Polygons- ahh, Boolean Union doesn't work, what's wrong???
 

I am working on a model and i try to perform boolean union operation and the 2 objects just dissappear when i click boolean union... what could be wrong? they are simply objects too, and they are good in position... please help...thanx!! ;)

delete the history of both objects, and then save it, close maya, open it again, try to the booleans thing, should work, if it doesnt, pm me

in the cartoon dog tutorial, its talked about how to combine when the boolean union doesnt work

what if you are doing Boolean Difference, and that doesn't work either, then what do you do cuz the technique in the cartoon dog tut. doesn't work on Boolean Difference

boolean is unpredictable, if it doesnt work then you'll have to do it manually- line up the lines of both objects to the area you want to combine.

then polygons-> combine
then right click-> vertex
then edit polygons -> merge vertexs.
