  • boole object not creating edges/polygons

    Posted by Dan Fredley on September 9, 2010 at 11:49 pm

    I have an object that is being revealed by an invisible animated object (using and A intersect B Boole object), but it does not automatically create sides with polygons making my object look hollow. How do I cause it to fill in the empty sides?

    with A Intersect B both objects will already be invisible (except where they both occupy the same volume) – you just have to put the texture you want the face(s) to have on animated object.

    Brian, I didn’t understand, could you explain me a bit more about that problem?

    making the animated object invisible is not necessary as it will be invisible anyway (inside the boole) until it intersects with the other object. By making the moving object invisible as well you get Dan’s problem – when intersection happens the object shows up but the face(s) that should be defined by the invisible moving object don’t – because they are invisible – if it was not made invisible to start with it will work as expected.

    Now I get the logic, sadly when I take off the visible cap from the sweep nurbs, the other object dissapears completely for some reason 🙁

    Thanks a lot 🙂

    it works here (at least what I think you trying and in R16) what version of C4D are you using?

    I’m still in R14, I think is time to move on hahahah

    (At the end I made the cap frame by frame to accomplish the deadline hahaha
