you probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend recently xD
this sounds like a great plugin but I absolutely don't understand how to use it. in the documentation you start with "this button reverts back to proboolean". revers from what? I didn't do anything so far. the video also starts with a full mesh and the smoothboolean open, and random edges appearing. what? could you be more specific? could you start from the beggining? did you make the mesh with proboolean? how do you make those edges? I don't understand jack
after almost 2 days of testing and carefully setting up my booleans this still doesnt work. i have redone the same steps over and over paying attention to my smoothing groups and boolean operation order but I still get messages that my model is not watertight or that the pro boolean is not valid. when it does work its with simple booleans from primitives or simplistic objects. what a waste of time
Hello. Could you send me the problematic scene, where you can't solve the SmoothBoolean mesh? I need to see what is causing it. My email: kamil@km-3d.com
Looks great, how does it compare to Modo Meshfusion? I believe Meshfusion is a bit more flexible with the combination lower and higher density meshes and generates better quads (less ngons and triangles) So it subdivides better.
MeshFusion is more powerful for now and it has realtime mesh generator. I'd say my plugin creates better strips intersections with pure quads, but as you said my plugin can create n-gons near the chamfers. However, I have plans to constantly the SmoothBoolean, it is just the first release.
Thank you for your replay. The problem is that this happens very random.. Same scene (mega simple - sphere and cylinder) - freeze, then it may work or not (identical steps) ... The only more special thing is that I'm on 2013 still.. Freezes like this: i.gyazo.com/5d1a201f92e06698dce3f035de59b337.png ps: 2016 freeze too, again a bit random... some buffer maybe?
@@MrKoshnica I'd still need that 3ds max scene where the error occurs, because I have to be certain that it is or isn't a boolean setup fault. Could you tell me how many cpu cores do you have? And how often (maybe in %) does the freeze occur?
@@KM3DCOM ok. i found a reason why this happened. Looks like smooth boolean conflict with another plugin called HDR light studio connection. Please fix it.
It didnt worked even one single time for me. I tried it lots of times and it just came out with errors and unable to do stuff. It only works in very specific conditions. Please update or stop selling. 100 euros to trash.
@@KM3DCOM Actually I have an account on km-3d, is there a way to email there instead of on youtube? just for security reasons and remote work and all ;)
This is very promising plugin but I can't try it because 3ds max 2018 is always crash once I press "solve mesh" button I don't know if this is demo version related issue or something wrong I do in proboolean setup.
Cannot find the hotfix, it is still version 1.0 on the website. One more thing, is it possible for you to add previous versions of Max? Mean to make the script works on older version? This was the thing i have been waiting for since 2016
So if I get it right Vertex normals are going to be ruined if I'll export it to other DCC or game engine that doesn't support custom Vertex Normals, right?
Yep, small shading issues may appear near the chamfers, you can see the same issue when you add an Edit_Poly modifier to your solved SmoothBoolean mesh.
@@Eternal_23 But you can convert SmoothBoolean to Editable_Poly object and your normals will remain smooth. Only the Edit_Poly modifier rebuilds the normals, Edit_Mesh modifier doesn't do that. It is impossible to prevent rebuilding vertex Normals with an Edit_Poly mod, but I have an idea how to make a SmoothBoolean object editable without loosing the smooth vertex normals, I will show it in the next release of SmoothBoolean.
Nice thanks for the clarification!! Awesome plugin Just a couple of questions is the demo on the website the new 1.03? and do i have to go through a shopping cart on the website, every time i download an update?
im having a hard time with this pluggin, its kinda frustrating.. mome of this makes sense.. and a 100 bucks is a bit much for something so glitchy and finicky
You are not alone. I bought it way back and it didnt work one single time for me. I guess it just works on the video tutorial conditions. Is the most expensive and worst plugin I have.
One person has done more for 3ds Max, than what Autodesk does in several years of updating.

Thank you! Great work! Please keep developing it.
HardMesh plugin for Max is on the way. It is modifier based and doesn't have this weird workflow where you have to prepare the cutters.
@@musashidanmcgrath Really!? I haven't heard about it ( Can I get a link to get more information ?
For those of us who don't have a clue..It would be good to do a voice step by step tutorial.. showing in detail what can be done with the plugin.
How about ngons? does it deal with ngons too?
its still hard to follow if we have to read and look at the same time what you are doing.
Awesome I have to try it. Can we dream of the same tool working for non-proboolean object in the future? like standard low poly extruded modeling?

does it crash everytime on any object? Do you have any error messages or a regular hard crash and with Max shutdown?

There's none, the only limitation in demo is that the generated mesh isn't renderable/editable.
