6. Boolean Operations
• The Boolean objects combine two other objects by performing a Boolean
operation on them: union, subtraction and intersection. To perform the operation
select the first object (operand A) and go to ‘compound objects->Boolean' select
the operation:
What the operation does? Let's understand it with an example with 2 spheres
but if you had read the splines tutorial you know it :-) The original spheres:
and click the second object (operand B):
after the Boolean operations:

7. Scatter
Now create a sphere (bigger than the cylinder). Go
to compound objects and select the cylinder. Select
‘scatter', and pick the distribution object: the sphere.
create a cylinder:
apply a taper and a bend modifier:
