I have found that using the Cut Faces tool gives a result which is much closer to how the slice modifier in 3dsMax works.

Select your object, go Edit Polygons > Cut Faces [options]. In the Select Direction menu, select Cut Custom and check the Delete the cut faces option.
(You can then further interactively adjust the position, rotation and scaling of the cut plane to fit your slicing needs)

Now all you have to do is keyframe the movement of the planar manipulator and there you have it!

looks more interresting than the cut surfaces since it's shape is customable
,but didn't find wich node must i animate it's translation :sad:

You can select the arrow handles and keyframe that for the translation, and scale the plane of the cut face tool so you dont let any face outside.

yes it works very well with the cut faces technique , but i wanna also explore the boolean one since it's shape is customable , the problem is that i didn't find which node translate
