I'm just starting in Blender and this Sir, is the most convicing sales video I've seen so far. Instant buy! Thanks for the effort you put in your content! ⚜

I'm surprised these tools are not standard features in Blender. They're so useful. I purchased both today, and I don't think I can go back to vanilla without these tools.

Damn this is a great video!!! Best beginner BoxCutter video I have seen so far, and I have watched a lot. I just got box cutters and hard ops and I was having a lot of trouble using them because the other videos didn't explain them as well as you do. for instance, I didn't realize you needed to apply a double-click before you can slide it through the object when using the ngon tool; because of you, I can finally use that tool. Thank you for your excellent instructions. Note: I have subscribed to your channel.

Mr. Vaul. AGAIN I find that you have one of the best videos available for my Blen-ucaution needs.

Best Tutorial i have seen on BoxCutter... Thanks so Much :)

Hops cutter was such a good investment, I don't use Boxcutter much because of all its fails but Hops is like a must for my workflow

[jeffdavies]

Best Boxcutter tutorial around! Well done sir!

[Remowylliams]

Brilliant. I've watched a number of BoxCutter Tutorials and none were as clear and illustrative as this one tutorial. I've had BoxCutter for years and only used it a short time. This will change that. Bravo. Will you be doing a tutorial for HardOps? I'm still not sure of the difference between C-Sharp and S-Sharp for example. Many many thanks for your hard work on these tutorials. Great pacing, engaging tone, keeping me from zoning out and letting my attention drift. A+ Teaching skills here.

VERY CLEAR AND AWESOME TUTORIAL. THANK YOU MAN

[herculeholmes]

I just bought the HardOps/Boxcutter bundle but I forgot to use your affiliate link!
I'll have to make it up to you later.

The snap to grid option reminds me of the old Grow browser games where they'd carve a cube and it would turn into a little city

[barriejones]

Thank you for all your excellent videos. I have just purchased Boxcutter and learned almost everything about it from this I just need to know how to edit a non destructive boolean? I am also a beginner with Blender so I may be missing something.

awesome video mate, helping tons, nice clean and informative

[techvalo]

In the other tutorials they go so fast it's hard to keep up. I tried to learn boxcutter multiple times and dropped it because of those tutorials. Thanks for going slow and explaining the details so I can finally learn this.

[CsokaErno]

It is brilliant. I am able to learn Boxcutter in a half an hour. Very good, thank you. I think, in your "The complete guide..." series you might also make a HardOps and Meshmachine episode. Your videos are far better than Blender Bros's.

Hi I've been watching your video tonight which is really helpfull but wondered if you had found an issue with the extract tool? If I 'capture' the custom shape and then try to re-use it several times, after a few it stops cutting all the way though. If I then make the customs cutter size much bigger it cuts through. This is being applied direct to the basic cube without any size, location or rottion having being applied. Thanks for any help.

The best addons are Vanilla options in fewer steps. That’s why I like this add on. It’s Bool Tool but faster.

[nasmith]

@ArtisansofVaul the cutter doesn't default to "view". You have to start your cut within the face bounds of the side you are cutting into. if you start outside of that face, the cutter switches from "object" to "view".

What was the hotkey that pulled up the set origin pie menu? at 23:39?
Thanks

Got boxcutter and hardops and in the first section of this video following along I loved it, it makes blender feel more like what I'm used to in Maya or Modo! but not sure what I've pressed following along, but it no longer previews the cut slide and just autocuts all the way through and locking to the object/ortho view doesn't work....everything's just at random angles and makes wedges/angles even with wedge/angle turned off. Bummer, it was great for a minute there but now I don't even know the right words to google the problem since "autocut" is an actual setting and "white dots" just brings up search results for rendering issues. :')
