THE PLACE FOR ALL THINGS BRYCE - GOT A PROBLEM? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE


Subject: Too much information

When I connect a positive primitive to a negative primitive, one can still see the part that has been cut away. Now, this renders ok, but in wireframe mode it's still there. Is there a way to turn it off? I doubt there is, but if you don't ask, you don't find out.

Once the two primatives are grouped, hit the "Convert Button". The wireframe will be booleaned also.

You can continue this procedure by making the converted obj to POS, then NEG boolean it again. Once each step is converted the results are the same.

And just where, might I ask, is this cute lil convert button...is it, in fact in Br5.5, or does one have to spend money to get Converted like in most relegions...heh heh heh...LOL.. ...

It is presently only $27 to get converted over at Daz.

Oh that I had 27 bux...I'm a senior on a fixed income and that's my food budget for a week...not as cheep as it would seem for the "impoverished" amongst us...being po' folks is the only reason I can spend so much time online....got nuttin' but time to spend.. ...

Actually bobbystahr, I did take the inititive and upgrade a while back when it was only $19 (I think) So I do indeed have that little 'convert' button. :-)

Thanks ICM, I knew about the 'c' button but it didn't click....(my brain that is....having a lot of problems with that lately. :ohmy: When one gets past 50 life is supposed to start again, but for me I'm still waiting for that to happen... :lol: ........jeez, I don't know why i'm laughing. 😕

I've heard 60 is the new 30 and for me that's baaad news as I had no brain at all at 30...all lower portion organs at that age I'm afraid....least they all still work at 60 so maybe there's hope for my love life...LOL.. ...

But once you collapse a mesh you cant un-collaps it anymore right? Doesnt that mean its rather limiting?

Yes it is, but i'm usually good at pre planning in Bryce, so i won't bother me too much. Would be good if Bryce, in it's next carnation, will have a better solution.

While the mesh is uncollapsed (or unconverted) you can still move the objects doing the cutting, combining or whatever - or the object being cut or combined to - but once converted, it's easier to see what's going on but there's no going back...

Unless. like me, you saved every few moves or so... under a differently named bryce file, like "MakingACup1.br6" and "MakingACup2.br6" and 3 and 4... etc

Makes for a lot of files but can be life-saving sometimes.

Measure your mind's height
by the shade it casts.
