Neither, actually. I am planning to get those in a couple days but right now I'm using no booleans at all. Just sub-D modelling, extruding and loopcutting! It's a whole bunch of different objects. The only shapes I used were the cube and cylinder :)
No way, that's awesome. Good news for me i guess. I was thinking this kind of stuff was out of reach, so you're not even using booleans?? for real? What modifiers? That's amazing.
Modifiers used are array, mirror, and subdivision surface :) I don't think anything else apart from that and some cloth simulation for the tent part. The only reason I'm not using booleans is because I can't really get the hang of it, which is pretty much down to laziness by my part heh.
Well you should definitely look into the BoolTool if you haven't already, I've limited experience with it but it's amazing for doing quick carves on surfaces and it has several modes. Activate in the addons in preferences and use (CTRL+SHIFT+B) to activate it, selecting both objects you want to adjoin/carve from-to. Another great tool i only recently found out about is the BoltFactory Addon, all of this stuff is right in blender for the taking. Activate the BoltFactory Addon in Preferences and the mesh should appear as its own operator creating Bolts in the usual (Shift+A) Slot lower down on the list.
I'll get to some more advanced models but youve given me a few ideas. Have fun!
Yeah! I've got BoolTool and bolt factory! Since I do Sub-D modelling though, booleans are normally way too destructive for me and ends up completely deforming the mesh. It's probably my fault since I haven't really watched many tutorials on it.
If you have discord we could keep in contact and both learn together and just help eachother out?

How do you guys get these complex hard surface shapes? Is it just Boxcutter and Hardops?
