#  PolyStrips Help
|
|
|
|
Shortcut: {{ site.data.keymaps.polystrips_tool }}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PolyStrips tool provides quick and easy ways to map out key face loops for complex models.
|
|
For example, if you need to retopologize a human face, creature, or any other complex organic or hard-surface object.
|
|
|
|
PolyStrips works by hand drawing strokes on to the high-resolution source object.
|
|
The strokes are instantly converted into spline-based strips of polygons.
|
|
|
|
Any continuous quad strip may be manipulated with PolyStrips via the auto-generated spline handles.
