defining a thickness for a polygon
Being such a noob i was wondering how to define a thickness for a sphere's surface and i need the inside of this sphere to be hollow. Eventually, we need to cut the sphere through animation and see the inside of it. I was wondering how to define this (where to acces minor/major radius ).
thank you for your time and understanding,
daphnisss

method 2: Create a sphere, switch to face component mode, and select all the faces of the sphere. Extrude the faces outward. ensure "keep faces together" is selected in the polygons>tool options when doing this.
method 3: User rigid/soft body dynamics... this one is a bit beyond me, but I know it can be done this.
