  • Boole and mograph, do they work together

    Posted by Olly Bea on September 20, 2007 at 10:53 am

    Hey.

    Thought this was a simple project, but it turns out to be a bit of a head scratcher.

    I have created a simple boolean shape where a sphere is cut out of a cube (I will call this ‘bowl’).

    Secondly I have created some mograph text and warped it using a spline warp (found under the mograph tab) which matches the contours of the bowl.

    I want to ‘cut out’ / ‘engrave’ the text from the bowl, but whenever I use the boolean tool it doesn’t work.

    Does boolean shapes and mograph text not work together? Is there another way to achieve what I want? Any help would be gratefully received.

    Olly

    I tried it and it works fine here. Your heirarchy should be:

    Boole
    ..Boole
    ….Cube
    ….Sphere
    ..Text Object
