Delta Quad is the successor of Beta Quad.

It is a simple topology tool for slicing a big Ngon face into smaller quads.

(Note : it cannot do "retopology" for sculpted meshes (high density) to low quad surface)

Features

• Slice selected ngon faces to quads
• Two modes for quads flow arrangement
• Handling low quads count (better than Beta Quad)
• Progressive quad convertion
  (select few faces, use Delta Quad, then repeat for nearby faces. It works better than Beta Quad)
• Works on all CPU and platforms

The Idea

The idea of making Beta Quad and this Delta Quad is that :

1. Cross platform: I want to use pure Python to make it. So it will ensure that it works on all OS and CPU, eg : intel, ARM, Apple M1. If you can run Blender, you can run my quad tool.

2. Keep 100% shape: Many retopology tools "cover" the mesh with quads of constant size, they cover the small details or features. I want a quad tool that use the original faces and edges.

3. Partial Quad conversion : This is the biggest one. I want to select "One face" , and convert it to quad. Leave the other nearby face "Unchanged". Then I can do it for another face. I want to control the workflow 100% on my hand, step by step. Although there are many retopology tools out there, they focus on "replace your whole mesh will a smooth curvature solid".

Usage

Go to Blender Edit mode, switch to Face mode,

Select the faces,

Right Click in the 3D view port, then select Delta Quad at the bottom of the pop up Context Menu of blender.

Update

Version 1.0.2, 1.0.3

• Improved the quad result quality, and fixed a bug for boundary quads

Version 1.0.1

• Fixed a minor bug that may cause freezing. Added the default option to remove double vertices before quad process.
  

I worked on this tool after publishing Beta Quad : )
It has been 3 years and I did many experiments for different algorithm and design.
And I finally come up this tool. Hope that you like it !
