sup guys,
ok need some advice,
see the inside of the vac inside the tranparent plastic it needs like loads of holes kinda like a big filter,
is there anyway to model this? or should i rely on textures?
maybe a boolean?

i would be tempted to rely on texture and either a bump map or displacement map.
If you try to model 500 holes you are going to get yourself in all sorts of trouble, thats apart from the poly count if you keep to quads.
