I've been trying to use some boolean modeling techiques but have been having problems rendering boolean subtractions. It appears there are noisy artifacts in the area of a boolean subtraction. I'm looking for help in figuring out how to fix this.

Here's a very simple sample. Create the letter A with a round bevel. Subtract a box from one of the legs. Render with ULTRA setting and you still have noise in the area of the leg.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or help how to fix.

 

Right click the object and select bake to polygons. That should solve your problem. (in German version its 'zu Polygone Verschmelzen')

Yes, i think Mazak has the solution. I had some boolean problems with texturing and e-on support recommended baking to polys.

Mazak, Thanks a bunch for the help. It works great :-)

 

Boolean operations are never perfect, it's not the rendering that is bed, it's the geometry produced but the operation. Some apps have higher quality than others, but it's never perfect, even when baking to polygons, although it does look a lot better.
