Draw Clean Quad Topology Directly Over Your Model In Blender

Amber RutherfordSenior Editor21 September 2026

TopoPen takes care of surface placement, snapping, vertex counts, symmetry, and grid creation.

TopoPen makes it easy to draw clean topology directly over your model, right inside Blender's normal Edit Mode. It works for both organic and hard-surface retopology, including characters, faces, creatures, limbs, props, and other detailed models.

With the Draw tool, you can sketch lines directly over the model to plan your topology. Connected lines can automatically create quad grids, and you can control the topology density by adjusting the quad size. Precise Draw tool that lets you place vertices and edges exactly where you want. With Manual Draw, you can draw connected boundary lines and create topology between them.

Along with Draw, Precise Draw, and Manual Draw, TopoPen also includes tools like Edge Flow for quickly continuing topology from an existing edge or row of vertices, Circle Loop for creating loops around eyes, mouths, fingers, pipes, and other rounded shapes, and Surface Cut for cutting the retopology mesh with controls similar to Blender's Knife tool.

You can also use Move to reposition multiple vertices across the source surface without changing the topology, or Relax to improve vertex spacing while keeping everything on the surface.

TopoPen is compatible with Blender 4.5 LTS through Blender 5.2 LTS. Purchase it here and subscribe to our Newsletter, join our 80 Level Talent platform, Discord, and follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, and Instagram, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
