Transfer Vertex Order v2.3 for Blender – Advanced Vertex Order Management & Transfer Tool

Download Transfer Vertex Order v2.3 for Blender on Windows, Mac, and Linux, a specialized add-on that transfers vertex order between meshes with identical geometry. Essential for shape key workflows, blend shape transfers, and character rigging—ensure consistent vertex indexing between meshes for accurate deformation .

Key Features of Transfer Vertex Order v2.3:

• Vertex Order Transfer: Copy vertex order from reference mesh to target mesh
• Shape Key Preservation: Maintains shape key functionality after vertex order changes
• Multi-Mesh Support: Transfer vertex order between multiple meshes simultaneously
• Automatic Matching: Matches vertices between meshes by position
• Manual Matching: Manual vertex correspondence for complex cases
• Validation Tools: Check vertex order consistency before and after transfer
• Batch Processing: Process multiple objects with one operation
• Error Detection: Identifies meshes that cannot be matched
• Undo Support: Safe experimentation with full undo
• v2.3 Updates: Enhanced matching algorithms, improved performance, and compatibility with Blender 4.0+

Perfect For:

• Character artists transferring shape keys between meshes
• Game developers maintaining blend shape compatibility
• Rigging artists ensuring consistent mesh deformation
• VFX professionals preparing models for animation
• Anyone working with shape keys and blend shapes

See video tutorial about addon made by Danny Mac 3D here.

This blender addon makes it possible to transfer the vertex order (face and edge too since 2.2 update), from mesh  A to mesh B, if both of them have the same topology (same vertex count, same polygon count).

With vert order copied you will be able to transfer mesh attributes like uv, weights, colors etc. by using Data Transfer modifier (and using’Topology’ vertices matching).

For vert id transfer, if two meshes have same vertices position, you can use object mode ‘ctrl+c’ menu -> Transfer vert ID by vert proximity. Just select target object(s), then source mesh and use ctrl+c to transfer ids from source mesh to target mesh.

If two meshes have different vertices positions use editmode ctrl+c menu – Copy vert ID topological. First you need to select two, adjacent faces on source mesh – copy mesh id’s with ctrl+c menu, and then, select two similar faces on target mesh and  paste IDs. Operation has to be repeated for each island (disconnected mesh parts)  separately.

Since version 2.3 now there is also option to Transfer vert IDs using matching UVs.

This addon is using ‘Copy Attributes Menu’ addon, which is build-in into blender.

You can preview vert IDs by using MeasureIt addon (also build-in into blender).

This addon is base on Magic UV – UV Topological transfer script.

Update 2.1 and 1.1 for both  Blender 2.8 and 2.79 (13.06.2019):

• massive speed bump on high-poly meshes (thx. to zagzag)

Update 2.2 (blender 2.8 only)

• from now on all data is transfered (vertices ids, face ids, edge ids)

Update 2.3 ( 13.05.2022)

• New option to transfer Vert IDs using matching UVs

Update 2.4 ( 11..02.2025)

• Option to copy and paste verts order in one go
• option to preview/debug already transferred verts ids – by ‘VTX_TRANSFER’ color attribute (colored verts – ids were transferred, white – not yet)
