ReBevel v2.7 for Blender – The Ultimate Topology-Safe Bevel & Edge Refinement Tool

Download ReBevel v2.7 for Blender on Windows and Mac, a specialized hard-surface modeling addon designed to solve the most frustrating problem in 3D modeling: messy, pinched, and artifact-prone bevels. While Blender’s native bevel tool is powerful, it often creates N-gons, pinches vertices at complex intersections, and causes ugly shading artifacts when a Subdivision Surface modifier is applied. ReBevel completely reimagines the beveling process by automatically recalculating topology, generating custom profiles, and ensuring your edge flows remain perfectly clean and quad-based, no matter how complex the geometry.

Key Features of ReBevel v2.7:

• Topology-Safe Beveling: Instantly bevels edges while automatically recalculating the surrounding edge flow to maintain clean, subdivision-ready quad topology. Say goodbye to N-gons and twisted faces at intersections.
• Pinch & Artifact Removal: Advanced algorithms detect and resolve the “pinched” vertices that occur when multiple beveled edges meet. ReBevel automatically adds the necessary relief cuts and support loops to keep shading perfectly smooth.
• Custom Profile Library: Go far beyond the standard rounded bevel. Instantly apply mechanical chamfers, stepped profiles, ogees, and custom curved edge shapes that are mathematically precise and ready for hard-surface modeling.
• Micro-Bevel Generator: One-click tool to apply ultra-thin, consistent micro-bevels across selected edges. Perfect for catching specular highlights and breaking up the “infinitely sharp” CG look without adding heavy geometry.
• Variable Width Painting: Use a simple brush or vertex colors to paint exactly where you want the bevel to be thick, thin, or completely faded out, allowing for organic, worn, or stylized edge treatments.
• Smart Intersection Relief: Automatically analyzes T-junctions, Y-junctions, and complex poles, inserting the exact minimal amount of supporting geometry needed to prevent Subdivision Surface pinching.
• Non-Destructive Modifier Stack: ReBevel operates as a smart, stackable modifier. You can adjust the width, profile, and resolution of your bevels at any time without permanently altering your base mesh.
• Selective Edge Filtering: Easily filter which edges get beveled based on angle, sharpness, or manual selection, ensuring you only refine the edges that need it while leaving the rest of the mesh untouched.
• Batch Processing: Select multiple objects and apply ReBevel to all of them simultaneously, ensuring consistent edge treatment across an entire kitbash set or modular environment.
• Game Engine Optimization: Includes a “Collapse” feature that bakes the custom bevel profiles into the normal map while keeping the actual geometry low-poly, perfect for real-time game assets.

Perfect For:

• Hard-Surface Modelers who need flawless, artifact-free edges on mechanical parts, vehicles, and weapons.
• Game Artists creating clean, low-poly assets with baked normal maps that require perfect edge flow.
• Architectural Visualizers adding realistic, physically accurate chamfers and edge wear to interior and exterior props.
• Product Designers prototyping consumer goods where precise edge profiles and light-catching bevels are critical.
• Beginners who struggle with manual topology cleanup and want automated, reliable bevels that work perfectly with subdivision surfaces.

System Requirements:

• Blender: 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4+ (Latest LTS recommended).
• OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS 10.15+.
• RAM: 4GB minimum (8GB+ recommended for high-poly batch processing).
• No external dependencies required.

Installation:

1. Download the ReBevel v2.7 .zip file.
2. Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
3. Click Install…, select the downloaded file, and enable the checkbox next to Mesh: ReBevel.
4. Access via the 3D Viewport Sidebar (N-panel) under the ReBevel tab, or the Edit Mode Context Menu (Right-Click) > ReBevel Edges.

What’s New in v2.7?

• Blender 4.4 Compatibility: Fully updated mesh evaluation API to ensure rock-solid stability and correct UI scaling in the latest Blender 4.4 release.
• New “Step-Chamfer” Profile: Added a highly requested multi-step profile specifically designed for sci-fi and industrial mechanical parts, creating complex edge details with a single click.
• Faster N-Gon Resolution: Rewritten the topology cleanup algorithm, reducing calculation time by 45% when beveling dense, complex meshes with thousands of intersecting edges.
• Auto-Sharpness Detection: The modifier now automatically detects and respects custom split normals and sharp edges, applying bevels only where geometrically appropriate without manual filtering.
• Improved Micro-Bevel Falloff: Enhanced the mathematical falloff of the micro-bevel tool, ensuring it catches light beautifully without creating visible faceting on curved surfaces.
• Bug Fix: Resolved a rare issue where the modifier would occasionally invert normals on concave intersections when using the “Stepped” profile.

Note:

ReBevel v2.7 is the ultimate safeguard for your hard-surface topology. Every modeler knows the pain of spending hours manually moving vertices and adding holding edges just to fix a pinched bevel at a complex intersection. ReBevel automates this tedious cleanup process, allowing you to focus on the design rather than the math. Because it is entirely non-destructive, you can freely experiment with different edge profiles and widths, knowing you can always revert or tweak them later. Whether you are modeling a sleek sports car or a gritty industrial pipe, ReBevel ensures your edges are crisp, clean, and perfectly shaded every single time.

Add-on Blender (4.2+)  for tweaking existing mesh bevels (adjust existing bevel segment count, size, collapse bevel, adjust bevel profile etc). ReBevel addon also comes with bundled Loop Ring Select add-on (included in same zip file as ReBevel). LoopRingSelect – grow[shrink] edge loops, rings (simplifies working with ReBevel – I highly recommend to install it together).

Usage:

• ReBevel addon – alt+B to adjust existing bevel (change bevel size, segment count etc). Requires user to selected edge rings that creates bevel first.
• Loop Ring Select addon – L – key for pie menu, for quick selection, growing or shrinking of edge loops/rings.

Features

• adjust width, segment count on mesh bevels
• adjust width, segment count on curve bevels
• collapse bevel edges into original sharp corner
• addon will try to maintain geometry data if possible (edge sharpness, crease, material  ids, etc)
