Node Clip Mesh With Mesh - anticto/Mutable-Documentation GitHub Wiki

Function

Removes the part of a mesh section that is completely enclosed in a mesh volume. It only removes the faces that fall completely inside the cutting volume, along with the vertices and edges that define only faces that are deleted.

Use Cases

Remove geometry from occluded parts of the base object, like the head when wearing a full helmet. Remove the same geometry from many different child objects, across any LOD, like when a jacket uses a volume to remove any shirt, torso, hoodie, and accessory that is under it, hidden from the player, keeping the visible parts intact.
