3ds Max :: Animate Vehicle Driving To Point In Scene
Oct 24, 2012
I need to animate a vehicle driving to a point in my scene and then when it stops have two characters get out and pull an object out of the back and leave that object. The characters will then get back into the vehicle and leave the object behind. I know that if I select and link the object to my vehicle it will stay in the vehicle and follow it wherever, but once I leave it behind how do I make it stop following the vehicle?
Trying to animate an scene with a boxing match, and Im trying to figure out how to make the character deformation happen without using reactor if at all possible.. example everytime a punch is landed I want the character skin to deform from the other character's mesh(make sense). but if I can make this happen from viewport instead of relying on reactor it.
I have 10 scenes in my animation and I want to control it by using keyboard arrow keys. For example if i press right arrow key the scene go forward and when i press left arrow key the scene moves backward.
I am trying to achieve an effect of tire tracks on water, as if a bus had just driven over it. I'm having a hard time making it look effective....at the moment the best i can do has turned out looking more like snow tracks more than anything else...
would anyone have any ideas on how i might achieve this effectively? Its supposed to be for a large poster so it has to look pretty good. I hope someone might have some ideas .
I have and element and what I'm trying to do when I click on this element, it starts to play reverse the timeline for 1 sec and after that it continues to playing the timeline from an other point.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to start/load the animation based on a specific point in its timeline? The animation I am creating is a parallax animation based on mouse position and I am trying to load it in the middle of the animation and based on the users mouse position will play forward or backwards from that point.
I'm working on a project that requires some interaction controlling video. I've used the piece of code from this thread [URL] and it works like a charm. But I'm looking at option of using youTube video for the same interaction.
So on creationComplete, I've added,
var vid = sym.$("holder"); vid.html('<iframe width="640" height="360" id="video1" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/o2l_zZOpSxk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="0" controls="controls"></iframe>');
How can I drive parts from an assembly level without using Excel spreadsheets. I know it is possible using iLogic to do it, but I can't figure out how to do it "automatically".
For example, we would like to drive a conveyor roller without the use of a spreadsheet. I figured out I could simply insert user-driven parameters in the top-level assembly and drive the parts with the parameters in the assembly, but it is telling me it would cause a cyclic redundancy, so I cannot do it this way, then I thought about iLogic.
It is currently working OK, but I have to enter in the iLogic rule to manually change the filenames in the rule for it to work.
Why? Mainly because we use a prefix to our parts and we sometimes use Autodesk Vault, sometimes not (depending on the project).
Here is my example;
I have a part named "Tube.ipt", "Bearing.ipt", "Spring.ipt" and "Tige Hexagonale.ipt" along with this code in the assembly level (Rouleau.iam):
As you may see, I would have to change "Tige hexagonale:1" every time we use this assembly on different project for it to update properly. I would like to automate it a little bit more.
How to make it work in iLogic:Search for something that has "Tube" in it's filename in this assembly, then store it into a variable called "Tube" Repeat this step for "Spring" and "Tige" Then replace "tige hexagonale:1" by the variable or something like this...
I would like to make an External Rule that would make an iLogic Internal Rule (with the same code every time). I guess what I really need is a way to drive an Ilogic rule into every part that does not have the rule in the part already.
I know what you’re thinking and just using the External Rule doesn’t work for what I want to do. I need it to be an iLogic Internal Rule.
How do I make multiple views (Front, Top, Side & Isometric) when driving an assembly constraint? I want to be able to show an assembly moving from different perspectives all at one time.

I have a multi body part that I componented into an assembly. I am trying to get the assembly parameter in this case, "Height" to drive the parameters in the part model. I think I am using the right code but I get an error when I run the rule.
I'd like to drive the position of workpoints by coordinate values defined in Excel. Inventor allows me to initially create them using values from a linked spreadsheet, however the positions do not change when the spreadsheet is updated. Is there another technique that could do this?
I have a new truck that I'm building and I've seen some places that have some kind of javascript that allows them to just select different colors for the vehicle. I however have no idea how to do this short of heading at it with a the paintbrush tool. I'd appreciate insight into this and if not is there a possibility that someone has a single color photo of a 96 s-10 pickup that I could use the paint bucket on.
1 I tried to add a vehicle to the resource kit (attached FBX). Used the resource kit manager .. it almost worked .. final object did not appear, I got an emoty box where the truck was supposed to be.
2 then I tried to copy materials from an existing vehicle max, merged the 2 models in one max but could not find a way to 'copy' a material from source to target .. source appeared to be 'loacked' like a group
3 then I tried to make a copy of the toyota dyna truck - but scaled up a little (120%). Managed to scale up object but result in road model had the original scale??
Basically, the toyota dyna truck is too small. I need a real size delivery truck in Civil View or I need to be able to scale up the dyna truck. Steps on how to add a vehicle - including material settings would be useful.
Note.. in 2 and 3 .. the existing vehicles in max files, seem to be grouped somehow - what is used? How do you ungroup it? (it is not a 3ds max group)
I am curious to know how other people create and produce vehicle graphics. I have had a tremendous amount of difficulty using CorelDRAW X5 for producing large vehicle graphics such as city busses and large tractor/trailer rigs and box trucks.
My basic workflow is to begin with a vehicle outline and actual measurements, create the full scale artwork, slice the art into 53" wide panels, and send to the printer RIP as PDF-X3.
For smaller projects this workflow works adequately, however, larger projects become such agonizing hassles I want to take up a new career. Due to the huge amount of lost time due to corrupt files, repeated crashes, software reinstalls, tedious work-arounds, etc. I feel I have no choice but to switch to a different software, most likely Adobe Illustrator.

What is the best workflow to create vehicle animation path for Civil View extension, when these path segments are not exported from Civil 3D, for example in intersections like in the picture of a simple case I attached. Do you create arcs in AutoCAD and then import them in scene, project them to road region surface and connect them to split corridor base lines, or you draw them directly in 3ds Max 2013?
Correct way to find makes and models of cars in the vehicle template library.
I'm trawling through the content folder and it takes me about half an hour to find the vehicle I'm after. I have tried using connect but with no success.
I want to make a 4 wheel vehicle rig using the Carwheel reactor. I want to do this as a means of learning how to use 3ds Max, and have completed many tutorials. I do not want to use plug-ins. It seems nobody uses the Carwheel to any extent. I do not want a simple car rig. I want to use the Carwheel reactor as it was meant to be used. I want to realistically steer and follow terrain with the rig. Am I being realistic? Is it even possible?
version 2014 It looks like the axle of vehicles is provided for wheel rotation only.I could be wrong, but it looks like plan rotation (z axis) is not provided.Or can it be applied manually at path curves?
I am designing a piazza that most types of vehicles need to circumnavigate. On a scaled location plan, I would like to draw the scaled turning circles of cars and lorries - especially emergency vehicles.
I have the Metric Handbook beside me which has typical 90 degree turns drawn but it is not obvious how they were drawn in the first place.
I have all the vehicle dimensions that I need, I just need to know how to calculate and draw the geometry.
Any file they could share for the front, side and/or rear panels of a motorhome. Failing that, How I could adjust to create one (e.g. bosy panel from van/truck or complete drawing of motorhome).
1. crolling like where you have buttons for example or press on a navigation bar tab, then it goes to that specific pace of the page, for a one page website, for example some sites you press on contacts and gose down to the bottom of the page where the contacts place is located, not opening a new link.
2.Second, navigation bar, where it fallows the scroll as it gose down, like for example when it is html the object is fixed to the top, and when you scroll down it will fallow it it,
3.I need Parallex scrolling where you can have the timeline or animations run while you scroll in the meantime and have animation running all the time, for example the infographic site where the bees are fluying but still have seperate animations while you scroll
4.I would also like to ask if like looping each animations sperately, not looping the whole timeline, can it be possible to loop an animation while you have all the interactivity witht he site like looping seperately all the time, without interfeering with all the other animation
5.I also are wondering if you can create multiple pages on one animate project, like multiple pages with html
I just moved on to edge animate from html, and html was also beirf learn for me and mostly i was doing design work, and i thought getting out of graphic river and moving on the theme forest.
I want also all the five things to work on one aimate project.
Is it possible to get the text color to FadeIn or the opacity of the text color to animate with the lines of code below? I simply want the color to fade in when the mouse rolls over the text.
I'd like to animate snow falling. I assume Edge would be able to do this. Will it be possible to add it as a background? Or would it just be easier to add the effect to the top graphic portion of my page? I've used Edge back when it first came out. But havent' touched it in a while. I'm now working "in the Cloud". and I do use Dreamweaver.
I am including an animation I built using Edge Animate into Dreamweaver. I can't use an .oam file because of some other JavaScript I'm using so basically I'm limited to an .html file with all my edge includes java, and other supporting files.
when I preview in browser within dreamweaver. However, when I upload the page to my domain, my animate HTML file won't work. Here is a link to the current site in progress. (The first green box top left is my link to my animation). URL....
I have 280 extracted frames from a 12 sec. mp4 clip. I've cut-out the main object to get rid of the background and saved all the files as png. How can I bring this to a HTML5 Animation to place it on a page that will be showed on ipad-air (no animated gif and no flash)
What the best way is to animate a progress bar with an increasing %. Seems like you would specify a variable set to 0 that is then incremented via javascript while an animation is going on.
