3ds Max Animation :: How To Assemble Outdoor Fireplace System
Jun 25, 2013
I am making an animation of how to assemble an outdoor fireplace system.
I have a mortar bag modeled that will be used to apply mortar to all the areas where different components are joined to each other.
I have figured out how to use a cylinder and pather deform to make the mortar come out of the bag.
After the first section of mortar is applied, how do I move the the mortar bag by iteself to the next area tha needs mortar?
There is an "attachment" position controller applied to the mortar bag which tied to the leading edge of my mortar bead.
I'm not sure how to disassociate the mortar bag with each line of mortar that gets put down and then let the mortar bag move around the scene to the next area.

For one of the students first projects I would want them to make a solar system. Of course there would be spheres representing planets with pivot points in the center of the system (the sun) and some would revolve slower and some faster around the sun. Now I was able to create the planets and set the pivot points in the center (the sun) and have them rotate but I'm trying to take this a step further. I really want to create moons that would circle the planets.
That's where my problems starts. I have a planet that I want a moon to revolve around. I was able to change the moons pivot point to the center of the planet but the pivot point remains there while the planet circles the sun. What I need to do is have the moons pivot point locked onto the planet that way if the planet moves, then the moon moves along with it. In this case, the moon will be rotating around the planet as the planet rotates around the sun.

I currently have a model made of a few different meshes (head, body, upper/lower arms etc...) which I have linked together. I primarily animated by rotating the joints of the model, but it just isn't cutting it anymore.
Is there anyway I can create a bone system that uses the meshes as the "bones"? I'd like to be able to do that so I can change the models for every part of the robot seperately in my game by changing the mesh associated with the bone. I've tried searching google and youtube but I'm not really sure what to search for.

I've created a mech robot and now I want to create a rig for it. But the problem is, that none of the joints are 'ball and socket joints'. So the joints can only rotate in one dimension, like a typical mechanical joint. My first solution was simply locking two out of three rotation axis for the bones and this works fine for FK animation. For IK animation however, it doesn't work. The locks are simply ignored.Is there any way to lock a rotation axis for an IK bone system?

Uhm, whenever I render I only get white outputs. I'm used to use Revit, and have forgot how to use autocad. But this project relies on making a couple of renders in Autocad.
How do I get useful outdoor as well as indoor renders?

I have created a rendering of an outdoor structure with some lights. There are lanterns on the front of the stone columns which I have placed lights in but no matter how I try to adjust them, the desired affect of having a soft glow in the lanterns can not be obtained. The light I created inside the structure is working fine. It's also funny how when I just view the model in Realistic mode the lights are seen and the give a soft glow like I'm looking for. But when I render it these lights might as well not even be there.

I am trying to setup a a system that allows me to rotate Point 1 and 2 joints to place downstream spheres into specific locations such that the distance and angles between the spheres don't change.
Everything works the way I want (so far), but Sphere04 goes the opposite direction of its IK chain.
What am I doing wrong?

Any way to do the skin conversion to muscle system WITHOUT converting every single joint to a polygon bone object. I'd prefer to manually create the muscle bone objects from only the joints I plan to use for the muscle system, and then do the skin conversion using only those joints already converted. Basically, I only need a few muscles in this system and therefore only need a few polygon bone objects, but as far I can tell, there is only one way to do the skin conversion and it automatically converts every joint that the skin is attached to.

I wish to compile individual comic strips I am drawing in Illustroator into a multipage comic book. inDesign is way too sophisticated and expensive for me to do only this.
I could export to e.g. GIF and compile in Microsoft Word but this loses the link to the original Illustrator file (so a hassle when I need to correct the original file).
better way or an inDesign alternative that works on Mac?

I was wondering if you create the parts then assemble them. Or can you create and assembly then break out the parts? I am just testing inventor out to see if it would be good for my company.

Something is strange with the constraint activity.
I'm using the constraints to assemble a project. I select the parts with the proper constraint, when "apply" is clicked the parts do not "pop" to location as they use to. I have to go up to "manage" the click "rebuild all" for the parts to move to new location.

What is the difference between Constrain and Assemble?
They both seem to create the same mating constraints, but Assemble doesn't work with adaptive parts.
Any other difference (other than the interface)?

I went through a bunch of tutorials on how to draft and assemble parts and when going through them step by step everything looks really neat and works well. Start with blank files and try creating something from scratch and that is when the laws of the universe no longer apply.
I am sure I am doing something wrong here but the problem is when logic and common sense no longer apply and each mouse click and drag is bound by some law that cannot be documented let alone repeated that is when I start getting lost.
My assembly is mainly comprised of pipes, clamps and pipe T-joints which are joined by rotational joints. I am sure this has to be a tricky assembly task since I have witnessed numerous times my assembly flying apart in every possible direction into a tangled mess from just trying to nudge one part.
For example -> Currently I have a part bound by a single rotational joint and I ground the pipe this joint is connected to. I have used this many times now to rotate parts relative to one another to prevent the arbitrary explode and re-arrange that occurs if you do not ground a part. Now all of a sudden when I try to rotate this part I get a circle with a cross through it beside the mouse pointer telling me that this will not happen. Why now? For a sanity check I went back to a previously saved file and the same scenario works. Why?
The best part of this software is the: "The assembly cannot be solved" dialog that pops up as soon as anything gets more complex than a single joint. This dialog fascinates me since after it pops up and I cancel it I will spend a half hour trying to ground parts and nudge the pieces closer together. Then I try the exact same joint and...... it WORKS! It blows my mind every time. So is there a internal timer that ensures you spend an appropriate amount of time screwing around before it will let you pass to the next level? If I can ground/nudge the two pieces I want to join in about a half hour why can't the software do this, maybe I am missing something but I thought this was the point for software like Inventor?
How I would try manipulate it if it was in front of me. I see a part that needs to be rotated so I try click and drag it into place, of course Inventor has no clue that the part I click on could possibly be the one I want to move so every piece not grounded will fly off into random directions.

I am struggling with a relatively simple exercise in inventor. I would like to assemble two pipe segments intersecting one another to form a pressure part nozzle, as shown below:
I cannot seem to find a relatively easy method of doing this. I've tried pipe & tube routing but it doesn't seem to have this functionality. Apart from actually modeling the nozzle to have the contour shown above, how would one achieve this easily?
Pipe & tube routing allows one to align these two segments of pipe, but it doesn't contour the nozzle pipe segment to the circumference of the pressure part segment.

I want to arrange these outer circles in a corcular pattern at equal distance and at equal angle from each other without using circular patten feature in assembly tab. How do I do that.
The reasomn I dont want to use circular pattern in assembly tab is if I do that then, I cannot change color of each outer circle separatly If I change one color it changes color for all of these whcih i dont want.
I want to have each outer circle of different color.

I am trying to assemble two parts together by the constraint feature, but the problem is that I mirrored one of the parts to make the other and now that I am trying to assemble them together they both light up showing that they are the same part. I am trying to make them to individual parts so that I can assemble them. Can I fix it in the Assembly or Part drawing?

I am assembling multiples leds on a matrix that I made.
Is there any way to make the assembly using constrains to place the ipt LED design on the matrix without placing one by one?
The constrain I am using for each led is Insert.
There got to be a way to insert the leds directly, like when you are placing screws and it detects all holes and places the necessary number os screws on the existing holes.

I have a part with multiple holes created in a single hole feature (i.e. not patterned but made by selecting multiple sketch center points). As desired, the holes all have the same size since they all fit the same fastener. Is there a way to easily assemble fasteners to all the holes? Currently, I am using insert for each fastener and this gets tedius if there are many holes. Additinally, if the number of holes changes, a manual update is required. I'm hoping there is something that works similar to associative patterns.

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?
