How to use it

A simple how to use guide

🧩 RemeshIT – Main Remeshing Engine

The RemeshIT button is the heart of the BQR workflow. When pressed, it automatically adds a chain of modifiers (Remesh → Bevel → Subdivision Surface) optimized to convert dense, triangulated geometry into a clean, quad-dominant mesh suitable for boolean operations and further modeling.

This operator is particularly useful for CAD imports or high-poly assets that need to be transformed into smoother, concept-friendly, quad-based geometry, ready for boolean operations!

🔍 Main Workflow Parameters

Octree Depth

Octree Depth

What it does: Controls the level of detail of the voxel remesher.

• Higher values create finer geometry but also increase polygon count.

• Lower values reduce detail and simplify the mesh more aggressively.

Example Video

Tip: Use values between 4–6 for most boolean-friendly results.

Scale

Scale

What it does: Adjusts how tightly the remesher fits the surface.

• A higher value (closer to 1) creates a denser remesh.

• A lower value leaves more spacing between vertices, leading to a lighter mesh.

Example Video

Tip: If you experience holes or distortions, try slightly lowering this value (e.g., 0.85).

Amount

Bevel Amount

What it does: Determines how thick the bevel is on sharp edges.

• Higher values produce softer, more visible bevels.

• Lower values keep the bevel tight and technical.

Tip: A setting of 0.02–0.05 is ideal for clean technical edges.

Segments

Segments

What it does: Sets how many subdivisions are used in the bevel curve.

• Higher segments create smoother curves.

• Lower segments are better for hard-surface models.

Tip: Keep this at 3 for a good balance between quality and performance

Angle

Angle

What it does: Specifies the minimum edge angle (in degrees) that will receive a bevel.

• Lower values apply bevels to more edges.

• Higher values apply bevels only to sharp corners.

Tip: 30° is usually ideal for CAD or modelling.

Shape

Shape

What it does: Adjusts the profile curve of the bevel.

• A value of 0 creates a concave bevel.

• A value of 1 creates a convex bevel.

• 0.5 gives a uniform, even bevel.

Tip: 0.5 is the most stable and recommended for general use.

Subdivision

Subdivision Level

What it does: Controls how many levels of Subdivision Surface are applied after the bevel.

• Higher levels give a smoother, more rounded result.

• Lower levels keep the mesh lightweight and sharper.

Tip: Use 1 or 2 depending on the level of visual smoothness you want.

Reset Settings

This button resets all the remeshing-related values (Octree Depth, Scale, Bevel Amount, Segments, Angle, Shape, and Subdivision Level) back to their default state.

Tip: Use it if your mesh gets distorted or if you want to start fresh without tweaking sliders manually.

Clear BQR Modifier

Removes all modifiers added by the BQR workflow: Remesh, Bevel, Subdivision Surface, and Smooth.

Tip: Ideal when you want to delete everything BQR added without affecting other modifiers you may have on the mesh.

✨ Refining Parameters

Smooth Repeat

Controls how many times the smoothing modifier is applied to the mesh. It helps soften the shading and clean up minor artifacts after remeshing.

Tip: Use higher values (e.g. 30–50) if your mesh looks too rough or jagged after remeshing. Be careful not to overdo it excessive smoothing might blur sharp details.

Beauty Bevel

Toggles the use of a more aesthetically pleasing bevel profile (Arc instead of Sharp). This results in smoother, rounded bevels, ideal for concept art or stylized hard-surface models.

Tip: If your CAD model breaks or explodes after applying Remesh, disable this setting. Some dense or complex meshes may not support Beauty Bevel properly.

🔨 Modeling

Mirror

The Mirror feature automatically creates a Mirror modifier with an empty object at the world center. Select mirror axes (X, Y, Z), set Merge/Clip options, and control its position in the modifier stack with a single click.

Tip: you can move the mirror in the modifiers by moving it before or after the remesher according to your needs

Boolean Tools V1.5

The Boolean Tool in BQR allows you to easily manage and organize all boolean modifiers applied to a selected mesh. Once the object is selected, the addon automatically detects all active boolean operations and displays them in a clean, intuitive panel.

Each boolean is tagged with a visual icon to indicate its type:

• ➕ Addition (Union)

• ➖ Subtraction (Difference)

• ⚡ Intersection (Cut)

Before applying modifiers, use the Boolean Tool to sort operations from simplest to most complex (e.g. Difference → Union → Intersect). This improves calculation accuracy and helps avoid topological errors during boolean processing, or its good for concepting!

Deform Tools V1.5

The Deform Tools panel introduces non-destructive deformation workflows designed to keep your mesh boolean-ready at all times. Currently, the available tool is the Lattice Cage.

By clicking Add Lattice Cage, a lattice is automatically added and bound to the selected mesh, allowing you to deform it in real-time while preserving a clean, quad-based topology suitable for boolean operations.

You can increase or decrease the resolution of the cage at any time using the + and – buttons, giving you finer or broader control over the deformation.

The lattice cage isn't just useful for modeling, it's also ideal for animation. By animating the lattice itself, you can create smooth mesh deformations without affecting your modifier stack or boolean structure.

Displace V1.6

The "Displace" button adds (or removes) a Displace modifier to the selected object. This modifier deforms the mesh by moving its vertices based on a texture, creating bumps or dents on the surface. When you activate the button, a procedural texture (Clouds type) is automatically created and linked to the modifier, ready for customization.

Use the Displace modifier to add organic details or surface irregularities to your mesh without manual modeling. You can achieve different effects by changing the texture or adjusting the modifier’s Strength and Mid Level settings.

🛠️ Finalization Parameters

Apply Modifiers

Applies all the modifiers added during the RemeshIT process (Remesh, Bevel, Subsurf, etc.), converting them into real geometry.

Tip: Use this before exporting or unwrapping to lock in your final mesh. A backup is automatically created in a hidden collection, just in case.

Opitimize

Adds a Decimate (Unsubdivide) modifier to simplify the mesh and reduce unnecessary geometry while preserving the overall shape.

Tip: Great for lowering polycount after remeshing. Works best when used after applying modifiers.

CEL V1.4

Dissolves redundant edge loops that don’t contribute to the shape of the model. It preserves geometry around curves, holes, and corners.

Tip: Use this to achieve a cleaner topology for real-time or game assets. The edge dissolve is adaptive and non-destructive.

UV Unwrap

Automatically unwraps the mesh using Blender’s Smart UV Project, preparing the object for texturing.

With the introduction (in V1.5) of real-time unwrapping this feature will change.

Tip: Only use this after applying all modifiers. It creates and activates a default UV map named “UVMap”.

Reeal Time UV V1.6

The "Add Real-Time UV" button adds (or removes) a Geometry Nodes modifier that applies a tri-planar UV mapping to the selected mesh. This setup automatically generates UV coordinates by projecting them from three axes, which is especially useful for objects without proper UV unwrapping or for quickly testing textures.

If you wish to export the mesh to graphics engines such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot or others, the modifier must be applied.

Tri-planar projection works very well with seamless textures, so it is not mandatory that the UVs be confined within the 0-1 space. However, if you prefer to have UVs packed neatly in that space, you can use the Pack UV button.

Once the modifier is applied, you can freely change the angle and scale of each UV island separately, according to your needs.

Use Real-Time UV mapping to instantly preview textures on your model without manual UV unwrapping. This is ideal for hard-surface objects or when you need a fast, seamless texture projection for previews or procedural materials.
