No, you have to delete the cube to then create a new one

[zanly]

The default cube finally gets to see the light of day, what a historic moment!

Instead of joining the cylinders you can put them into a Collection, and set the Boolean modifier to subtract the collection. Then you can move the cylinders around freely, and add as many new subtract shapes to the collection as you like.

now someone finally use the default cube without deleting

[carterschmidt]

Bevel note to others attempting this, I had to apply my solidify modifier for the bevel to appear on the cube shape. I also had to move the Boolean modifier above the bevel modifier for the edges of the holes to be beveled

Optimal method to build the overall shape of an object and to place holes correctly.
Awesome.

[stoopidbastid]

very coolness. Good toot sir. I also learned how you did the animation with the independent cylinders. I didnt know you could use a collection for the negative.

Wow, this viewport display setting is a good alternative to brush boolean where I can no longer edit the cutting object after adding a boolean.

[Dizzyfrog]

I’ll probably never do this…ever. But the video is so mesmerizing for some reason…

[shadowwsk]

It seems like a really good tool, but some artists say avoid boolean if could, i dont understand why. You don't need to create unnecessary cuts to create a hole, it makes your topology cleaner

[remola]

but you applied smooth object and then Auto-normals, doesn¡t the auto-normlas cancels the smooth command previously added? thanks for your help

[the-alien-paul]

I just want to say thank you for your channel and work, for me as an 49 old late starter with blender your channel is pure gold. Left subscribtion and like. Keep up the good work <(°°)y

[roshan]

How can i select each coner vertices. Without dragging

[gamingK]

thickness? Can i add Thickness to a part of my model if it's just one face? 🤔

[urickyo]

Very Informative. Actually curious If that Is a matcap you are using that somehow offers different colors when you create a new object? Thanks In advance :D

[Glitch-Gremlin]

What exactly does non destructive mean? As far as using booleans or whatever. I looked up a guide online describing how you can model in maya with booleans then take it to zbrush, but i dont wanna use maya lol i wanna use blender.

[LiquidMark]

that's illegal you must delete the cube first! very nice video though 👍

[nicolas]

When i use boolean it creates random edges why ?

[alejandrovallejo]

In my opinion Blender could use a more non destructive poly editing workflow. I would add an "edit poly" modifier like 3D Max where all the edits you make to an object are stored and you can recover the original object by just deleting the modifier, regardless of how much it has been modified.
Overall I still prefer Blender than 3D Max, but a edit poly modifier like 3D Max would do Blender a lot of good IMO.
