The Artifact?

Eamon

Howdy,

Does any one know if The Artifact can be split up in to parts or is it al one piece?

I would like to raise the central platform, those pieces that come down but right now and replace the path way but it's all one piece with the exception of the roof and the floor.

I though there was a newer seperate texture you could buy too but I cannot find on the new site.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

If there isn't a better way, you could perhaps split it into two separate surfaces, duplicate the object, then hide one half of copy1 and the other half of copy2, then move each copy so they are the correct distance apart.

I don't know how much work this would be.

To select individual polygons and create a new surface in DAZ Studio: Tools > "Geometry Editor". In the viewport, click on one poly to select it then hold Ctrl down and select any other polygons you want (or optionally you can select with a rectangle). To remove a polygon from a group of selected polygons, ALT key and Left Mouse. (TODO Also incorporate into DS notes http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/38661/ ). Right click and choose Geometry Assignment > Create Surface from Selected. (you can also TEMPORARILY hide polygons here with "Polygon Visibility" > "Hide selected", but this isn't saved with the scene. TODO UNVERIFIED-->If you right click and ‘Remove Hidden Facets’ it will permanently delete any hidden areas.) Give the new surface a name. You will then see a new material zone in the "Surfaces (color)" pane. You can set it to 0% opacity to make it permanently hidden.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Sean! I will certainly give that a try. :)
