Re: Re Re: Animated Boolean Woas

Hi Jeffrey,

If you treat the name as a group rather than an object name the it
should work as expected. i.e. you could use it to take chips out of a
wall from bullets using particles and instancing. Each decal will
still pull a chunck out of the wall and only appear on it. So you can
do the same thing by hand just by naming the inside and outside as
though it's the same object.

Cheers,

Alan.
