Square Bottom Bottle Modeling Question

Hi Max,

first rule: do not boole. Boolean subtractions seem very intuitive at first glance, but if not used advisedly they can do a lot of harm to the mesh's topology.
Instead, you could measure the direction of a cylinder's surface towards the profile curves and blend between their closest positions.

My Jaw just dropped to the floor 0.0

Yes i just thought there must be a way without using boolean 

How on earth you can come up with such those vex lines ;))

Btw, I just watched your tutorial about creating the shampoo bottle too

Really thank for your help :D

Btw, I tried to tweak your setup but seems like the top part can't be cylinder tube.

If I reduce the Tube column to get more cylinder shape tube then it will break the mesh and if I keep high column for the tube then it will be square tube not cylinder

If you want the top to be perfectly round, just scale the grid to 0 and control its radius with the offset in the attribute wrangle.

Oh yeah it's true 
With 1 grid scale to 0 I can have top part cylinder and bottom square

Amazing ;D Thank you
