BooleanBite — Linked Cutter Edge Aging for Blender

Make convincing chipped edges and worn surfaces in seconds. BooleanBite uses a linked

temp cutter that mirrors your main mesh in world space, so every Edit Mode change (extrude,

inset, loop cuts) updates the result live—no baking, no manual syncing.

Why you’ll love it

Always in sync — Cutter follows the object via Copy Transforms (World→World), so

moving the origin or relocating objects never breaks alignment.

Edit freely — Because the cutter shares the mesh datablock, your Edit Mode changes

instantly affect the aging.

Edge-only control — Add wear only along rims using a Solidify “Only Rim” band.

Smart modifier stack — Remesh (Voxel) → Subdiv (Simple) → Displace → Subdiv

(Catmull-Clark) on the cutter; Boolean on the main object.

Built-in presets — Classic procedural patterns (Clouds, Musgrave, Voronoi, etc.) or

bring your own Image texture.

Quick tuning — Intensity, Detail Scale, and Displace Midlevel.

One-click reset Reset Defaults restores your preferred starting point per object.

Clean exit — Revert removes all temporary data.

What’s included

● booleanbite_linked_1_0_1.zip (Blender add-on)

● README with quick start

Requirements

● Blender 3.0+ (tested on 3.x/4.x)

● Works with regular mesh objects (no Geo Nodes required)How it works (under the hood)

● Creates a hidden, linked cutter (_bb_temp) that mirrors transforms with a Copy

Transforms constraint.

● Applies Voxel Remesh + dual Subdivs + Displace to the cutter, then runs a Boolean on

your main mesh (Intersect/Minus/Union).

● Keeps things non-destructive for fast look-dev, and cleans up on Revert.

Install

1. Download the ZIP.

2. Blender → Edit Preferences Add-ons Install… → pick the ZIP.

3. Enable BooleanBite – Linked Cutter Edge Aging.

4. In 3D View, open N-Panel BooleanBite → click Generate Bites.

Controls (defaults)

● Edge Only (Use Rim Band): ON — Width 0.03

● Voxel Remesh: ON — Voxel Size 0.08

● Boolean: Intersect (also Minus/Union)

● Preset: Clouds, Intensity 0.06, Detail Scale 0.50, Midlevel 0.50

● Shade Smooth (main): ON

● Buttons: Generate Bites, Abort, Reset Defaults, Bite It, Revert Bites

Notes & Tips

● The cutter is hidden (wireframe) and won’t render.

● Because it’s transform-constrained (not parented), origin changes won’t cause offsets.● For image-based wear, switch Preset to Image and pick any grayscale map.

License

● Personal & commercial use permitted on finished renders and models.

● Please don’t redistribute the add-on itself. (If you need a studio/site license, mention it in

the listing or DM.)
