'Morning all . . . 8^) Thanks to all for your comments. Like I stated in my 1st post, I was just expermenting with the "Boolean Difference" again, decided to give the vortex effect a try, & it seemed to come out pretty good. So at that time I decided to try & do something with it. Actually, a person could do something really nice in this area, if only Vue's "Boolean Difference" would work with an imported object. You could create a great vortex shape with twists & bends using modeling software, then import it into vue & use it for the boolean difference with a water plane. Oh Well, we'll just have to wait a little longer for a fix, I'm sure. Heheheh. You all have a good one . . . Mark . . . ;^)
