  • How would I create half a globe – or less??

    Posted by Marty Simpson on July 11, 2005 at 10:28 pm

    I want to createa globe – no problem…created a square map, brought it in, made sphere – bingo…

    but now I want to drive a bull dozer through the globe and knock out the midsection…so I will need three pieces…top middle and bottom…

    I can create exactly half a sphere in the zspace composite deal…then put it into a model and it goes to heck….

    Also, how can I close off the sphere once created?? I put an oval up to it in a container…but I Cannot map anything like textures to it in the zspace composite vs model container/???

    How about duplicating the existing semi sphere and then masking the parts you don’t need when the dozer knocks out the center?

    Because I cannot map any textures to the half globe I have now.

    I will try masking the three d model container with the sphere, but I have not had any luck masking three d objects…
