About 'The Boolean Modifier'!

[Michael_Bridges]

In this video (objectives)…

1. Use our first modifier
2. It is a dynamic tool
3. Understand its limitations
4. Create some awesome shapes

After watching (learning outcomes)…

Use the Boolean modifier to quickly create more interesting meshes

The new boolean modifier is fine and dandy. Big improvement.

[Michael_Bridges]

Has a few downsides with Topology but really useful for mocking up simple scenes!

[Marc_Carlyon]

As always the boolean needs to be treated with care but this is a massive improvement over the confusion in blender 2.7*

[Velcronator]

Im looking forward to when there is a stable version. Some modifiers don’t work well yet and some are just a huge improvement.

Having fun with the boolean modifier ^^ :

[Michael_Bridges]

Hehe that is awesome.

[Velcronator]

That is awesome

Is the course out I can’t find it on udemy

Thank you

My bridge arch

[Carl_Gustafsson]

Another Arch. Used a deformed sphere to cut out the centre…and elongated spheres along the corners. Will be interesting to see when multiplied.

What i would like to see added in this part is how we make a mesh of the thing we created. When I export this into Substance now, I dont see the model I made, but the two objects. Maybe you come to this point later in the course, then I think its good to refer to it.

And great course btw. I really appreciatie you do this for a program that is still in alpha. Blender 2.8 will be my new modeling software, I like it very much! Keep up the good work

[Stephen_Jenkins]

@VR_Visuals you just need to click “Apply” on the boolean modifier

I got a bit carried away

[Richard_Rayer]

Enjoyed the Boolean lecture. I did find that I had to apply scale to my Boolean cutter before using it. Maybe the October 1 release of Blender 2.8 caused that or I did something else wrong setting it up. Anyway, I did one as the challenge where I used a cylinder to cut into the cube and then a cube to get the straight sides of the archway. Then I did a second one after I finished the lecture in the same manner Mike showed at the end of the lecture. Both ways seemed to have worked just fine.

Here are my two Archways:

I always “brush” my models after boolean operations)

[Manu_Scheller]

Nice

[FredLarson]

Very basic.
