Question Nobody Can Answer: Can't Cut Complex Geometry in Half

randydavisaf — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 16:50:00 GMT

I need to cut a pump in half to show the internal workings. I've attached a link for the front piece here. For some reason the page wouldn't allow me to attach. I've tried booleans, and the cut tool. I've remesh, retopologize, and merge. I've made sure that the normals was facing out.

Any help is appreciated.

No one answered this question here so my solution which worked is to use the PxrDisneyBsdf shader and move the subsurface scatter, presence to 0.0.
