Subject: [Carrara] A Better Boolean Bonanza
> I've always been disappointed with Carrara's boolean operations.
>
> When I downloaded the 3.0.1 update I noticed in the Read Me file that
> various boolean issues had been addressed. So I thought I give it
> another try.
>
> To my surprise boolean operations seem to be working *much* better
> than before. One test after another produced objects with no
> noticeable artifacts. Only on one model (a large cube with 11
> sequential boolean operations) did I encounter any stray vertices or
> open polygons (which were repairable). Even subtracting a curved text
> object from an ellipsoid was successful (though it took a loooong
> time to calculate).
>
> I've posted an example of my results here:
> http://kryptonite.ece.ucsb.edu/pictures/3D-Modeling/BetterBooleans.jpg
>
> A combination of primitive, spline, and vertex objects were used. I'm
> running on a Mac G5 with OS X 10.3.1.
>
> These tests would have failed miserably with previous versions of Carrara.
>
> I be interested to hear if others are finding a similar improvement.
