Default Re: Making SE4 ShipSets with Moray

Hey, I could help you with the CSGs.
Okay, first, make a new scene, light, camera, etc. Next, make a cube and a sphere. Leave the cube where it is, and move the sphere to one of the corners of the cube. Now, make a CSG group (the button has a little U on it). Put the cube in the CSG first (order IS important). Next, add the sphere to the CSG. Change the CSG operation to "Difference". (The combo selection box) Texture it all, and render. You should see a cube that has a corner carved out in a curved manner. Next, try "Merge". Finally, try "Intersection". Now, re-order the CSG group so the cube is second in the list. Go back through each of the operations.
CSGs are very good tools to use for making about anything.

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
