Quick Start

This page walks through your first Quadify Ultra operation from installation to result.

Install the Add-on

Download quadify_ultra.zip from your Superhive purchase. Open Blender 5.0 or newer and go to Edit → Preferences → Extensions → Install from Disk. Select the zip file and click Install. Enable Quadify Ultra in the extensions list. You do not need to restart Blender.

Open the Panel

Press N in any 3D Viewport to open the N-panel. The Quadify Ultra tab appears at the bottom of the tab list. Click it to expand the panel.

Your First Quadify Operation

Select a mesh object in Object Mode. Press Ctrl+Shift+Q or click the Quadify button. Ultra will analyse the mesh, select an algorithm, and process it. The panel updates to show a results card with before/after face counts and quad percentage.

If the mesh has a Mirror modifier applied, a warning will appear. For best results, process one half of the mesh with the modifier unapplied and re-apply it afterward.

Review the Result

After processing, the results card shows:

  • Algorithm used and ML confidence score
  • Before and after face count
  • Quad percentage achieved
  • Processing time

If the result is not what you wanted, press Ctrl+Z to undo. A backup of the original mesh is saved automatically before every operation — you can also restore it explicitly using Restore Original Mesh in the Results panel (available after QuadriFlow and Voxel Remesh modes).

Post-Process Tools

Reduce Poles is available in the Results panel after any operation. It dissolves vertices with 5+ edge connections where it can be done safely without creating non-manifold geometry. Run this after Smart mode for cleaner topology.

Compare Before/After toggles the original mesh as a wireframe overlay on the result, so you can visually judge topology quality without undoing.

Local Cleanup

For fixing specific areas after a full-mesh operation, switch to Edit Mode on the processed mesh. The Local Cleanup panel appears in the N-panel. Click Select N-gons to pre-select problem faces, adjust the selection if needed, then click Clean Up Selection. Only the selected faces are processed.

Keyboard Shortcut

The global shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Q triggers the main Quadify operation from anywhere in the 3D Viewport without opening the panel. The shortcut uses whichever algorithm is currently selected in the panel settings.
