Your boolean result looks broken?

It's almost always the wrong solver.

Float, Exact, Manifold... each has a job. Pick the wrong one and you get holes, weird shading, or that dreaded inside-out result.

@Dushess74 It is just exporting from Blender so as long as your model is in Blender you are good ;-)

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@Gaminghub2023 Appreciate it :D

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@dshaynie Gotcha, yeah I need people to test in there workflows- it is only when that happens that the holes appear. Works flawless in my current workflows... doesn't mean it will everywhere, let me know if you discover anything not working :)

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@dshaynie Open to feedback- this isn't a tool to check someone's competency, just to export models :)

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@28muff_ Added to the list... It's a big list!

What are you trying to get across, characters, vehicles...?

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@dshaynie Hah sounds just like mine :D

[Michael Bridges @TechEdMike]

@dshaynie If you already have a good workflow stick with it :)

The number of times I have had students forget to configure it correctly (as I have done, flicking between projects), this is a really helpful tool.

I'm definitely selfish- building for my failings first! :)

Blender 4.3 changed how brushes work, and it's… a bit of a mess. I walk through what’s broken, why it’s frustrating, and how to actually get custom brushes working.
