Quote - It does take a lot of practise to get this right. I'd go along the experimental route. Try before you buy.

Yup.. that is what I'm doing :)

What has me scratching my head, is a simple Boolean operation.

I created a cube and stretched it, I than imported a text as obj.  I made the Cube the Positive and the Text as Negative.  I grouped them together and renderd, in the hopes that the text would be carved out of the cube.  No such luck.   Is this a known issue when importing an OBJ vs using a build in primitive?
