Yep, it works if I load it onto a copy. I thought it's a bit more
straightforward.

Hey folks,
I'm looking for a free Boolean solution. I have seen ImplosiaFX
GigaBoolean, and I love it when it works. However, in Demo mode, it
always crashes, even when a single sphere and cylinder is to be
united...
So is there any normal Boolean solution for Softimage besides the
Thanks Alan,
That link you provided is a bit over my head, but I get what you're saying.

Hey guys,
We're making some shells with ZBrush and when they come in they sometimes
have non-manifold vertices, the only kind of non-manifold geometry that XSI
unfortunately permits.
Any modelers out there know any tool to find and/or fix this sort of bad

Never met this issue before. However what if you try to use filter
points, or filter edge tools?

Theres a few different ways a mesh can be non-manifold. Like, are there
more than two faces sharing the same edge? A bunch of edges sharing the
same vertex?
Can you post some pics?

You can identify them sometimes as being part of an edges which have
more than two incident faces (more than two incident faces means that
the surface is problematic.)

Alan,
I admit I haven't thought this through completely - but I'd check if a
vertex has a neighborPolygon that does *not *share an edge with any of the
other neighborPolygons?

Last week I had that Double Edge problem (check the mail list).
Guillaume saved me with that super compound :

We should look into the ImplosiaFX solution. It actually can do very
nice booleans normally with UVs and Clusters and all that even with
complex geometry.

I got it working in 2012 with some tinkering. Probably the same process to

I had to regenerate the presets or something like that. I'll check when I

If you're OK with booleans at render time then 3Delight does a nice job
of that. Might be worth looking into, the trial (2core) is free.

I understand that ImplosiaFX does have a Boolean function that puts the
regular Boolean

Too bad they don't just sell the Boolean function. :)

Hi Szabolcs,
I believe what u meant is the cache system outside of ice. If that's the case,
what it does is actually creating a cache object and of course this would not
have the Ice tree. It's just a cache... U will be able to see an extra point

I thought the Implosia boolean function was free. It's based on the
Carve CSG library, as per this discussion:

The Carve library is here: http://code.google.com/p/carve/

I'm 99% sure I was able to disconnect a constraint's input or output then
