Totally! 3DS max was completely missing out on Boolean modeling- which is a standart thing for Solidworks. This made 3DS Max useless for making prototypes for manufacturing. Why they never bothered fixing it till now?

Great video, they have improved Booleans sooooo much. Mind-blowing that Autodesk isn't shouting and showing off how fantastic it is. I bet many 3DS users have no clue about the extent of the improvements they have made.

"Weighted normals", un botón mágico!!! No lo conocía, está buenísimo

I've seen a lot of Max tutorials on here, and this is probably one of the most efficient and informative. Thank you! I learned a lot.

One of the best 3dsmax tutorials I've ever seen, really helpful, thanks.

wow! weighted nomals fixed everything! Thank you for the tur !

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks Eloi!

Cómo siempre...genial....super claro y al grano. Y felicidades por ese "pequeño" patrocinador... jajaja. Ya era hora!!!. Un saludo

They should of done that 10 years ago. Their boolean was piece of garbage. 1-2 operations, and it simply created hollow holes and orphaned vertices, trash edges, etc etc etc.

Awesome tutorial, thank you. Gacias!

great

this is great.

Nice 👍

I want your skills. Awesome

Great video. Subbed! One question though... Topology. After you have done all this with the booleans, can you run the Remesher and sort the topology or does it need to be done manually?

Hola Eloi, llevo trabajando 6 años como artista 3D para videojuegos. Este es el tutorial que mas me a ayudado jamas. Este herramienta "oculta" cambia totalmente el paradigma del hard surface en 3ds max. Muchas gracias y un saludo

@@shiningworld171 Until now retopology was manual just because there was not a good automatic tool to create a retopology. Technology advance, and if something its faster, why not just use it? With retopology you will not get a 100% ready game topology, but will bring you to the 95%. Then you can use the existing manual retopology tools to finish your retopo, but will be way less work than doing it from scratch in most cases.

Is there a way to extract, or extract as an instance like in ProBoolean? I can only figure out to remove from the boolean and then I lose that object forever.

Eloi Andaluz Fullà That works for the mesh, but not for the pivot locations. For instance, I extracted the meshes that made holes for a manifold so I could quickly align bolts. I went to do that with the new boolean result that someone made for me, and found I had to do workarounds. I'll add a feature request for this, I seem to need it more than I should. The new boolean does give less errors than ProBoolean though, which is nice.
