New course! Hard Ops and BoxCutter

 The Blender community is going Sales-crazy! I picked up a copy of True-Sky for my youngest child for just five dollars! Blender Bros is also running a sale. I picked up their Hard Ops and Box Cutter course. I had intended to buy this about four months ago but ended up putting it off.

So here's the start of the next Blender School series.

Boxcutter

BoxCutter
Enable by selecting the left-hand menu button or entering "Alt+W."
Then, bring up the menu with "D."

HardOps Help Menu



To bring the menu up, select "Shift+Tild".

This is a super-convenient copy of the Main right-hand menu, available in your viewport as a menu box. The course will make use of the Workflow and Sharpening panels.

Under Workflow, use nondestructive most of the time. In destructive mode, Booleans are immediately applied, so you can't tweak the placement or results of the cutter.

Under Bevel/Operators, you might select HN/Hardened Normals for a more satisfying bevel.
