i am the anon that shits on blender users in every single goddamn thread and even i value boxcutter. 3ds max originally invented it (it's part of keyhydra), but its version is even slightly wonkier and slower.

>please note how ironically, the paid-for 3ds max has a free version of boxcutter, which then got stolen/copied by someone and sold to freeware users

i downloaded blender again after several years of having transit... I mean ascended to max/zbrush and will use boxcutter for the sole purpose of extremely quickly blocking out the size of level elements (buildings, corridors, jump distances etc).

modeling itself (more than 100 polygon garbage) will of course be done in an actual modeling software.

I've always been confused about addons like these.
I thought boolean workflows just fuck up geometry, making bevels inconsistient and wonky. I mean for fuck's sake even when I model by hand I can never get bevels to work perfectly on all edges, and I have to make concessions with my bevel size because the smaller ones clamp the bigger ones.
How does an addon like this make geo that plays nice with bevels and is just "throw as much booleans and shit at a model till it looks good"?

Anonymous at Tue, 4 Jul 2023 23:41:04 UTC No. 950409

>>950405
To have booleans and bevel work correctly together on a mesh is an hard problem in general. Obviously real 3D sotfware such as 3DS works better than Blender.

On the other hand, that's what CAD software specializes in, so if you need booleans and bevel, which is mandatory for any kind of mechanical design, then choose your CAD software.

Personally I like https://www.freecad.org/
but there are many others ranging from free to very expensive. Just don't waste your time trying to do "hard surface" in Blender because it's going to lead you down Arrimus path.

Doing "hard surface" in Blender subjects you to so much pain and suffering that one day jesus comes to you and personally tells you: "please stop doing Blender".

It's true.

In every possible way. But I don't use it.

I've discovered this recently: https://solvespace.com/index.pl and I think it's a really good alternative to Freecad.

But then again, there are many CAD programs around and not all of them are made by Autodesk.

The cheapest one that has the best results, so blender it is. The main problem with the software currently is not its capacities but rather the willingness for employees to learn a new program. As most goyims love Autodesk education. But let's be honest Autodesk has hindered cgi development since it bought and buried six feet under Softimage and the closest thing to it it's the freebie you so thoroughly despise. Why is it goyim? Are you to lazy to learn a new program that took you years to learn?

Anonymous at Wed, 5 Jul 2023 02:54:48 UTC No. 950428

You don't know this but most companies (the ones who want to stay afloat at least) entirely ban the use of Blender on their premises because that way they don't have to deal with the "Blender people".
That is such a huge plus in itself that it easily outweight any (if any) usefulness the software may have.

The Blender community has decayed so much and has become so bad over the years, it used to be a resource, but now it has become a massive liability for the Blender project itself, to the point that it may not survive much longer.

This is partially true, but abc's, vdb's polygons are universal, it will only suck for you if the company you work for, has subsidies with Autodesk. And Autodicks they will be assholes to the company if they know they have hired blendlet. Trust me, If the company is not being directly benefited from Autodesk I doubt they will give a shit about the software an employee uses, I've been there on both scenarios.
By principle I dislike Autodesk by these kind of practices as if you get some subsidies you are literally their bitch. Which is a shame as I can say certainly that blender is a very productive software that surpasses Autodesk in certain areas of pipeline, worst of all I know for sure that if an employee learns at least modelling they can jump to other areas more comfortably and faster as shortcuts remain contextual.

You only need a couple of neurons to see how this influence governs over all of the normies.
>ebil capitalism
Don't blame capitalism, that is the main reason why blender came to exist, twitching the nipples of the industry trough every legal loophole it can exploit, so it is able to compete to the Canadian/Commonwealth CGI oligopoly, blender is the counter reaction to the current market, as it will find ways to compete. It is a shame there are still Golems that will defend this practices like you muh retired programmer golem fren.

That's why I'm not going back in there. I told this story already. I was fired once because I alleged in confidence that another male employee may have been wearing mascara.

But the faggots, they're there but they're not productive. They're not expected to be productive. You have to solve the problems and then give the merit to them.

As I said, at home by my choice I use Blender and Linux. I was just trying to tell people that the workplace is a very different environment than your bedroom.

I'm familiar with CAD stuff, and I've used it before in the past.
I'm more specifically asking about the workflow using hardops/boxcutter, and how they manage a boolean workflow that keeps bevels intact.
Like in normal use, you'd isolate the areas you're going to bool so things play nice, but those addons you just go for it without any of that stuff, I think.

>>950441
>a boolean workflow that keeps bevels intact
The major difference between CAD software and Blender is that CAD NURBS have support for n-gons with holes. Blender only supports n-gons without holes.
As a consequence, there's only so much you can do with boolean/bevel combinations before problems arise.

On the Blender Youtube channel I saw that they're re-writing the Bevel modifier and the new version looks good but I don't know what state it's in at the moment.

There is no simple answer to your question. Boolean/bevel may be the hardest problem in 3D and expensive CAD software is expensive for a reason.

It depends on the amount of heuristics that's included in the algorithm.
All boolean/bevel algorithms fail in some situations. The more expensive the algorithm, the harder you have to try to make it fail.
