About Quad Maker

Quad Maker is a manual retopology add‑on for Blender 4.2 and later, created by Mark Kingsnorth. The plug‑in offers a hotkey‑driven workspace that integrates with Blender’s native mesh editing, delivering operations such as adding point vertices, filling quads, extending borders, quick loop cuts, drawing quad strips, smoothing vertices, and a delete mode that can dissolve interior edges. Designed for simplicity and speed, it targets modelers who need a lightweight tool without the complexity of larger retopology suites. The developer recommends avoiding use on very high‑poly meshes or extremely busy scenes to maintain performance. Documentation and a getting‑started video are provided, and users can contact the developer for support.

Features

• Add Vertices: quickly add point vertices
• Fill Quads: fill point vertices and surrounding geometry with quads
• Extend Borders: extrude border edges and vertices in single, loop, or edge rings
• Quick Cut: loop cut and slide with single clicks
• Draw Quad Strip: draw strips of quads on a target surface
• Smooth Vertices: smooth out vertices in edit mode
• Delete Mode: delete vertices, edges, and faces and dissolve interior edges in a single click/drag operation

Best for

3D modelers performing manual retopology in Blender who prefer a streamlined, fast‑learning tool focused on quad‑based geometry.
