3ds Max Animation :: Animate Paste Coming Out Of Tube Using Silicone / Caulking Gun
Aug 23, 2012
I am about to do an animation of silicone/caulk coming out of a tube using a silicone/caulking gun [URL] ... I need to show it somewhat lumpy as it comes out (just like in real world).
Currently I have the caulk/silicone looking lumpy and slightly irregular, with a animated slice modifier so that it appears to be coming out of nozzle, pity i can't link the movement of gun/nozzle to the slice modifier???
is this a sensible way to do it or is their a better way??

I have an imported set of models. Part of the set is a rubber straw that has a plastic tip attached on one end (please see attached image). I need to animate this bending and also being clasped (squished slightly) later in the animation.
The tube and tip models are currently body objects, I am reluctant to remodel the tube as it has text detailing across it. The tube material should have a slight rigidity similar to a garden hose (ie if you held it in our hand it bend down, but would maintain it's shape more if you held it nearer the end). I don't need to animate it too much but it needs to start coiled up, then be uncoiled, then bend slighly in the middle. I have tried making a SplineIK animation which just made the tube pivot on one end. I also tried an HI solver and this did the same. I have also tried to use the Bend Modifier but this does not seem versatile enough.
The second part of the animation I need to add two clamps to the tube and show the two clamped points squishing the tube slightly, which I am also struggling with.

I should design a Silicone model for a Breast Cancer Survivor. My problem is the Irregular Geometric Shape of silicone. I tried "Sphere"/ "Loft" commands,but I didn't get my desired outcome! I also drew the 2D base by "Spline"; however,"Extrusion" was not a good option to make it look like a 3D silicone!

I have a question about calculating the maximum tube length. Why do i ask this, because you can just measure it on drawing?
I'm building a parametric model for building simple storage tanks, and the goal is to get a complete BOM out of the model without any difficulties.
I have 4 possibilities of tube positioning on the tank. (see image)
1. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank.
2. A tube that stands in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
3. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank.
4. A tube that doesn't stand in the center of the axis of the main tank, but under an angle
These 4 possibilities can be flush with the inside of the tank or not.
Is there a easy way to determinate the longest point from the front of the tube? This longest measurement will be the length i need to get into my description for the BOM.

How do I repair a tubing constraint?
I use tubing in inventor, I always attached tube to whatever fittings I am using and everything is fine but if something gets moved that the end of the tube loses its contraint I'm ready to jump off a cliff!
Is there any way to get the end of the 3D sketch contrained to the fitting again?
Up until now I have always had to deleted the route and started over. Inventor Pro 2014

I want to build a pipe or tube frame and use tube or pipe connectors to join the pipes.
What is the best way? "Tube and pipe" or "Frame generator"?

animating grout coming out of a grout bag.I am making animations for a client that demonstrate the construction process of the fireplace systems they sell. Many of the components are required to be joined to each other with grout.
The current version of videos I've created simply shows a layer of grout rising out of the block it is to be placed upon. The animation looks as if the grout is growing out of the block, instead of being squirted onto the surface of the block, as you would do in real life.

I gotta make a short sequence of an invisible violinist playing the violin. Now I could just do it easy and move the bow back and forth, but I'd like it to be more real and have the bow tilt as well. As its moved and tilted, essentially the pivot point changes all the time.
What should I look into?

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.

I would like to animate the chair with 1 dummy and just have the casters follow and rotate when the body of the chair rotates , instead of keying the casters individually. Is this possible with constraints?

I'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 have a custom spectroscope built from polygons that I would like to animate by linking to an audio file. I have downloaded the 'bonus tools' plugin (for the 'create audio wave node' function) as well as the 'as_audioAnimator' script but I just cant make it work. I can key the poly to the output of the audio file using the 'as_audioAnimator' script, but all that does is move the polygon based on the total output volume. I need to be able to filter the audio file into differnt frequencies (just like a spectrogram) so that for each frame I have multiple outputs which I can key to my objects.

I have created three files that animate ribbons flowing through a space. I need to merge them into one file to animate. The problem that I am having is that when I try to move the object the different ribbons start skewing and going in all crazy directions. Is there a way to move the object and it maintain it's values and not morph around?

I am trying to animate a custom rig with a mocap file, I did some research and found that I could use "retargeting" for this, but couldn't find good info on how to do it. I also found that I could just add a biped and apply the .bip mocap file to it, then using constraints between my custom bones rig and the biped i could I could animate my rig. So i am trying to do that, it kinda works, but I have some problems with the arms, as shown on this image:
What I did is I used Orientation Constraints from my rig to the biped on all the bones, and a Position Constraint on the pelvis bone. As you can see the arms on my rig are behind the back on that frame of the animation, but in the biped the arms are in front of the body.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it? This is the .max file im using (2014 version - 2013 version - 2012 version - 2011 version)

I'm currently working on a advertisement for a client and I need to creat a kind of ribbon to wrap around like a present. I thought what would be best would be making the ribbon and then using a motion path add it on but also I would add a gravity field to the ribbon so to moved more like a ribbon.
Also with the motion path I have made them and connected my ribbon and for some reason it doesn't move until the last frame and just snaps to that position?

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.

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
