Use when modeling hard-surface objects in Blender (sci-fi panels, props, weapons, vehicles, robots, machined or product parts) with booleans and cutters, bevel modifiers, weighted normals, or subdivision with support loops or creases. Also when shading is broken (smears on flat faces, stretching near a cut, pinching), a bevel shrinks or vanishes after a boolean, a boolean empties the mesh or leaves holes, choosing n-gons vs quads, or making a game-ready mid-poly.

When to use

• modeling sci-fi panels, props, weapons, vehicles, robots
• modeling machined or product parts
• using booleans and cutters
• applying bevel modifiers and weighted normals
• subdivision with support loops or creases
• fixing shading smears, stretching, or pinching
• resolving bevel shrinkage or vanishing after boolean
• fixing boolean holes or empty meshes

When not to use

• choosing n-gons vs quads
• making a game-ready mid-poly
