 Subject: Booleans


 

 I've got a client who need to some how "build" buildings as the flythru
occurs. They have been using shape animation and lattices, and some simple
Booleans for some of the simpler objects, all looks great.

 The client likes the boolean look and everytime they attempt to boolean
heavier buildings, it bombs. They have tried them in a separate scene, same
thing.

 

 So, I was wondering if there we're any scripts or the like that revealed poly
faces from the bottom up (im no programmer) or if you knew of any cheats at all
which will allow me to "fake" the boolean look.
