functionality and improved performance. Version 3.0 also supports versions 4,
5 and 6 of 3ds Max as well as VIZ 3, 4 and 2005.
Power Cutter tool
Power Cutter is the ideal tool for building objects that explode,
break apart, or fit together. This important new tool facilitates things like exploded views
(see image on opposite column), sectioning, assembly and
disassembly. The Power Cutter tool allows users to divide or cut up
an object in multiple pieces. Those pieces can then be pulled apart
and even animated (see video link on the column to the right).
Scripting Support
Power Booleans supports the 3ds Max scripting environment.
Power Booleans scripting provides improved integration with production
environments for game development, architectural visualization, etc. where
much of the design process can be automated. Power Booleans
scripting can assist you in automating and optimizing your design process.
Improved Boolean Performance
Power Booleans 2.0 was already fast and efficient. Now you
can not only have the reliable Power Booleans that you love, but you can
also get them about 2 times faster.
Group Selection
Power Booleans 3.0 allows the user to select a group of objects to
participate in a Boolean operation.
Improved Licensing
Power Booleans 3.0 provides simpler, faster and more convenient
licensing. Licensing can now be performed over the phone, or through
email (without the need for license files). Site licensing is still
supported.

Power Booleans Customer Quotes
David Knourek: "I have found Power Booleans to be indispensable in creation of this type of work because it not only
creates great complex geometry, but allows me to go back in and make changes without having to start over from scratch. Thanks for a great product."
Justin Yarro: "The best thing about 3ds Max is that it has Power Booleans."
Robin Lawrie: "I just did a
Boolean with about 150 windows from a building one after the other with no
problems at all, then for fun subtracted a torus from that...which I was
sure would cause it to fail.... well it didn't.... here's the object...
looks quite nice!"
David Tormoen: "Your software is excellent. A creative mind is boundless and is only slowed down by the tools we have made to understand it. "nPower Software" is eliminating the inevitable distractions for the Artist/Designer working in 3d."
Animation Magazine: "The Plug-in saves a lot of time, and I mean a lot. The incredible thing is that you may actually feel smarter when you start using this clever plug-in."
Besarioni: "Your Power Booleans helps very much. It
truly deserves the name Power"
