Boole is ticket01′s solution for using CSG (constructive solid geometry) modeling aka. boolean operations on polygonal meshes in Autodesk Maya. It’s the most robust plug-in available and delivers high-quality results for the most complex meshes in very short time. It offers all of the standard boolean operations like Union, A minus B, B minus A, Intersection and Symmetric Difference.
What features does Boole offer?
- interactive switching between operations with immediate visual feedback
- non-manifold support (e.g. planes)
- smooth mesh preview support of operands – on-the-fly switching available
- animatable
- object slicing
- output of intersection edges as Maya NURBS curves
- no triangulation of borders
- normal interpolation
- vertex-color interpolation
- very robust
Documentation of the Boole plug-in can be found here.
