3ds Max Animation :: Get Animation To Playback In All Viewports?

Jan 9, 2014

I am trying to figure out how to get animation to playback in all viewports. Right now it only plays back in Max default cameras but none of the camers that I have created (unless that camera is active). I have already unchecked the 'Active Viewport Only' option in the Time Configuration panel and that still hasnt allowed me to get playback in cameras that I have created.

Premiere Pro :: QuickTime Animation Codec Bad Playback?

Mar 18, 2014

ever since I updated to the newest version of quicktime, any file using the Quicktime animation codec stutters and freezes on playback.
 
This has happened before, and rolling back to previous versions worked then, but isn't working now.
 
I've gone far enough as to format the computer and reinstall everything, but the problem still occurs. Every other codec seems to work fine. I can work around it by using other export methods, but it's a problem when I need to edit previous or co-workers projects on my machine.
 
Here are my specs:

VideoStudio :: Import Sequence Of Animation Images - Choppy Playback

Nov 29, 2013

Though I am a long time CorelDraw user I've recently download VideoStudio Pro trial. The problem I am having is importing a sequence of animation images (360 total at 30frames/sec) The images where render and exported from Lightwave3D (jpg)

The only way I found to import the images was through the capture button and that worked fine. Once that was done imported VS editor and exported to several formats...

the problem is the sequence is choppy and not smooth it is a wee bit choppy the 30 frames/sec imports fine but the final play back is not smooth as it should be. If I export directly to video from Lightwave the playback is smooth. I'd render direct from LW but LW is is a wee bit wonky at time when writing direct to video format. LW prefers direct to image then you would composite in a 3rd party program

I tried VS video at 60 frames, 15 frames that made no difference at all the same unsmooth playback

How do I import a sequence of images at 30/sec so then export so that the playback is smooth.

Edge Animate CC :: How To Control Playback Of Animation Based On An Anchor In Web Page

Jul 12, 2013

Need to control playback of the animation based on an anchor in the web page. When the anchor comes into the browser viewport, it would trigger play, pause or stop.
 
And ... to control the flow/direction of the animation playback based on scroll direction.
 
The setup:
 
I would like to have the playback direction for Edge animations placed in a web page, to follow the web Surfer's scrolling direction.
 
Scrolling down or right, Animation plays forward.
 
Scrolling up or left, Animation direction plays backwards,
 
But, that's not all ... I would like to combine the scroll direction sync with ... Anchors
 
Image if you will:
 
Multiple Edge animations are placed at various positions on a web page.
 
Autoplay for each is turned off.
 
Wish to individually control the playback functions for each animation. - Start - Stop - Pause.
 
Wish to trigger their playback relative to when an associated anchor (becomes visible / invisible) is inside or outside, of the browser view port.
 
Sounding complicated?
 
I put up a web page diagram to illustrate the functions. [URL]....

Maya Animation :: Unlock The Scaling Attribute In Walk Cycle Animation File?

Feb 17, 2011

I have rigged a character and made it into a character set in which i have locked the scaling attribute , I have then saved this file. I have then referenced this file and and have done a walk cycle animation and saved this file. I have then realised that I needed the scaling attribute when I have added other parts of my scene. Is there a way to unlock the scaling attribute in my walk cycle animation file or will i have to go back and change it in the rigged file, create a new character set and do the walk cycle animation again?

Maya Animation :: Hide Non-active Animation Layer F-curves In Graph

Apr 18, 2013

My current scene has 10 animation layers for a character, and seeing every f-curve from all layers, although grey and locked, when I only need to see the f-curves in layer I'm working on is really cluttering the graph editor. My current work around is selecting my active layer in the Layer Editor every time I select a rig control. Simple enough, but a pretty inefficient way of working. I can't seem to find a setting that allows me to just see ONLY the fcurves in the active layer. I imagine some of you out there may have hundreds of animations for a single game character.

Maya Animation :: Setting Up A Rope For Animation Based On Control Panel

Jan 20, 2011

I'm trying to animate a moving rope based on simulation data. I know how to import my motion data for individual objects.I've seen lots of tutorials where one uses simulations or soft bodies with IK in order to create a rope. how to use all these features and I want the rope to follow my coordinates exactly. I was hoping I could do something like the following:

1. create points in Maya which correspond to my data points
2. connect the points with a curve
3. loft a circle using the curve as a path in order to make a rope
4. move the points. due to History, the rope position is updated

Is there a way to do something like this in Maya? I've tried, and it looks like ep points do not have key-able channel data, so I can't create animations for them separately. I'm using .mov data file imports to generate x, y, and z motion keys for the points.

3ds Max Animation :: Loop Animation - Distance Of Stripes Controlled By Curve

Aug 3, 2012

i need to do a loop animation of several stripes that starts at lets say 2units distance from each other, they separate slowly and by the end they have 15units separation, my problem is that each stripe is a separate object, so i offset their keyframes, but when i want to tweak the keys on curve editor they dont apply to the other copies. Any other way to do this simpler?

quick example on the image attached, real application on the video, video shows the animation(rendered sequential images of 1 loop then applied as texture) but with linear speed, so constant separation, i need to apply the above here, these dont only move on the X axis but on the Y aswell, while keeping the symmetry fixed on the center.

3ds Max Animation :: Motion Capture - Hands Closed On Biped Animation

Nov 18, 2013

I have a list of motion capture, those mocap didn't track the fingers so the hands are always opened. In some of these mocap I need the biped hand to be closed. I've been looking for a solution for about a day now. I think I'm in the good way which is to create a biped layer animation where the hands are closed and link the hands of that layer to the original layer. so I would be able to save that layer and apply it to every mocap animation that need to be readjusted. The only problem is that I'm not sure if it's the better way and I don't know the procedure.

Maya Animation :: Additive Layer Animation For Rapid Prototyping

Dec 11, 2010

I have an assignment for a class where part of the final project is detailing the construction of a mold for a part. The animation that I would like to do would show the build up of the part in a 3D printer layer by layer. The closest method of animating this that I can think of is unfortunately backwards.

As I would have the part and a camera facing up from the bottom of the part and would have a plane that would recede upwards in the y direction. This would reveal the part as the plane translates in the y direction.

This might be okay, but the problem is that I would like to show this from a camera on top facing down instead of a camera on bottom facing up. How I can create the look of a part being built up in this additive method?

Maya Animation :: Expression To Automate Animation Of Wheels

Oct 10, 2012

I am trying to add an expression to the standard Mudbox car to make the wheels turn when the vehicle moves in both the X & Z dimension. I have found many scripts that let me do this in a single dimension. I have found some others that claim to work for both dimensions, but at certain angles the wheels turn in the wrong direction.

My work flow is as follows:
1 - Export car from Mudbox to Maya
2 - Separate the wheels & center pivot all items
3 - Add NurbsCurves to create a rig
4 - Parenting the elements of the car
5 - Add an expression based on this web post [URL].......
6 - Test the animation

It works great when translating the car in the Z axis, but when the car is rotated 95 degrees in the Y axis the wheel will only go backwards no matter which direction the car is moved.

I have attached an MB (Maya 2013) so you can see the

Maya Animation :: Blendshape Animation From Motion Capture?

Mar 6, 2012

translate facial motion capturing data (basically 2d point clouds) to blendshape weights. I finished rigging my character and wanted to drive my blendshapes by the relative position of my tracking data, e.g. distance between corners of the mouth drive the "wide" blendshape and so on...

Hope YOU know a solution for this, I believe blendshapes are THE way to create realism in tracked animation but I was not able to find ANY reference to something like that. I'd like it to be customizable and not to expensive, so the imagemetrics faceware service won't do for me

Maya Animation :: ATOM Animation Transfer Between Different Characters

Oct 23, 2012

I have a character with animation. Another character is the same(same bones, meshes), but with no animation, 100 times larger in size and I resize the head to make the head looks slimmer. They are saved in different fbx files and I imported them into mb scenes. I select the root bone and "select hierarchy", the export options is shown below. Then select in the same way in the larger character's scene, the importer options is shown below. THE PROBLEM is: after I import the atom, the character becomes shrinked to the same size as the former one and the ratio of head becomes the same as the former one too.

Maya Animation :: Bicycle Type Chain Animation?

Dec 22, 2010

For some scenes we have a chain which is wrapped around several cogs, just like a bicycle. In this scenario we need the chain links to follow the path and retain their relationship to each other.

In other scenes we have a chain which follows along a changing path. Imagine this if you can: A heavy weight has a chain attached which goes vertically up, over a pulley and down the other side where it is attached to a lorry. The lorry drives off pulling the weight upwards. This is my challenge!

Should I individually constrain the links using a Pin constraint and use dynamics completely to keep the chain taught?

3ds Max Animation :: No Real Time HD 720p Animation In Background

Feb 28, 2012

I am trying to synch several biped characters to an HD background video I have placed in the environment slot. The problem is that when I scrub the animation slider or hit the play button, Max cannot play the background video in real time. When I hit play, the video remains frozen on whatever frame it was last on, but then updates to the correct frame when I hit the stop button.

It is pretty difficult to get the timing right on the foreground biped animation without a real time background reference. I also tried a lower res version of the background video (standard 720 x 480 DV), but that also does not play in real time. Is there any way to get max to play the background video in sync i.e., updating the frames in real time? Is there a way to improve max performance (ideal settings?)for a background video? Would a Tiff sequence play quicker than a .mpg or .mov files? If so how do set up an .ifl for playing an image sequence?

Maya Animation :: How To Get Random Motion In Camera Animation

Nov 29, 2010

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?

Maya Animation :: Merge Animation Layers

I have an animation layer that I have exported and Im trying to import it into a new file and then merge it down to the base layer.

what ends up happening is that when I do the merge i get two additional layers. and the layer with the animation stays there. and nothing gets baked. the animation stays in the imported layer.

I should be able to import/export animation layers right?

3ds Max Animation :: Correct Parameters To Mirror Animation

Aug 28, 2013

I'm making a game with TRLE (Tomb Raider Level Editor), and I often make animations. But the software I use (WADMerger) is very limited. And some animations now need mirrored versions. So I chose 3DS Max to do this! (the main animations are finished, I just need to mirror them)
 
The problem is: I can't seem to find the correct parameters to mirror my animations. If I've understood well, 3DS Max mirrors the model, and not the animations... But that's the way I'd like to do. I used the classic Mirror tool, with all possible combinations, but it won't work the way I want (by the X axis). And I haven't found any other tool to do that (but maybe I'm not using the good key words?)
 
Knowing the only keys available Position+Rotate keys for one mesh (Lara's hips), and only the Rotate keys for all the other meshes: do you know how I could mirror my animations, and not the meshes?

3ds Max Animation :: How To Get Radial Animation For Quick Freeze

Mar 5, 2014

I want to incorporate a 'quick freeze' effect and have been playing around with various mods and settings but am having some trouble getting it to behave the way I want.
 
The scene is a woodland with a small body of water in it, I want a character to fly down into the pond and touch it, causing a 'wave' to come out from the point it is touched and freeze everything it passes. I can animate the 'freeze' fine (just changing the color/density/etc on the hair mod for the grass and textures on the other objects). the problem is that it all happens simultaneously. How to get a 'radial' animation for the 'quick freeze'? It's not set in stone that I need to do this, but I'd really like to.

I'm using simple textures for the water, ground and trees with a 'falloff' material and the hair mod for the grass.

3ds Max Animation :: Exporting Animation And Skin Data

B: I have someone working on some animation for me in CAT, I have since made some minor changes to the CAT rig (increased width of chest bones, that is all). I also changed all the skinning. Is it possible to export the animation data and load it onto an almost identical CAT rig? If so how?

3ds Max Animation :: Moving Running Animation Forward?

Nov 5, 2011

I'm new to the animation aspect of 3Ds Max and I have a running cycle that is stationary but would like to figure out how to get it to move forward? I didn't use Footsteps in the Motion Panel to have a base to work with and modify it. What are my options? I have the weekend off from work to mess with it and if I have to do the hard part of moving the biped forward myself, I'll do so. Would I be able to create Footsteps and attach them to my biped with the animation I have? Or is there a system, option, etc. that I should set up in the beginning before animating that would allow me to move the feet and the rest would follow using the biped?

I've been working on an animation for a week or two and all of the sudden the file no longer plays the animation. The keyframes are there and I can scrub through them, but when I hit play it just hangs on the frame it's already on, it says it's playing (The icon changes to stop and in the corner it says "Hit ESC to stop playing", but nothing moves. I can bring it into older versions of Maya and it plays, but the only other version of Maya I have is 2008 and it doesn't like the transfer from 2011 to 2008.
