Hey, i wanna know where/when is good to use combine instead of use booleans ''to combine'' i already know that people use it when they mirror something, but aside of that, where would be fine to use.
Here's a simple example. I have some simple bolt heads sticking out of some metal box. Say this is a small part of some large machinery, but big enough to use geometry instead of a normal map. The lower example is what I'd do in most cases; it's just one face and I have no concerns about texturing or baking. The boolean example cuts that single face into many because it now has holes that meet up with the bolt geometry and is quite wasteful for this situation.
