TopoGun

What TopoGun is

TopoGun is a standalone application for retopology and maps baking on Windows and macOS. Its tools create or edit topology over high-resolution scanned meshes and digital sculptures, with both manual and automatic approaches. Guide Lines let users draw on a reference mesh to plan edge flow. The maker cautions that automatic retopology is not recommended for production-ready assets when precise vertex placement and edge flow are crucial. Remesh can produce quad, quad-dominant, or triangular meshes, which the maker says are best suited to static assets. TopoGun bakes normal, displacement, ambient occlusion, color, curvature, transmission, and cavity maps in one pass. Polycount limits depend on available system RAM, and the retopology and maps-baking modules support up to 256 CPU cores. Standalone activation requires internet access and permits one active instance at a time; floating instances are limited by seat count. Both license types include lifetime email support. The demo is for evaluation and cannot save scenes, subdivision data, or baked maps.
