Hardops Boxcutter or Fluent Power Trip (which one to get?)

[@shentohendriks]

My left ear enjoyed this video.

[@blackswan6386]

the aiming feature in the fluent addon makes me interesting, i feel like i miss this in boxcutter, sad you dont covered it up, but i think fluent is the game changer become more handy, thanks sir

[@PIXOLNAUT]

I have both and although before buying them I felt like fluent would have been alot more intuitive from the documentation/videos, I ended up prefering hopscutter and found it easier to understand and work with. I also found that fluent ran a lot more slowly than hopscutter for some reason.

[@bobcoughlan929]

Fair & balanced video. I also have them both. Both developers have tangible passion for their products, and are both quick to provide personal feedback and support

[@st3b3d]

Hard-Ops has a discord as well. Also a Facebook Group. Also Ponte has a Facebook group. Id say the Hops Community is rather large.

[@DominikV235]

Fluent has Discord too.

[@henryvasquez1814]

And Josh Gambrell

[@3DRamenArt]

I have them both and i prefer fluent..its faster to mirror and do array and cut with the grid system..but i'm new to hopscutter so i can't say much beyond this.

[@real2rek]

As a fluent user I wanted to check out boxcutter, but now I see there isn't that much of a difference. Thanks ;p

[@mahabbat1960]

Oh it's very interesting theme! Thank you

[@thelastdev]

You're welcome 😊

[@dymegee]

I have both fluent and hardops but fluent is easier to grasp

[@thelastdev]

i agree

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

@@thelastdev how about speedflow?

[@bobcoughlan929]

Speedflow is also great, and extremely capable, and also developed and supported with passion. I personally found it hard to grasp, but admittedly didn’t push on with the very detailed tutorials provided by the developer. Perhaps I need to revisit those.

[@MsMidnightStories]

Yes that cloth sim is like calk and cheese !!!

[@joshua42777]

I ended up buying both, can I use them in the same project without any problems??

[@TheKevphil]

I liked your video! Anyone who uses "plethora" in a narration is A-OK by me! ;)

[@thelastdev]

Haha 😆 thanks

[@arturm6625]

Both! :D

[@RandomNoise]

excellent comparison

[@georgetherat3345]

Thanks for this. It helps.

[@AnityEx]

Fluent is by far the most fun I've had honestly hard ops haven't touched it but it doesn't look intuitive to me

[@scpk2246]

any good video tutorial link?

[@thecatfig6187]

get both, yeah!

[@3DSergo]

RIP my left ear

[@joshuadejood5234]

i thought my headsetbroke haha

[@hectorescobar9450]

I don’t like the way Fluent restricts you on manipulating what happens on the modifier stack.. also I could not figure out how to successfully export meshes after editing them with fluent

[@moonshard8690]

waht a nice video kaj, can you make a tutorial about fluent on real hard surface modeling like gun, or robot? that will be nicee..

[@thelastdev]

yes, any suggestions

[@AnityEx]

A tank o.o

[@staylifted_1232]

Hey man, great video comparison. I have a question if you dont mind. In fluent, after i make any wires or pipes i have to always go to the modifiers menu and apply them all one at a time. Is there a way to short cut that, like just an apply all buttom?

[@thelastdev]

Thanks, you can press “f” bring up the fluent menu and select “auto compile” that applys all feats at once

[@staylifted_1232]

@@thelastdev dude, your awesome 👌👏 thank you.

[@GPT-City]

Also "Convert to Mesh" on a mesh will apply all modifiers

[@thelastdev]

@@GPT-City this is try as well

[@GPT-City]

@@thelastdev thanks and good video.

[@TheKevphil]

Another comment: The YT Tut by the Fluent dev is thorough, but his (French?) accent is so heavy, he's very hard to understand, at least for me. Justin at *CG Essentials* does a nice overview, but not really a tutorial.

[@3dguy839]

how does this fit into 3d gaming I thought you had to have better or different types of squares topology etc. lol don't let my name 3d guy give you the wrong idea I don't know that much

[@thelastdev]

So this video is more so to help highlight key feature of both boolean add on for blender. But to answer your question yes topology matters, so if you get either one of these tools, knowing proper topology will help , especially when it comes to texturing your models

[@kritzstudio]

Thanks so much!

[@thelastdev]

No problem, hope this helped

[@Mr.McWatson]

wait- does boxcutter not have the same cable and pipe tool?

[@thelastdev]

Similar but fluent gets updated more frequently

[@jhonrincon7280]

@Blender Binge , Hi, What do you think about Rantools & P-Cutter (new addon)?

[@thelastdev]

Randtools P-Cutter is fine tested it out the other day! In all honesty I wouldn't recommend it. It's okay but not really the best lol I really only find use in the modifier preset tool which allows you to create presets of modifiers, and using the custom backdrop import and modifiers. It's cool for a bunch of random tools in one but me personally prefer boxcutter or fluent.

[@jhonrincon7280]

@@thelastdev I have heard that Fluent responds slower than Box Cutter, is it true? I could not see that Fluent can change the segments of it in the cylinders, is it true? It is that I seriously saw interesting options in Rantools such as the change of the camera options and the change from boolean operation subtract to union (all interactive), what do you think about it?

[@max_ed13]

sorry, i'm russian and i didn't understand . does he guess that fluent better than boxcutter?

[@thelastdev]

It’s opinion based and box cutter is more advanced but both are great

[@usmanmughalart2834]

Hi Sir, please Upload Hard-Ops tutorials Please, as i didnt get basic

[@douchymcdouche169]

Look at masterxeon1001, Ponte Ryuurui and Josh Gambrell channels on KZbin. They have tons of HardOps tutorials.

[@iksanfianka]

i have them both, and both mekes me fuzzy lmao

[@johngordon5495]

I torrented both :)

Have fun with your viruses

[@postmodernerkindergartner960]

@@DimiArt you dont get viruses from that if you're not completely stupid, but its pretty dumb to brag about this publicly. Pirating this stuff should always be the last option imho.
