Are retoplogy tools like Blender's retopoflow 4 worth it for non characters
Hi, For some context I do environment design (hobby) mainly, but I am starting to do more and more modelling instead of depending on others for models or purchased kits.

These retopo tools usually focus on trying to create nice edge flow, which helps improve subdivision surfaces, makes uvs easier to edit, and…
