In the ever-evolving world of 3D graphics, the models created are often made up of millions of polygons, making them detailed but also quite heavy. Working with such complex models can be challenging, especially when it comes to maintaining quality and ensuring smooth operation. This is where TopoGun comes to the rescue.

TopoGun is a leading standalone app dedicated to 3D model retopologizing and texture map baking, developed by Pixelmachine from Argentina. It allows users to manually paint polygons across the entire sculpting surface and then modify the topology using a brush-based workflow. It is suitable for scenarios such as retopologizing high-resolution meshes (simply converting a high-resolution model into a low-resolution model), allowing artists to convert detailed sculpting into lower-resolution, more animation-friendly assets.

TopoGun offers a user-friendly interface, is capable of handling high-resolution 3D data, and uses special rendering techniques to achieve unrivaled frame rates for high-resolution mesh rendering. Its polygon reconstructing function can attach all the dots, lines and surfaces to its surface without affecting the details of the original 3D model, ensuring that a 3D model composed of many polygons can be formed after the wiring is completed. At the same time, its map baking feature can bake high-poly information into various texture maps and apply them to your recreated polygons.

In addition, TopoGun supports both manual and automatic retopologies, has high performance even when working with high-polygon models, provides extensive set of tools for 3D optimization, and is suitable for both professionals and beginners.

Key Features

Feature Description
Dedicated Retopology Tools TopoGun's tools are specifically designed for editing and creating new topology over highres 3D scanned meshes or digital sculptures.
Automatic Retopology Along the established retopology tools, TopoGun comes with automatic retopologizing features.
High Performance Unlike any other 3D packages, TopoGun is a specialized standalone application, aimed for retopology, highres meshes processing and maps baking in the first place.

It is designed from the ground up with perfomance in mind.
Maps Baking TopoGun contains an advanced and fast maps baking module, used to transfer all the highres details to the lowpoly, retopologized meshes.
Friendly Interface TopoGun's interface is simple, straightforward and easily customizable.
Subdivision Surfaces TopoGun can help you recover all the details the original mesh has, by using the Subdivision feature.
The Morpher Feature The Morpher feature is used to update the retopologized mesh when the reference mesh is modified.
Portability TopoGun is a standalone application available for Windows and macOS operating systems. TopoGun licenses are cross-platform and after buying one, TopoGun can be installed on any of these operating systems.
