Main This character showcases the use of
VDMs and the Boolean features to create details
and reine shapes on an organic sculpture
BottoM lEFt Another great addition to 4R8 is
the ‘start group’ option within the SubTools,
enabling you to work non-destructively with very
complex structures
BottoM MiDDlE Using very simple shapes
and primitives, along with the Live Booleans, you
can create very intricate structures in minutes
BottoM RiGHt The real-time Booleans not
only provide instant feedback, but they are
very fast, even when working with dense
DynaMesh objects
BEloW With VDMs you can create detailed
maps to build entire scenes in just a few seconds.
This is a great way to iterate when you are
working on a new concept
