the brush and can be adjusted with the hotkey `F`
|
||||
- **Strength** controls how much the brush effects the geometry and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Shift F`
|
||||
- **Falloff** controls how much the strength of the brush is feathered near the edges and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Ctrl F`
|
||||
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
These options can also be stored as presets in the Brush Options panel.
|
||||
To quickly switch between presets, use the {{ site.data.keymaps.pie_menu_alt0 }} pie menu.
|
||||
-->
|
||||
|
||||
## Masking Settings
|
||||
|
||||
The Relax Brush has several options to control which vertices are moved and how.
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundary**
|
||||
- **Exclude** does not affect vertices along the mesh boundary.
|
||||
- **Slide** moves vertices along boundary but only by sliding them along the boundary loop.
|
||||
- **Include** moves all vertices under the brush including those along the boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
### Symmetry
|
||||
- **Exclude**: Do not affect vertices along the symmetry plane.
|
||||
- **Slide**: Tweak vertices along boundary but only by sliding them along the symmetry plane.
|
||||
- **Include**: Tweak all vertices under the brush including those along the symmetry plane.
|
||||
-->
|
||||
|
||||
**Selected**
|
||||
- **Exclude** moves only unselected vertices.
|
||||
- **Only** moves only selected vertices.
|
||||
- **All** moves all vertices within brush regardless of selection.
|
||||
|
||||
**Occluded**
|
||||
- **Exclude** moves only unoccluded vertices.
|
||||
- **Include** moves all vertices within brush regardless of occlusion.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Algorithm Settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Iterations** determines how many times the relax algorithm is run per update. A higher value leads to more agressive smoothing. It is recommended to try increasing the brush strength before increasing this setting.
|
||||
|
||||
**Strength** multiplies how much each iteration affects the result.
|
||||
|
||||
**Average Edge Lengths** enables adjusting the length of edges to move towards the average edge length under the brush.
|
||||
|
||||
**Average Face Radius** enables adjusting the length of edges so that each face's radius moves towards the average of all face radii under the brush.
|
||||
|
||||
**Average Face Angles** enables moving vertices so that the angle of each corner of each face moves towards the same value.
|
||||
|
||||
**Average Face Lengths** enables adjusting the length of edges to move towards the average length of all edges that share the same face. This option is still experimental and can cause faces to flip.
|
||||
|
||||
**Straighten Edges** enables moving vertices so that their edge loops straighten out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct Flipped Faces** attempts to make sure the direction of the face normals under the brush are consistent.
|
||||
|
||||
## Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Even though `LMB` to select is not available while using the Tweak Brush, you can still select and deselect by using `Shift LMB`. Box Select `B` and Lasso Select `Ctrl Right Mouse Drag` are always available as well.

|

<p>Strokes is an incredibly versetile tool for quickly sketching out patches of quads and filling holes in the topology.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="inserting">Inserting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To draw a new stroke, deselect everything, hold down <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl</code>, and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LMB Drag</code> on the surface of the source object.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To turn the previous stroke into a patch of quads, keep the newly created geometry selected and draw a new stroke. Strokes will extrude the selection to the new stroke using evenly spaced quads.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After creating a new or extruded stroke, you can scroll with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl Mouse Wheel</code> to increase or decrease the number of interpolated verts or loops.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="stroke-types">Stroke Types</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Strokes is context aware and adapts to the current selection, surrounding geometry, and shape of your stroke. The basic stroke types should feel intuitive right away, but diving into the more advanced stroke types will help you to work significantly faster.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You do not need to remember the names of the strokes while working, but they are listed here for clarity.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="edge-strip">Edge Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A basic Edge Strip is created when you draw a new stroke that is not connected to any other geometry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="equals-strip">Equals Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An Equals Strip is created when you extrude a set of selected edges by drawing a stroke that does not connect to any existing vertices. For best results, draw the stroke roughly paralell to the selected edges, or draw far enough away from them for the Smoothing setting to crete a nice blend.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="/v4/images/strokes_equals_01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can also create an Equals Strip by selecting a set of edges in a loop and drawing from a deselected vertex in that same loop to the corresponding vertex on the other side of the loop. A yellow circle will appear around the cursor while you hold <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ctrl</code> to indicate that the stroke will be snapped to a vertex.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="/v4/images/strokes_equals_02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="t-strip">T Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A T Strip is created by starting the stroke over any of the selected vertices and drawing perpendicular to the selected edges. This type of strip has a special <strong>Extrapolation</strong> option that determines whether or not the newly created geometry follows the curve of the selected geometry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_t_01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="i-strip">I Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An I Strip is created by starting a stroke from a vertex in the set of selected edges and ending the stroke on another vertex. This is most commonly used for bridging two pieces of disconnected geometry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_i_01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="l-strip">L Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An L Strip is created when you draw starting from the end of one selected set of vertices, create a corner, and end on a vertex that is connected to the original selection.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_L_01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="c-strip">C Strip</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A C Strip is created by starting a stroke from a vertex on one end of the selected edges and ending the stroke at the vertex on the other end. This allows you to explicitly define every side of the resulting patch for maximum control. The two sharpest angles in the stroke will be interpreted as the other two corners of the patch.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_c_01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="loop">Loop</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A Loop is created by drawing a stroke that ends in the same place that it starts. The yellow circle that indicates vertex snapping will be highlighted when the end of the stroke is close enough to the start to be considered a loop.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_loop.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="equals-loop">Equals Loop</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An Equals Loop is created by drawing a second loop inside or outside a selected loop.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_loop_equals.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="t-loop">T Loop</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A T Loop is created by drawing a stroke that starts at a vertex in a selected loop and moves inwards or outwards. This can also be used to bridge the loop to an outer or inner loop.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_loop_t.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="settings">Settings</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Count</strong> determines how many vertices or loops are created when inserting a stroke.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><strong>Fixed</strong> uses a set number. Setting this to zero is an interesting way of quickly drawing quads that do not need to be evenly spaced.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><strong>Brush Size</strong> uses the Strokes brush, which can be seen while drawing a stroke. Like any other brush in Blender, you can quickly change the size with the hotkey <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">F</code>. A smaller brush size will result in more dense geometry and a larger brush size will result in less dense geometry.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p><strong>Average</strong> uses the average width of the selected edges, which automatically gives you as perfectly square quads as possible. When creating a stroke with no edges selected, the brush size is used as a fallback.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Extrapolation</strong> determines whether or not the newly created geometry follows the curve of the selected geometry when creating T Strips. <strong>Flat</strong> will extrude all of the edges in a straight line while <strong>Adapt</strong> will fan out the edges to maintain the original curvature.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="images/strokes_adapt.jpg" alt="" /></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Smoothing</strong> is the factor for how much smooth blending is applied to the interpolated loops when creating Equals Strips and I Strips. A value of zero creates perfectly straight lines from the starting vertices to the ending vertices.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Spacing</strong> controls how close together the interpolated loops are near the start and end of the newly created geometry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="selecting">Selecting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The default selection mode for Contours is Vertex + Edge because it is helpful to be able to quickly select edges and loops while also clearly seeing the number and position of the newly creted vertices.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="transforming">Transforming</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LMB Drag</code> on components in Strokes will perform a tweak action similar to Blender’s Tweak tool. The tweaking settings are shared across multiple tools and can be read about on the <a href="general.html">Retopoflow Mode</a> docs page under Common Settings.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="limitations">Limitations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Strokes works in screen space and cannot create geometry past the edge of the source mesh, so drawing a stroke towards the edge of the source mesh can cause some verts to get cut off.</p>

#  Strokes
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Strokes is an incredibly versetile tool for quickly sketching out patches of quads and filling holes in the topology.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inserting
|
||||
|
||||
To draw a new stroke, deselect everything, hold down `Ctrl`, and `LMB Drag` on the surface of the source object.
|
||||
|
||||
To turn the previous stroke into a patch of quads, keep the newly created geometry selected and draw a new stroke. Strokes will extrude the selection to the new stroke using evenly spaced quads.
|
||||
|
||||
After creating a new or extruded stroke, you can scroll with `Ctrl Mouse Wheel` to increase or decrease the number of interpolated verts or loops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Stroke Types
|
||||
|
||||
Strokes is context aware and adapts to the current selection, surrounding geometry, and shape of your stroke. The basic stroke types should feel intuitive right away, but diving into the more advanced stroke types will help you to work significantly faster.
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need to remember the names of the strokes while working, but they are listed here for clarity.
|
||||
|
||||
### Edge Strip
|
||||
|
||||
A basic Edge Strip is created when you draw a new stroke that is not connected to any other geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
### Equals Strip
|
||||
|
||||
An Equals Strip is created when you extrude a set of selected edges by drawing a stroke that does not connect to any existing vertices. For best results, draw the stroke roughly paralell to the selected edges, or draw far enough away from them for the Smoothing setting to crete a nice blend.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also create an Equals Strip by selecting a set of edges in a loop and drawing from a deselected vertex in that same loop to the corresponding vertex on the other side of the loop. A yellow circle will appear around the cursor while you hold `Ctrl` to indicate that the stroke will be snapped to a vertex.

### T Strip
|
||||
|
||||
A T Strip is created by starting the stroke over any of the selected vertices and drawing perpendicular to the selected edges. This type of strip has a special **Extrapolation** option that determines whether or not the newly created geometry follows the curve of the selected geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### I Strip
|
||||
|
||||
An I Strip is created by starting a stroke from a vertex in the set of selected edges and ending the stroke on another vertex. This is most commonly used for bridging two pieces of disconnected geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### L Strip
|
||||
|
||||
An L Strip is created when you draw starting from the end of one selected set of vertices, create a corner, and end on a vertex that is connected to the original selection.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### C Strip
|
||||
|
||||
A C Strip is created by starting a stroke from a vertex on one end of the selected edges and ending the stroke at the vertex on the other end. This allows you to explicitly define every side of the resulting patch for maximum control. The two sharpest angles in the stroke will be interpreted as the other two corners of the patch.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Loop
|
||||
|
||||
A Loop is created by drawing a stroke that ends in the same place that it starts. The yellow circle that indicates vertex snapping will be highlighted when the end of the stroke is close enough to the start to be considered a loop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Equals Loop
|
||||
|
||||
An Equals Loop is created by drawing a second loop inside or outside a selected loop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### T Loop
|
||||
|
||||
A T Loop is created by drawing a stroke that starts at a vertex in a selected loop and moves inwards or outwards. This can also be used to bridge the loop to an outer or inner loop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Count** determines how many vertices or loops are created when inserting a stroke.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fixed** uses a set number. Setting this to zero is an interesting way of quickly drawing quads that do not need to be evenly spaced.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Brush Size** uses the Strokes brush, which can be seen while drawing a stroke. Like any other brush in Blender, you can quickly change the size with the hotkey `F`. A smaller brush size will result in more dense geometry and a larger brush size will result in less dense geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Average** uses the average width of the selected edges, which automatically gives you as perfectly square quads as possible. When creating a stroke with no edges selected, the brush size is used as a fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
**Extrapolation** determines whether or not the newly created geometry follows the curve of the selected geometry when creating T Strips. **Flat** will extrude all of the edges in a straight line while **Adapt** will fan out the edges to maintain the original curvature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Smoothing** is the factor for how much smooth blending is applied to the interpolated loops when creating Equals Strips and I Strips. A value of zero creates perfectly straight lines from the starting vertices to the ending vertices.
|
||||
|
||||
**Spacing** controls how close together the interpolated loops are near the start and end of the newly created geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Selecting
|
||||
|
||||
The default selection mode for Contours is Vertex + Edge because it is helpful to be able to quickly select edges and loops while also clearly seeing the number and position of the newly creted vertices.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
A `LMB Drag` on components in Strokes will perform a tweak action similar to Blender's Tweak tool. The tweaking settings are shared across multiple tools and can be read about on the [Retopoflow Mode](general.html) docs page under Common Settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
Strokes works in screen space and cannot create geometry past the edge of the source mesh, so drawing a stroke towards the edge of the source mesh can cause some verts to get cut off.

The Tweak Brush tool allows you to easily and interactively adjust vertex positions across the surface of the source mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
## Transforming
|
||||
|
||||
To use the Tweak Brush, simply `LMB Drag` on vertices. Which vertices are affected can be controlled in the **Masking** settings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Brush Settings
|
||||
|
||||
- **Radius** controls the size of the brush and can be adjusted with the hotkey `F`
|
||||
- **Strength** controls how much the brush effects the geometry and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Shift F`
|
||||
- **Falloff** controls how much the strength of the brush is feathered near the edges and can be adjusted with the hotkey `Ctrl F`
|
||||
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
These options can also be stored as presets in the Brush Options panel.
