Boolean Box

BooleanBox is a little tool that allows booleans modeling with a real time topology actualization. It can be also used as an automatic retopology tool.

Simply choose LiveRemesh, and/or LiveRetopo and perform the desire boolean operation.

Boolean Box has been updated, working now for Maya 2017 to 2023+ .
