KinematicLab has revealed TopoLogiK, a new retopology tool for 3DS Max that brings a “more procedural, parametric and efficient approach”. The website presents a huge list of features, many of which are similar to the ones from tools like Blender and Topogun. Let’s check out its possibilities.
Features:
- Stripes
- Paint Stripe.
- Move Bezier knots.
- Change bezier Knots count while keeping the curve.
- Change Stripe subdivs.
- Taper Ends.
- Snap on other edges.
- Auto adapt width.
- Edit custom Edge ring like a Stripe.
- Brush Radius.
- Surface
- Paint Surface.
- Move Bezier knots.
- Change bezier Knots count while keeping the curves.
- Change Surface width and height subdivs.
- Continue surface after surface.
- Can extend an Edge selection.
- Brush Radius.
- Create Face
- Create new face from nothing, edge, vertex or corner.
- Auto snap/weld to the closest vertex or edge.
- Select and extend edge loop.
- Move vertex.
- Delete Face.
- Branch
- Paint Branches.
- Move end points.
- Change width and height subdivs.
- Twist and rotate.
- Continue branch after branch.
- Extend open branches.
- Bridge
- Select start and end edge loop.
- Change bridge subdivs.
- Cap
- Cap hole.
- Rotate the Cap mesh to find the perfect orientation.
- Change the Cap subdivs with all possible cases.
