HardCuts – voxel based hard surface modeling tool (Alpha released)
Hi everyone,
Today I released the Alpha version of a tool I’ve been developing called HardCuts.
HardCuts focuses on fast hard-surface concept modeling using voxel booleans and parametric shapes.
The idea behind the tool is to make workflows like these very fast:
• blockout shapes
• boolean cutters
• base mesh creation
• arrays and generators
The geometry system is based on voxels / signed distance fields, which allows very robust boolean operations and flexible shape exploration.
One workflow that might be interesting is using HardCuts together with other tools like Blender: hard-surface models can be sent into HardCuts, modified using fast boolean operations, and exported back.
The Alpha version was released today, so things are still early and evolving.

Feedback from artists would be very valuable.
