ZBrush Boolean Controller

The Boolean Controller was created to address the issue where changing the Start, Union, Subtraction, and Intersection states is not possible through hotkeys when using Live Boolean. This plugin allows you to assign custom hotkeys directly to the Boolean Controller buttons, making Boolean operations faster and more convenient.
