Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Booleans decided to piss me off :D

Hi there, so I was wondering if anyone knows what to do in this case. I shift-selected all the objects and just clicked booleans - difference. I am trying to carve out the rocks from the brick but for some unknown reason the booleans doesnt like the idea of helping me here. Pleaase help

Try one object at a time. Also, if you can, try using a newer version of Maya - 2015 greatly improved boolean operations.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I find that combining the objects being cut out - deleting the history then doing the Boolean on the object you want to cut into.

Maya does not like history on the objects your want to Boolean
