Alexey Vanzhula has announced that his Flux 1.0, a precursor to his Soft Boolean tools, is now free for Houdini 16.0 and 16.5. According to Alex, “Flux has a little worse topology in comparison with the modern SB, but it works and it’s free!”. Download it from Gumroad.

Soft Boolean is a part of my Direct Modeling toolkit for Houdini:

In comparison to Flux Soft Boolean has:
1. Clean topology
2. Ability to create UVs
3. It is faster
4. It is much smarter in complex models
5. And others

Also Direct Modeling has:
1. Geometry Library
2. Insert Mesh
3. Polygonal Modeling toolset
