3ds Max Animation :: Linking Deflector To Slice Plane Position
Oct 8, 2013
100 frame animation setup. created a slice plane on a box, animated it, copied it to a copy of the box with different material, tried to link a deflector created in the left view port to the slice plane and it doesn't exactly line up/match.
checked animation curves, there was only 1 on the slice plane, and tried linear or curved, no difference, the deflector doesn't line up exactly.
tried wiring it to each box, recreated a couple times. the attached picture shows the slice plane and how it lags behind the gray/white slice modifiers.

I am now trying to model a fuselage for an RC plane and am trying to copy a spline from one work plane to a new one and link them together so that if I edit one, it is reflected in the other. Copying and then pasting into the new plane doesn't link the two splines together.

i wish to set up a mobile reciever device that can integrate with an autocad dwg drawing to show my physical location in the real world as a point on the drawing screen in real time.
I guess you would say it would work exactly the same way a GPS map works however instead of using the GPS and street map i would be substituting in a construction site base station and autocad drawing.
p.s the "Leica" system will not do the job for me. from my search so far it mainly works with elevations rather than lateral positioning in real time. i do not want to have to constantly move emitters and or receivers on the worksite in order to track my movements in real time and display them on the cad drawing i have in front of me!

The unit basically consists of 3 short cones which at tilted at 30 degrees to the horizon and each on spins on it's own. In order to get them rotating properly I had to assign a TCB quaternion controller. With these three 'cones' rotating on their own I need to have the entire setup rotate with these guys still rotating individually.
google images "oil drill bit" to get an idea of what I'm putting together.
So I link these animated cones to the parent main shaft. Once I do this I lose all the rotation animations I had given to these cones.

If I bring link in a dwg file origin to origin. The line work comes in correct and straight but in the wrong position.
If I link in a dwg file by shared coordinates it comes in in the right position but the dwg lines aren't straight if you move the mouse they jump around.

I have a image plane. I would like to move the image of the plane in animation. It looks out then masking. I need only some parts of the image in frame one, and I need other parts of the image on frame 100. The plane isn't moving, only the image is moving in the box.

I’m having a problem with a part being skewed after it’s been linked to another part. This only happens when the part that it was linked to rotates.

I need this information for an animation rig.
Let's say I have an arbitrarily oriented plane, and somewhere above that plane, I have placed an object. Now, I want to calculate the closest point on that plane to the position of the object, and constrain a third object to that calculated position.
If I move the object above the plane around, the object on the plane should always move to a position where it is as close to the first object as possible without leaving the plane. Is there any reasonable way to do this with on-board 3ds 2012 features?

I am basically trying to have one object create a deformed pathway on a plane. Think of it like pushing a beach ball along some sand. I get the initial effect I want with using a spherical shaped Displace space warp applied/bind to a plane but I want the results to stay. So it leaves a trail on where is has been. I have read the suggestions about using the cloth modifier but I am not getting the look I desire.

a 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.

How does one implement the use of two pivot points to control movement concurrently in the X- and Y-plane?
I 've added a Link Constraint to the salmon colored component which is linked to the red cylinder pin at far left. This pin has a Path Constraint to an Arc path which is orientated left-to-right and arching up. The pin at right has a line Path Constraint that moves down and to the right. Still image 01 shows the retracted position. Still image 02 shows the animation at 50%, the Fowler hinge follows nicely the path of the left most pin quite well. Notice no movement occurs in the down direction that would be imposed by the right pin - if it worked/was set up properly.

In the expression editor, is it possible to get the position of an object at a different time ?
For example, we are at time 100, and I would like to get a given object's position when we were at time 50. Is it possible?

is there a reason that, no matter how I position my arms and spine. the spine joints orientation is always in world space (pointing in x y and z) but my arm through finger joints orient perfectly the way I want them...?
does the orientation of the spine even matter as long as it rotates properly? I can just do a orient Joint command after the spine is made and live with any joint orientation.

I'm trying to slice an image using the filter-web-slice function but I was wondering if there is a way to customize the function or change its properties in the Python-Fu. I need gimp to slice by columns (start in the top left corner slice each grid down the column then proceed to the next column. Right now all I can get gimp to do is cut by rows. Normally gimps function would be fine but I need the image labeled a particular way so I can use the individual files in a map for a game. I'm making a 118 images so renaming them by hand would take too long.

This is an annoying issue within photoshop. I am working on an animation for a video and when I try to change the position of a charater on a new frame it also changes the positioning on all of the frames previous of it.
I am making a walk cylcle and I want the character to walk from one end of the screen to the nextl but, when I make a new frame, move him to the opposite end of the screen on a NEW FRAME it changes the previous frames position to match the current one I am on.

Im trying to wire an object's Z position to a custom attribute. I've frozen transforms, but whenever i wire the zero euler Z position to the attribute, when i control the attribute, i notice that my object is moving relative to world, and not to its position.
I want to move it along its own Z axis, not world axis.

Is there any way to randomly animate vertex position?
I've tried using EditMesh-Transform Component so I get a random position but without a seed value to animate. Also I've tried using a noise texture with a displacement node but you jus can check results in render time.

I made a simple image explanation.
1. I have an ARROW that I would only like to animate along the Local X position.
2. I have a helper that i would like to control the rotation of the ARROW.
3. Once i rotate the helper, i would like the ARROW to still go in the Local X position but in the direction its facing.
Does this require a script or can this be achieved another way?

Is there a way to get the position parameters for a Biped COM to play with in Track View? All I get are the rotation parameters.
If that's not possible I'd like to know a way to manipulate the animation between 2 keyframes. The TCB parameters don't seem to be working for this.

How to position a Point Helper at the endpoint of the Taper Length in 3d space? I think it would extend the Taper in its use for rigging things. Have a look at the screenshot. I mean the magenta ones.
I know there is a mathematically way with vector analysis, but it's to long ago to script it fast. Or is there a helper which has the same capability?

I have created my Animation:
The stage size you see above is H: 400px, W: 550px.
I would like for the stage to be smaller, say H:50px./W:400px
Ok so if I change the size of the stage the animation text will not show, so I need to adjust the position of the text in order for the animation text to be visible, but in doing that, I am disrupting the timeline and the animation goes all funny, is there another way of doing this without disrputing the timeline?

Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?
I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........
What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other. I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.
Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process. It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.

Is there an easy way to ensure that the position of attributes on a block match the position on another block?
I just used the ATTIN command to upload a bunch of data to the block attributes on a drawing, and now the information is all over the place.
Instead of going through each one manually and repositioning the attributes (a VERY lengthy process), I want to use a "correct" version as a template of sorts to inform the other selected blocks of where to place the attributes and have it reposition the whole thing automatically.
Is this even possible?

I often work on items for the web that I want to slice, but I need to slice them in layers. For instance, a background image, then some transparent PNGs to be placed on top of the background.
If I have everything laid our properly in Photoshop, then the layer items all overlap. I can turn off layers and export the background as one slice, then turn off the bkgrd and turn on a foreground item and create a slice for that... and so on. But if I want to go back and re-export the background (due to a change) the overlapping slices cause it to now break up into multiple pieces.
I can separate the layered items so that they are off to the side and the slices no longer overlap, but now any adjustments in the layout are hard to make because everything is all separated out. Is there a way to handle leaving the slices overlapped but not have them break up at export?

My web slice tool has gone mad...I've taken Adobe CS5.5 off the computer but still having problems. I guess I have a setting messed up.
1. Although I have chosen to save file as JPG, everything is saving in GIF.
2. After reinstall, still having problem #1 but some slices with system chosen names are not saving at all but present at time of web save, named and set up as Picture.
I took all the slices off and redid the thing several twice and it's still only saving slices I name and only in GIF.
