- I don't agree. When I used Imagine, its booleans were MUCH better
- (SLOWER, thou, but better). Imagine's only limitation was having
- points/edges too close.
- I worked with Softimage for a year and the few times I tried their
- booleans, they worked flawlessly (I admit I did not do an extensive
- test with it, but they were MUCH better than LW -- I hardly ever get
- good results with LW. I am guessing the way LW handles normals
- as it is explained in the manual often produces unwanted results).
