Boolean (Slice Volume) Issue?
#1
Hi - when I try a continuous 'Boolean Operator' using 'Slice Volume' it only seems to work on the current frame and disregards the continuous setting?

When I use 'Subtract Volume', it works as expected.

I attachedĀ a video to show the issue.

Thanks,
Max

Any ideas?

The first stage of a volume slice operation is to remove interior non-manifold geometry after welding the input. Because you're not detaching the slices, the interior geometry generated on a first cut is being welded/removed on subsequent cuts...so you're only left with the cap on the next frame each time.

Send the sliced chunks out to another event (using the "largest N" setting) so that only the largest chunk remains for the next frame's volume slice operation.

Thank you Tyson! Will give this a try
