Three dimensional figures
-
Oh great masters of the sketchup medium,
Cast your knowing cursors toward my lowly query,
I am trying to intersect a three dimensional figure with a series of parallel lines. Think of it as making a old fashioned beaded curtain. But the beads would only be at the intersection of the outline of the figure.
I created my curtain. Easy. I imported a three dimensional figure from a creative commons free use .3ds file of a human. But when I ask the computer to intersect them. I get the dreaded whirling beach ball pie plate thing.
I guess the figure itself has too many poly planes. Are there simpler 3 dimensional human models out there? Preferably posable.
I don't need loads of detail because the curtain lines are two inches apart. But vaguely realistic muscles would help.
Or is there a way to reduce the polys on the figure I have?
Why beach ball? Why?

Hi,
Perhaps Alan Fraser's FormFonts may have what you are looking for. His models are known for low poly with high visual quality. A good balance. There may be other sources. -
I will check that out.

I apologize for not answering all of your query, but I just jumped in while we wait for the actual "great masters of the Sketchup medium" to respond. I could guess that it could be a combination of hardware and software. You may have taxed either the application or your processor.
My best wishes to you.
