Hi All

Is there anyway of making a round hole in an object just using the command set in Dark basic/physics so that an object can fall through it.

Dark Basic/Dark Physics doesn't do CSG - i.e. taking one object and subtracting another.

You'd need to create the object in a modelling package and bring it in as .X or .DBO format object.

Alternately, you could build an object out of triangles and leave the hole where you want it - I think it's easier the external package route!

Ho! drat.

So I have to build a cylinder out of many parts or get 3d package, as the one thing I was hoping to do I can't ,which was drop a sphere through a cylinder, in dark physics.

Well would buy it, if it became available a command set that hollowed out the objects.

You could make a cylinder out of many boxes, like planks around a barrel. Get enough planks and you won't get too many sharp edges.

CSG in DBP would be very interesting... 8)

There are a few CSG commands already in DB Pro. They came out a while back. Some demos were included in upgrade 5.8 or 5.9.

Here is a tunnel x file. You will have to texture it, though.
Although you can scale it, you can also clone it and place
them end to end. Sorry I did not make any curved segments.
It was done a long time ago.

I think I used 3D Canvas Pro but it was a while back, so I'm not sure how I did it now.
