3ds Max: Image as cookie cutter?

In 3ds Max, can I use an image to cut into an object?

For example, can I import a picture of a circle, and then use the circle to cut into a 3d box, creating a cylinder? Thats a dumb thing to do, but its a good way to explain it.

I know a long route… I could trace a line… then extrude it, then subtract that from the object I’m cutting… but it seems like there might be an easier way.

I’m a n00b, so thanks, and sorry for the weird question!

Hi,

If your image is a bitmap then you could try using it in the opacity slot of a material and then apply the material to the the box. This works best when the image is black and white only – one is the solid part, the other is cut out (I can never remember which colour is which). Obviously you will have to apply a UVW map to the object to position the bitmap.

Hope this helps.
