hard ops / boolean workflow is a meme outside of CAD software

You are an idiot who don't know shit.
hard ops / boxcutter - boolean workflow is for doing fast concept work.
CAD is for manufacturing.
The only thing they have in common is that the resulting meshes have shitty topology and need retopo / a proper modelling pass before they can be used in production.

>dosh for dozens of addons?
Hard Ops / Boxcutter bundle is 1 addon and costs 38 bucks, what else do you need?
You know you can pirate these addons...?

• You can go vanilla if you want to.
There's NOTHING WRONG with it.
Bool Tool is powerful as is.

• Remember AMB (Select All -> Merge by distance). Saves a lot of time.
Knife Project is your best friend.

• I see a lot of Hard Ops tutorials/courses where they do retarded modelling
and then waste their time auto merging with vertex slide when shading goes wrong lol.

• I only knew "CAD-like workflow" when I started Blender. Even in Blender,
I find typing in numbers for easy stuff more favorable in some scenarios.

• In addition, I spent a lot of non-coom hours practising this kind of stuff:

Others might disagree, but you do you.
Good luck!

caring about vertices and mesh topology feels so fucking wrong when you did cad work before / working with nurbs/curves to define shapes. feels like you're literally wasting your life taking care of primitive and outdated shit workflows that couple years down the line will be done 100% automated.

Great tips, thank you.

so do you then use cad software for creating objects, then import them to blender for animation / rendering?
