Hey Reader,
Zach here,
When it comes to hard-surface modeling in Blender, Boolean operations are a great way to easily cut, join or slice different objects.
However, often times, when you run the Boolean operation, things are not going as expected. Mostly this has to do with problems of your mesh.
That's why in our new Blender tutorial, Louis du Mont shares 7 common Boolean issues and how to fix them.
This can be a handy checklist, for whenever you approach Boolean issues when modeling your hard-surface objects.
BTW, this is a free lesson from our new Robotic Planet course for Blender.
There, you learn how to create two robots from scratch. One of them uses the Boolean workflow.
Enjoy!
