I returned to the free (1.1) version of ImplosiaFX. I think that Boolean is so important, and I think Softimage should buy this awesome ubercool etc tool to include it in regular Softimage.

It's based on the Carve CSG library, as per this discussion: http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2159 The Carve library is here: http://code.google.com/p/carve/ I once wrapped it in an ICE node myself but I never released it because someone else already had. Anyway, I found I got better boolean results using 3Delight's CSG attributes on the project I needed it on. The one drawback I ran into with 3Delight was that I couldn't use SSS, because the SSS point cloud was calculated before the CSG operation.

The price of the license made it an overkill for me. Too bad they don't just sell the Boolean function. :) On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Ben Houston <b...@exocortex.com> wrote: We should look into the ImplosiaFX solution. It actually can do very nice booleans normally with UVs and Clusters and all that even with complex geometry. -ben On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 3:20 AM, Szabolcs Matefy <szabol...@crytek.com> wrote: > Hey folks, > > > > I'm looking for a free Boolean solution.
