model slicing

[Simon Hutchinson]

How about using the model in a boole and animating a stack of slices into it so that the boole only reveals the part of the slices that fall into the models shape?

thank you. Is there a way to get the slices to stay the correct shape from the boole as the move away from the boole shape. (eg animating the mograph mod to bring slices together, but keep them looking correct as they come in?)

Thanks again

I figured it our and I thought I’d let everyone know:

1st create the object mesh you’d like to slice.
2nd, use mograph cloner to make slices using planes or thin cubes.
3rd, use a boole to cut the slices to the exact final-state you’d like them to be in.
4th, turn the cloner/bool object into a editable object (press c).
Then create a new cloner and add the mesh slices to it and increase the number of clones to the number of slices.

now you can do all types of neat tricks with mograph to the slices!!!

The trick for me was realizing that multiple objects could go into a cloner.

Thanks all.

Michael –

Thanks for sharing your discovery. So often people on the forum find solutions and never come back to share them either because they are too busy using what they discovered, or they just forget… so thanks again for taking the time!
