3ds Max Animation :: Animate Wires Stretching (reeling Out From Hoists)?
May 11, 2012
I am looking to create an animation of a box being lowered through an opening into a cylindrical vessel. The box is held/manipulated by three wires (one each side that each branch/split into pairs, and a single central wire) from hoists on beams above. There are connectors between the wires/hoists.
There are points where a couple of wires are taught and the other is loose. I also need to add a flexible rubber pipe to the box and hang this over the opening and out of the vessel.
To animate this properly should I be looking at kinematics (a topic I have not looked at yet) rather than just key framing?
How do I animate the wires stretching (reeling out from the hoists)?

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

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.

I have this button that, when clicked, opens a new URL - window.open("http://www.xxxxxx.xxx", "_self"); - after playing a 1000 ms animation. The problem is that it changes to the new URL too soon, before completing the 1000 ms. I tried a setTimeout, and it worked great, but it's not so elegant as it depends on the user's computer/net speed...

I created a simple banner with a couple of basic animations. I never even touched any code. Only basic images are used, no triggers, no symbols.If I preview within Animate, everything works fine.
As soon as I hit ctrl+enter to preview in my browser, everything just stays blank. I checked in multiple browsers, all have the same result with no errors in console.Autoplay is turned on.

I am a graphic designer and I work on w7 64.I find the latest version of Edge Animate.I saw several tutorials, amongst those showing how to make a loop on an animation. I proceed as explained in the preview on my browser (Chrome), the animation runs, but no loops.In fact, I tried other interactions and other triggers : nothing of these works there!

I need to create a mask that will hide the elements as they rotate out of a free-floating window. I have an animation currently that sits in a circular window and plays when the page loads. The screen shot below is from the page in Muse with the .oam file playing. The images are PNGs with transparent backgrounds so the animation plays over the background images.
What I'm trying to add is an iris effect I've animated in Edge Animate. I haven't been able to hide the edges of the vanes in the iris during animation. I've tried to cut and paste code that I've found on this forum and others but I don't know much about coding and I haven't had any success. This screenshot is shortly after the animation starts to play as the vanes rotate out of the window:
Basically, I need to mask the iris animation to keep the images from showing outside the circular frame. I've found that the clipping tool in Edge only does square or rectangular masks. I have a PNG that I can use as a mask but the coding has really got me flummoxed. The mask:

I just made my first edge animate project and made a progress loader animation. Works well.When i placed the code in the site the animation was always on, so i've hidden the item in css
#Stage { display:none; }
When my animation is needed i'm making is visible however the animation has already been started in the background so wont begin the right place. I'm wondering should i stop the stage autoplay in the config and then start the animation in JS? If so how can i go about starting the animation via JS.
I've been playing around with AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback but cant seem to get it to play.

I created an animation for a landingpage on my website(built with wix.com).
My problem is, that wix.com has got no folder-organisation or upload-function and my Edge animation has *.html, *jscript and *.jpeg/*.png files.
In a Wix.com-forum, I've found a response, that said, that I should use external storage-websites for my files.I did so and put these files in my dropbox/public folder, copied the open links in the *.html file like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
<title>Ani1</title>
<!--Adobe Edge Runtime-->
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"
[code]....
But, when I copy the code into my wix-page-html-app (for not-wix-user: a small field to insert html-code),nothing happens...
