Hi, In Blender 2.79 I frequently used the Carver MT add-on to easily cut shapes and holes from / in a mesh. As Carver MT hasn’t been updated for Blender 2.8 yet, I’m looking for the best alternative, and I’m a bit lost in Blender’s hard-surface add-on world. There are a number of add-ons that seem…

Boxcutter, simple as, it is flat out amazing how fluid you can build things with it. That said, for working in general, if you can, I’d recommend all those 3 and DecalMachine when it comes across. But with Boxcutter, it’s just insane. check out some of the recent youtube videos:- Speaks for…

Prepare for your jaw to hit the floor :wink: Even though it’s Masterxeon donig the demo, trust me, it really is that simple and quick. :slight_smile:

Cool, thanks! :+1: I’m impressed.

No worries, I am only a user, but when I see something worth supporting, I do, between BoxCutter and HardOps, it improves the worklow a huge amount. If you do hard-surface stuff, really, they are essential. Yes, you can do a lot using BoolTool and setting sharp edges etc as I do in that video, but I…

This Add-on is not as advanced as those mentioned above but it does its job very well and it is being improved very actively: [image] GitHub - jayanam/fast-carve: Hardsurface utility Blender addon for fast... Hardsurface utility Blender addon for fast boolean and bevel operations (it's …

Thanks @txusmiCG . I’ll have a look at Fast Carve as well. Does anyone already own and use Fluent ? It looks quite intriguing too. I wonder how it compares to Boxcutter, Hardops and Meshmachine.
