Title: DEcombinate suggestion Post by: blob on April 03, 2011, 07:28:28 PM Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to implement another DEcombinate option, namely the opposite of max mode which would show only the parts that are not common to both formulas?

=========== FORMULA TAB =========== ... "DEcombinate" hybrid: Here you can combine two formulas, in the "min" option (shown in the first formula tab) the formulas are both complete, "max" excludes both formulas, meaning that the combined object is only where both formulas were present. The "avg" option is maybe not very useful, it averages both DE's in a logarithmic way, what is near to the "min" option. The first formula represents one of the two combinated formulas, so you can't use an alternating hybrid for it. The second formula is defined by formula 2 to 6, that represents an alternating hybrid.

I think I have read (and experimented with simple shapes) correctly. In Min mode we see both objects/formulas entirely. In Max mode we see only the parts that are common to the two objects/formulas. And what I was suggesting is the opposite of Max (or Min minus Max) where we could see only the parts that are not common to the objects and whose interest may lie in getting a view from a hollow inside. Does this make sense or am I just not getting it?

Would you consider adding this DECombinate option Jesse since we now can render the inside as well? Title: Re: DEcombinate suggestion Post by: Jesse on February 02, 2012, 06:21:46 PM The new "Ia" (invert max) method is not exactly what you proposed, but you can hollow one bulb with the first formulas bulb.
But to look really inside, the inside rendering is much better because with above function you see only the first bulbs surface from the inside.
