3ds Max :: Animate Rotation Of Object When It Comes Close To Another Object
Mar 12, 2013
I am trying to animate the rotation of an object whenever it comes close to another object.
For example object 1 is the needle of a compass, I want it to point straight up whenever it comes close to object 2 (a magnet).
I need this to work regardless of where these objects are in world space. The only thing that matters is that they be next to each other; i.e. just like a real compass and a real magnet. I thought maybe I need a proximity sensor but I can't find any good tutorials on that.

I created a simple shape in Photoshop I then edited the shape using the Repoussé dialog. I simply extruded the object. The default extrusion depth setting of 1.0 was far too deep for my needs so I changed the depth to 0.07. It looked good. Next I wanted to animate my simple hexagon shape rotating about it's z axis.
So using the animation pallet, I set a key frame for 3D object position at zero and then I advanced the timeline to 3 seconds. With the roll 3D object tool selected, I edited the z axis orientation in the tool bar from 0 degrees to 360 degrees at the 3 second mark. I then played my animation and while the object spinned about the z axis, the position of the z axis was in the wrong place. the z axis was still aligned with the center of my extruded object if the depth had been set to the original depth of 1.0.
End result is it looks like my shallow depth hexagon is rotating about a point in space rather than rotating about the center of the object. Is there a way to reposition the axis so the center will be the center of the depth of my extruded object? In shots 1 and 2 you see the object with the correct depth but the wrong z axis location. In shots 3 and 4 the object has the wrong depth but rotates properly.

Using Photoshop CS5 Extended, I have an image open with the 3D Workspace.
When I click on the 3D rotation tool the red horizontal / green vertical tool does not appear.
Please see the image below, I believe this is the tool that should appear but doesn't...
Is this a setting ? Where am I going wrong ?

I know there are plenty of threads about OpenGL problems out there, but most seem to focus on OpenGL not working at all. That's (fortunately) not my issue. My problem is that I would love to use CS4 for texture painting, but 3D object interaction is just so unbelievably slow!
System: Core2@3.1GHz, Vista 64, 8GB RAM, nvidia GTX 260, driver 182.08
I notice that when I rotate an object, the CPU goes up all the way to almost 100%, all used up by the Photoshop process. And still the movement does feel far from fluent.
No compare that to any other OpenGL app, let's say Mudbox or UV Mapper. No hitch at all, everything is fluid and barely uses any CPU. So it feels like all the 3D Object interaction is rendered by the CPU alone. The CS4 system information however says behind every OpenGL feature (Supported!).

I have an object that I want to rotate different.... not sure how to explain, it, but you can tell what I want by looking at the screenshot attached. I want the rotate to align with the cylinder. I've tried reset transformations, and the home key to move the pivot. I've also tried the different settings for the rotate settings and nothing is changing this angle. Is there a way to manually set this?

i'm trying to make an object have a rotation animation.. i did this by making duplicates and rotating them different angles. When i save it and play the gif, it shows each frame show up and overlay one after the other. I want to only show one frame at a time. How do i do this? Here:

I just received a large floor plan and loads of the text is upside down. Usually I would use the TORIENT command in Express Tools although this doesn’t seem to work.
The error I get is:1 object was not parallel to the current UCS.No valid objects selected.
I’ve tried flatten, mirror & rotate but I still can’t get the text to display correctly.
I’ve attached a DWG file (2010 format) with a piece of text.

I am busy working on rigging a character ( See attachment) to the best of my abilities and am running into some issues:
I have made a nurbs curve object which I intend to use as a controller in my rig, I have however modeled my character with his arms in a 45 degree angle so I snapped this particular object to the wrist and aligned it with the geometry...here comes the fun part , because it is a controller I wanted to have a clean channelbox zo I froze transformations which neatly sets every channel to 0, it also snaps the local axis to a world pivot orientation....
I went in componentmode pressed the question mark thingy and thought it was working..but it still alters the values in the channelbox.
I basically want the same rotation axes editing capabilities as I have with joints, I will try fiddling with that next, but I can't believe that this can't be solved any simpler.

I am using Acad 2008. When zoomed very close, I can not select/highlight an object such as a line by clicking on its apparent location, instead, I have to try clicking somewhere around it so to select it. The showing line seems an shadow of the real line which is "hiding" somewhere. This usually happens after I played with a drawing (open/close/changing viewing directions etc) for a long time and the drawing seems "degenerated" somewhat. The only way I can correct this is to select all objects in the drawing and copy/paste to a brand new drawing started with a blank template. I guess a system variable governs this effect, but I do not know which one.

I'm a bit lost on why AE is doing this.
I create a null object and make it a 3d layer. I rotate it 90 degrees on the Y axis and then start rotation the X, and Z axis and they do the exact same thing. whats the deal?

Any macro that will close the Object Manager Docker then re open it again? Due to the bug with it, the objects in it disappear, or the icons for visible and print stop toggling, so I have to close it and reopen it. Tried recording one, but the recorder ignored my closing and opening. Just thought it would be handy, for when it locks up like that to press one button, rather multiple buttons and menus.

My current goal is to specify the rotation and translation of an object using a text file full of numbers. I have been told that I should import a "move" file. However, I can't seem to find any kind of reference about the move file format or how to use it. I see in the import dialog box that there is a file type called "move" but I don't know how to format the data that I put into the "move" file.
Also, I tried to export a "move" file so I could take a look at what Maya generates, but I keep getting the error "// Error: Could not save file "C:/My Documents/maya/projects/body_in_ocean/scenes/examplemove.mov".
I created a group with my object in one file, referenced it in my working file, moved the group around and set some keys in the working file, but I can't seem to export any move data. How to get this to work?

In CS5 to animate rotation of a 3D object, e.g. a sphere, I would set a '3D Object Position' keyframe at the start of the animation timeline, another at the end and enter the number of degrees rotation into the appropriate axis text box. The layout is a bit different in CS6, so I might be missing something,
but this does not work for me. If I enter a value in the rotation box the object will rotate to that position, but as soon as I press enter or move the focus to a different box the image goes back to its initial position. On further testing the same applies to translation and scaling on the animation timeline. The same behaviour occurs where the movements are input by dragging in the image rather than text input.
If this is done without the timeline the rotation/scaling etc works fine either by text input or by dragging. However, in this situation it appears that it is impossible to set a rotation 360° or greater. The number of degrees is reduced modulo 360 so, for example, 480° becomes 120° and 360° becomes 0°. If animation inputs were working correctly and this behaviour applied it would prevent animation of a full rotation because entering 360° would become 0°. Similarly for animating greater rotation e.g. one-and-a-half turns would only animate 180°.

I was wondering whether I can animate an engineering drawing of a vehicle over a longsection (X-Y Plane) of a road without expanding add-ons ($) on Civil 3D package
Senior engineers in our department aren't quite concerned using transparent template over printed plan but I reckon it's primitive and a waste of resources and time.
I've seen videos and forum posts about using scripts but I can't quite see the post I would like to see.
So what I would like to do would sum up as section drawing of a vehicle moving through a drawn polyline. No gimmicks (wheels turning, indicate scrapes) required.

I am modelling a Domestic Pump with tubes hanging out of them (I've made the model of the pump itself already), the tubes themselves is what I want to animate.
how to make the tubes using the Line Tool and increasing the thickness which would result a nice long tube However my problem is, is that how do I get to have the Line (or Spline?) directly attached to a certain point on my Domestic Pump model to make it look like it's part of it and moves along with it (and not having to keyframe it's movement precisely and all the time)? in addition, to animate it afterwards as well without it being detached from it.
If any of you are having difficulty imagining what I'm talking about, think of it as a Hoover (Vacuum Cleaner) with a Hose Pipe that needs to move freely through the use of a

I'm trying to move an object 10 px left or right depending on which button they click on.
Ex. Click Button A and a square will move 10 px left. Click Button B and the same square will move 10 px right. Click Button B three times and the box will move 30 px right.. etc..
Also is there a wiki or faq sheet of all possible actions?

I have created a rectangle object with top right and bottom left corners set to 90px. I have an image that goes inside the box in the bottom left corner. The problem is I need the box to act as if it is using "Overflow Hidden" so I can position the image in the corner and have it partially "cut off" to fit the corner but It doesn't seem to be working when I set the overflow to hidden on the rectangle.
Also (part of my previous post earlier), is there a way to add/change the CSS code generated by Edge without messing anything up?I can write this in CSS and add it if I knew where and how (although I'd rather do it within the Edge interface).

I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?

I'd like to be able to import these onto the timeline and have it play thru the images by turning them on/off at the correct time. I basically want to do the same way that you can do in Flash when importing an image sequence.

Resizing objects is a mess in CorelDRAW X6 when objects are outlined with Scale With Object enabled to retain proportions after resizing.
None of the tools dealing with outlines (e.g. Contour or even Outline itself) continue to work properly after resizing the object.
I strongly suggest to recalculate outline property values after resizing if Scale With Object is checked. Don't just do it hidden somewhere internally in the object model by applying a temporary scaling factor. Instead actually recalculate the actual property values if Scale With Object is checked.
