OkTopo Remesher is a paid Blender add-on by Yegor Kumachov designed to automate head retopology. By placing a few markers and running the tool, it generates quad-based meshes with clean loops and UVs. The idea is to get usable, production-ready topology without going through the full manual retopology process. 

OkTopo is aimed at artists working with high-resolution sculpts or 3D scans who need to turn them into optimized meshes quickly. The add-on uses marker placement to determine where loops are most important, ensuring clean edge flow in areas such as the eyes and mouth.

Because topology and UVs are generated in the same process, the resulting meshes can be shaded, textured, or rigged immediately. Artists can also control the polygon density depending on whether the final asset is intended for games, animation, or offline rendering.

This workflow reduces the amount of time spent on repetitive retopology tasks, allowing character artists to concentrate on sculpting and design while still achieving consistent, production-ready results.

The developer has announced upcoming additions including full-body retopology, exclusion zones, editable guides, custom topology presets, and automatic texture baking. These updates point toward OkTopo evolving into a more complete retopology solution.
