Quadify Premium — Changelog

Release history for Quadify Premium. Current version: 2.6.0.

v2.6.0 — Overlay, Health Check, Snapshots, LOD Naming

New features:

Live Quad Overlay — viewport tint showing green quads and red tris in real time. In Semi-Manual mode switches to region colours: red for Protect, green for Focus, yellow for Transition. Throttled to 150ms for performance on dense meshes.

Mesh Health Check — runs automatically during Analyze & Prepare. Reports non-manifold edges, zero-area faces, flipped normals, and loose vertices with counts. One-click Fix All Issues button.

Before/After Snapshot — saves a QP_Before shape key before any destructive operation when Auto Snapshot is enabled. Toggle button flips between states; trash button clears.

LOD Naming Conventions — new dropdown with Unity (AssetName_LOD0), Unreal (SM_AssetName_LOD0), and Simple formats. Estimated output face counts shown per level before running.

Density Readout — live tris/m² shown in Mesh Summary with delta vs target after every operation.

Quad Coverage Progress Bar — visual fill in Mesh Summary showing quad percentage after conversion.

Per-object Analyze State — analyzed state now stored per object. Switching to a different object no longer resets the panel.

Fixes: Mesh Summary now updates immediately after operations (was showing stale data). dissolve_limited passes removed from the conversion pipeline — these were destroying thin structural geometry like window frames. AI_SCAN mode no longer auto-applied to real vehicle/CAD imports. shape_threshold tightened from 0.6 to 0.4. Threading removed from batch processing — replaced with sequential loop after random crashes. Version numbers synced across bl_info and blender_manifest.toml.

v2.5.0 — Improved Quadification

Improved quadification pipeline. Disabled AI mesh remeshing by default.

v2.3.0 — UX, Stability, and Workflow Clarity

Renamed Batch Mode to Apply to Selected Objects. Improved tooltips across all settings and operators. Density Target workflow refined. Semi-Manual Regions better integrated with reduction and quadification. Fixed crashes when reducing meshes with shape keys. LOD generation stabilized and aligned with region protection.

v2.2.x — Premium Feature Expansion

Added Density Target (tris per m²) for world-building and asset normalisation. Added Auto-Tag Regions (protect seams, sharp edges, curvature; focus planar areas). Added LOD generation with Gentle, Balanced, and Aggressive profiles. Improved Semi-Manual Mode behavior during poly reduction. Expanded analytics and reporting support.

v2.1.0 — Analytics & Batch Foundations

Added mesh analytics and JSON report export. Added batch processing across selected objects. Added preset save/load system. Improved UV optimisation and degenerate cleanup. Improved quad conversion reliability.

v2.0.0 — Initial Premium Release

Initial Premium UI and workflows. Tri-to-quad conversion with preservation options. Poly reduction tools. Presets and analytics foundation.
