Could it be it's the render boolean feature in Lightwave you're looking for instead of clipmaps?

Paul,

AI Cut is neat, but it doesnt cut 'through' an object, creating interior surfaces... The more I think about it, the Lightwave implementation is probably a rendertime operation - similar to XSI's BoolTrace. Just works with images...

        Folks,

        I'm sure this has been discussed before on the forum, but a
        search turned up nothing.

        Lightwave has a clip map function that lets you use an alpha
        or black and white image, to cut through an object its mapped
        to.  Its not a simple transparency, it carves through the
        object so interior surfaces render.

        Back in our LW days it was a quick way to create an extruded
        logo from an image.  Is there any way to achieve this in xsi?

        Thanks in advance
