Power Cutter tool
Power Cutter is the ideal tool for building objects that explode,
break apart, or fit together. This important new tool facilitates things
like exploded views (see image on opposite column), sectioning, assembly and
disassembly. The Power Cutter tool allows users to divide or cut up an
object in multiple pieces. Those pieces can then be pulled apart and even
animated (see video link on the column to the right).
Scripting Support
Power Booleans supports the 3ds Max scripting environment. Power
Booleans scripting provides improved integration with production
environments for game development, architectural visualization, etc. where
much of the design process can be automated. Power Booleans scripting can
assist you in automating and optimizing your design process.
Improved Boolean Performance
Power Booleans 2.0 was already fast and efficient. Now you can not
only have the reliable Power Booleans that you love, but you can also get
them about 2 times faster.
Group Selection
Power Booleans 3.0 allows the user to select a group of objects to
participate in a Boolean operation.
Improved Licensing
Power Booleans 3.0 provides simpler, faster and more convenient
licensing. Licensing can now be performed over the phone, or through email
(without the need for license files). Site licensing is still supported.
