3ds Max :: Omni Light Reflections In Glossy Objects
Apr 27, 2011Whenever I create an interior scene and use an omni light I get these horrible white hotspots reflecting in the surface of glossy objects, particularly glass. I am currently using Mental Ray with MR Sun and MR sky and a few omnis, but I have had this problem since the bad old days of using the scanline. Is there a quick fix that allow the Omnis to cast light but prevent them from reflecting?

May 25, 2012Is it possible to affix a point light to an object so it moves with it when you move the object? I know you can simply select both and move 'em together. But I made a fixture with a lot of point lights on it and it's a pain in the ass to try to select everything in order to move it and position it.

May 18, 2011I want to make a robot arm that bends in the middle and has a tube connected at the top and the bottem so it bends along with the arm.I don't want to use reactor I just want it to be constrained at the top and bottem and just move near the arm and the arm moves and bends.

May 9, 2012I'm trying to use the spline IK system to animate a linked 'train' on a path.
There are 4 segments which are joined with a universal coupling. I can only get one segment to actually follow the path, as the others don't follow at all. I've attached my example file.

Dec 17, 2013Is there a best practices for attaching props to HIK rigs in maya, like cups in hands, etc.?

Maya Animation :: More Than Four Vertices In IK Spline?
Nov 10, 2010I don't seem to be able to increase the number of control vertices in an IK Spline. The number of bones in the chain upon which the Spline is set doesn't seem to affect the number of control vertices I have to work with when creating the spline and I can't find a way to increase the number. I'm trying to animate a fish but finding it difficult to get a smooth wave to travel along it's length with only four control vetices.

Apr 17, 2012I'm trying to scale a spring (which is actually a renderable spline). I want it's scalable boundaries to be controlled by two other animated objects.
I thought a simple FFD modifier with a linked xform modifier to the control points would work, but unfortunately it won't let me link control points.
Maya Animation :: Aim Constraint - Attach Area Of Effect To The Locator
Dec 9, 2012The basic premise is that I've built a grid of 100x100 tiles and aim constrained them to a locator. Now I'm wondering if I could somehow attach an "area of effect" to the locator so that only the closest tiles aim at the locator and the rest lay unchanged?

Oct 10, 2011a few things involving cameras. My assignment was to use our plane that we modeled with poly's and animate it on a motion path(used cv curve tool) and have a camera above it follow it. Now I got that down perfect.
But what I don't have a clue on, is how do I attach a camera on the same motion path as the plane and have a camera angle right behind the spinning propeller? Like a cockpit view.
3ds Max Animation :: Spline IK And Flex Causing Rotation Popping?
Aug 6, 2012I've got a 2 bone chain that I have attached a spline IK to with a flex modifier on the spline. This was working pretty well however, once I skinned the mesh to these bones I noticed that when I rotated the 2nd bone it would seem to pop on a different axis. It was hard to spot at first because it popped between 2 frames, popped 90 degrees and seems to happen at the same rotation amount (can't recall exact degree at the moment).
I turned off the flex modifier and it is still popping so I'm assuming it is from the spline IK. Is there a way to prevent this?
3ds Max Animation :: Animating Camera Along A Spline Using Path Constraint
Jun 5, 2012I have problem with animating camera along a spline using path constraint. The spline has been spline normalized before added to the path constraint. Then I add besier floating to be able to slow down the camera.
The final camera seems to move not smoothly. This can notice especially when the camera are further away from the origin (0,0).
Some says it's because of Max's coordinates is not fine enough which can clearly proved when import autocad file which located very far from the origin into max and most vertex will be shifted from where it should be in Autocad.
Maya Animation :: Spine Moving Twice As Fast As Clusters From Spline?
Oct 6, 2012I am working on a rig right now and I'm trying to do the Isner Spine from the Body Language Advanced 3D Rigging Book.
I did the Spline IK with the spine and I have everything stretching fine but when I made the CVs into clusters and parented them to the controls, when I got to translate the rig, whether I use the Root CTRL, Main CTRL, or whatever, the spine translates twice as fast as everything else. The clusters and everything in the lower body moves normal and everything about the head is moving normal..
I know in other situations with curves you have delete history but I can't delete history on the joints and I can't come up with any solution. I can attach a file.. not all the controls are done right now and I haven't reparented the wings correctly so just ignore that.
Maya Animation :: Attach Brush To Character Hand For Interactive Writing On Object
Dec 1, 2012I've a character writing on something (it could be paper, wall, etc). Now I'm looking for a way that attaches brush to his hand for interactive writing on that object.
Don't say I have to sync it manually! it's a close up shot and motion captured movement. Indeed it's really complex movement! Imagine you are painting on a sphere with Maya's texture paint tool.
Maya Animation :: Convert Baked Mocap Keys To Spline Curves?
Oct 9, 2011I have a skeleton with baked motion capture keys on every frame. I'm wondering if there is a method to convert these baked keys to curves, so it will be possible to start cleaning up the animation. I'm fairly new to dealing with mocap. Perhaps there is a method for achieving this in Motion Builder rather than Maya, that I'm not aware of?

Sep 28, 2011I'm trying to create an external involute spline (ANSI B92.2M) Fillet Root Side Fit 26.9mm x 1 mm x 26 teeth x 38 mm long using the spline generator with Inventor 2012. I created a test shaft"M-182-AMA.ipt" that is Ø26.9 mm x 38 mm long with 1 mm radius on each end of shaft.
I use the following steps:
1. After creating component "M-182-AMA.ipt" I select Design tab>>Power Transmission>>Involute Spline.
2. A window appears that has the caption "Involute Splines Connection Generator".In the Dimensions section I choose "Splines Type: ANSI B92.2M - 37.5 deg, Fillet Root, Side Fit, 26 x 1.00 x 38 x 5H/5h" and change the Length to 38 mm.
3. In the Shaft Groove section I use Create new, and I push the Reference 1 button that turns blue, I then select the od feature from the model and I get an error(see attached pic "error1.jpg).
I changed the 26.9mm od to be 27mm and it still gave me the error.

Feb 14, 2011I am trying to animate a casino-like light board made of tens of light bulbs/leds. I thought the easiest way to do it would be creating a matrix of bulbs arranged by material ID and then design a pattern in multi sub-object materiel so I could somehow scrub through it and achieve animation effect. The material modifier allows to change ID for the whole object only and MaterialByElement shuffle ID`s in a random manner.

Apr 10, 2013OK I'm running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 -
So I've had this issue for a while - I try to XREF in a PDF an it just freezes up. The command line is stuck on _PDFATTACH and nothing happens. And it's not like it'd totally frozen either because as soon as I press escape it comes right out of it, so then I save the PDF down to a JPEG or TIFF and don't worry about it for a while. Still, it is quite annoying especially when I would like to use PDF Layers but can't.
