Say I have 400 boxes and I want to animate each box to move up and down along the z axis randomly. How would I go about doing that? I assume somehow with the noise modifier, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with motion and not the shape of the object.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create an animation of a group of objects being assembled, then being placed in a box. once i've assembled each object, how can I move / rotate all objects simultaneously as if one complete object?
When I try the attach command, it removes all previous animation on each individual object.
I need to animate the hide and unhide of a set of objects, I know I can use the visibility track to do this, but I have two issues with this, one, this will not hide it from the view while animating or looking at it in wireframe, which makes it difficult since I'm doing some previz and I need the object gone from the wireframe view... Two, there is an object (I bought them) that refuses to take the visibility track coming from the master object, and it does not have its own one, so I don't have a clue why it ignores it.
Also know that I can suddenly move the object out of the camera view, but was trying to see if there was something a bit more elegant than this, a script to animate the hide and unhide of a groped object would be the ideal thing, but searching the web for it didn't return anything useful.
Was wondering if there is a way of getting random camera movements? For example, i am doing a fly through of an earthquake scene and as the camera animates along the street it randomly shakes with the earthquake shocks.
I know I could animate it by hand but I wondered if there was a way (perhaps an expression) to make it more simple?
I am have a model of a scoop that I would like to animate to show motion and check for interference and clearance.I was told by a friend the best way to create and assembly is to create it as it would be built.
Doing this, I created the cylinders and added to them to the main assembly as an assembly, but I am having trouble controlling movement. I checked off flexible for each cylinder but using the mouse to try and position the scoop bucket and front frame is undesirable. I know I could apply mate constraints to check for clearances and movements, But seeing the scoop move in a regulated motion would be need. Could possibly be used for marketing purposes as well.
Is using dynamic simulation or studio better? I have heard good things about the Wasim Younis Series - book
Does his books get into how a model should be assembled/created before trying simulations?The boom moves off yellow cylinder and the bucket moves off the red cylinderA 4 way joystick controls this movement (hydraulically), is it possible to simulate a joystick to control this animation?
The blue cylinder is controlled by a 2 way valve, that steers the front frame.I know uploading a model is the best way to get fast accurate solutions, however this model is currently over 200 parts, so I figured a .DWF export was the easiest way to give you a visual representation.

Is there any easy way to match the movement of two cameras in files that contain data of vastly different scales? I'd rather not merge data. I'd like to animate the camera in one file, merge the camera into the other file and scale the movement up.

I 've added a Link Constraint to the salmon colored component which is linked to the red cylinder pin at far left. This pin has a Path Constraint to an Arc path which is orientated left-to-right and arching up. The pin at right has a line Path Constraint that moves down and to the right. Still image 01 shows the retracted position. Still image 02 shows the animation at 50%, the Fowler hinge follows nicely the path of the left most pin quite well. Notice no movement occurs in the down direction that would be imposed by the right pin - if it worked/was set up properly.
In the track view window, the Move Keys Horizontal and Vertical Buttons should restrict the movement of keyframes on the horizontal (time) or vertical (value) axis, but do not in my version of 3ds Max 2012 SP1. Work around include using the dope sheet or using the Keys > Slide or Keys > Scale Value menu items.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a keyframe where I must to upload a random series of symbols, and I do it with the script:
var myVar = Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);
var stage = sym.$("Stage");
var myAni = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_" + myVar, "stage");
myAni.appendTo(stage);
The script works fine, but, at NEXT keyframe I must load another series. The problem is that the symbol loaded in the previous keyframe is still present and the new symbol overlaps it.How can I unload or discard the previous symbol?
I have a banner I have been working on with three spinners like a slot machine. Currently I have everything hand animated to rotate the spinners to spin to one of 4 options each. What I would like is to have a button that triggers the spinners to rotate to a random ( 1 of 4 ) points over the course of 1/2 second 500ns.
Is there a code snippit that will make an object rotate to one of 4 chosen variables?
I have several animations converted to symbols and I want the composition to call one at random on load. These will be page header animations and my intension is use the same composition on each page that pulls an animated header at random when the page loads.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an animation with 5 different parts. I would like to trigger a random part when clicking on a button.
In order to do that I put labels on all parts (play1,...,play5). Then I put a code on the button on the click event :
var RandomNb=Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
if(RandomNb=1){sym.play("play1");}
It is just a simple test but it does not work : the animation play1 is always played no matter the value of RandomNb. I obviously make something wrong but I don't know what...
how can I get a Random Number in a Text by clicking a button?
For example: I have an already animated object [a dice] as button and I have a Text object located on other part of the stage and where should appear the random number from 1 to 6.
I have tried in CreationComplete and compositionReady, and in the Click option in the button, one of these two options:
Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);
var ran_number=Math.floor(Math.random()*5;
I have also tried in the dice image [button] within the symbol this [with one of the two previous codes]:
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("text").html(ran_number);
And it doesn't work anyway. Right now I'm basically lost. That would be like:
1.- start your computer.
2.- open Edge.
I have a dozen or so animated symbols on the stage and I'd like a randomly called one to play each time users click a button.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHere's my issue... lets say I have 600 different objects in illustrator (just little circles with a fill color, no stroke) and 6 different colors that these circles should be. That means, I'd like about a 100 to be one color, 100 another color, etc... Is there anyway to select all 600 and just tell Illustrator that I have these 6 colors and I want to apply them to the selected objects randomly?
View 19 Replies View RelatedWhat I want is this:
1)While selecting multiple objects,
2)a certain script is run. it has an option to input the range of the number of objects that are going to be deselected.
3)The number within the range I inputted is chosen, and the same number of objects are deselected randomly.
Is there any script similar to this?

I can't work out how to animate 2 simple images in Photoshop Extended CS6. Window/Animation has gone in Photoshop CS6. I don't want video, but the Timeline won't let me use the images. Nor can I drag anything. If I click the little right hand arrow in timeline there is nothing there like before. For example, I used to be able to click Make frames from layers in the old version. There does not seem to be a way to do that now.
