Quadify Blender Add-on: Retopology & Poly Reduction for Optimized 3D Models
Tired of messy, triangulated meshes in Blender? Quadify is the essential add-on for 3D artists, game developers, and animators seeking clean, optimized quad-based models. Tra
Quadify Add-on for Blender
Overview
Quadify is a Blender add-on that simplifies the process of converting triangulated meshes to quads and reducing poly count for cleaner, optimized models. Perfect for preparing assets for animation, rendering, or game engines.
Features
-
Convert to Quads: Merges triangles into quads based on a face angle limit, with options to preserve UV seams and material boundaries.
-
Reduce Poly Count: Simplifies meshes while maintaining quad topology, with a user-defined reduction ratio and degenerate geometry cleanup.
-
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters like face angle limits, edge flow optimization, and poly reduction ratios.
-
Presets: Save and load settings for common workflows.
-
Real-time Feedback: Displays initial and target face counts during poly reduction.
Installation
-
Download the quadify.py file (or the zipped release).
-
In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install.
-
Select the quadify.py file (or the zip file) and click Install Add-on.
-
Enable the add-on by checking the box next to "Mesh: Quadify".
Usage
-
Open the 3D Viewport and select a mesh in Object Mode.
-
Go to the sidebar (N key) and find the "Tri to Quad" tab.
-
Use the "Convert to Quads" button to convert triangles to quads, or "Reduce Poly Count" to simplify the mesh.
-
Adjust settings as needed (e.g., Face Angle Limit, Poly Reduction Ratio).
Requirements
- Blender 4.4 or higher.
Troubleshooting
-
Blender Freezes: If the add-on freezes on large meshes (>100,000 faces), try reducing the poly count in smaller steps or disabling "Clean Degenerate Geometry".
-
No Quads Created: Increase the "Face Angle Limit" (e.g., to 45 or 60 degrees) to allow more triangles to merge into quads.
-
Manifold Error: Ensure your mesh is manifold (no non-manifold edges or zero-area faces) before using the add-on.
