Sorry if it's OT, but I thought these ICE booleans are worthy of your time.
Pretty interesting and inspiring stuff.

I think it is maybe in Implosia IFX plugin.

Re: ICE Booleans video
As I recall, the boolean operations are based on the open-source Carve CSG library. There was a free version of Implosia early on and you might still be able to get it. I also made a custom ICE node based on Carve but I never packaged and released it since Implosia was available. If someone needs it I could dig it up and make it available at some point.

Re: ICE Booleans video
If it will not be a problem for you, I would love to check yours. I am having troubles with the built-in boolean functions. Every time I use booleans I get ugly results far from what I want it to be.

Re: ICE Booleans video
Sure, but it will take me some time. Maybe you could try the free version of Implosia first. I believe it is here: https://www.si-community.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1760

Re: ICE Booleans video
Thanks I tried it again with no luck. Actually I never get it to work and that's why I ask for your compound. All the shatter tools work but the GigaBoolean compound doesn't work for me
