hbBool: FREE(*) Source Code of a Library for Booleans on Polygonal Meshes
hbBool is a FREE(*) source code library for performing Boolean Set Operations on
polygonal meshes.
Distinguishing Features of hbBool
-
Local Boolean:
Limit the operations to the vicinity of a selected vertex (work with large tools locally).
-
Slice, multiknife-slice:
:
Use the second argument(s) as knifes, chopping the first argument into many solids. Also: multitool subtraction.
-
Translational Sweep: Along a polyline. Result has no selfintersections.
-
Surface operations: perform Boolean on surfaces (not only on volumes).
- User-selectable preprocessing operations:
-
Scene union:
Merge (union) all surface patches of a mesh (turn a set of patches into a solid).
-
Remove Selfintersections
: Perform Boolean even on meshes which contain selfintersections.
-
hbBool as a modifier: Modify a mesh by the StudioMax preprocessing options, without doing Boolean operations.
-
Fairing Boolean: In preparation.

Why hbBool?
Because of its features, and performance. A handy tool, which just does its job.
