Who knew,.......I didn't ! What I didn't know was that you could use terrains as boolean objects(see attached image), I use 2 terrains as negative objects on an elongated cube to make a passable crumbling wall. Of course being modeling challenged, this had never dawned on me. This was just a quick experiment so don't be to critical,.....it's a cheesy texture and I did a bit of postwork(added noise in PS7 to the crumbling parts), but all in all, I'm satisfied with the results. Of course you all probably already knew this but I didn't,......go figure !

OK,.........here's a screen shot of the wall scene.

This does make for great crumbling surface, I've had some great luck with negative lattice too. I like the looks of that wall.

Not to rain on your parade, but neg terrains as booleans is in the manual tutorial in "how to make a lake". Sorry.

If i see this right, I did know about using the terrains on a column to make it look smashed/cracked, so I suppose this would be the same.....and I'm a totally modeling challenged person too! LOL

Smile, your dead a long time :)

Another really fun one to play with is intersection!

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

Nice job. Thanks for posting. I like to use booleans for making tunnels, caves, and mines. The painted lattice is used to carve out the tunnel out of the terrain mountain/host rock.

I like it too, AND I've done intersection, its awesome!

..you can also boolean sym lattices!
