When I was looking over the features list I saw Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). Is this where you can combine 2 or more objects together so they act like one (if that makes any sense ). Or have i gone completely mad?

just ripped this info off a website after using google

"Constructive Solid Geometry is the process of building solid objects from other solids. The three CSG operators are Union, Intersection, and Difference. Each operator acts upon two objects and produces a single object result. By combining multiple levels of CSG operators, complex objects can be produced from simple primitives.

The union of two objects results in an object that encloses the space occupied by the two given objects. Intersection results in an object that encloses the space where the two given objects overlap. Difference is an order dependent operator; it results in the first given object minus the space where the second intersected the first."

It's called Boolean in 3dsmax. It runs pretty instant in max. So I'm guessing it's no major calculations. Would be cool for blowing up stuff.

i think the proper term for the idividual actions is boolean, but the general concept is called CSG.

this thread (http://www.realgametools.com/yabbse/index.php?board=14;action=display;threadid=6039) on the RGT forums starts about CSG but quickly deteriates. Lets hope that never happens here.

This means that you can blast a hole in the wall and make a tunnel into another just like red faction (Geomapping?)

yea exactly!

The way they did it was the they had a blast object attached to the bombs. So then they performed the intersection on the Level with the blast object and the level losts parts like that.
