>real modellers dont really use booleans
Boolean is simply a mathematical expression for adding, intersecting, or subtracting volumes or areas. To say that booleans aren't useful is like saying that professional authors don’t use the letter "n" in their books—it's just a basic tool in a 3D modeler’s arsenal.
Booleans are still valuable for certain types of modeling, especially in architectural design. For example, a wall with a window opening doesn't require edge loops or a consistent poly count. However, placing windows on a high-rise using a boolean operation is inefficient; a parametric or modular approach is better. Spline-based booleans are excellent for creating urban grids and similar structures.
In hard surface modeling, booleans can be used to quickly establish a preliminary volume before retopologizing. Furthermore, CAD or NURBS-based programs rely heavily on booleans, as they are designed to define geometry using numerical data rather than just polygons. Answer cleaned using ai cuz im lazy.

Why are booleans so fucking gay?
