3ds Max :: Biped Clavicles Jump To Different Position Out Of Figure Mode?
Oct 27, 2011
I have a biped that I created to rig a horse. It was originally created in 3da Max 9. The problem is that through the years and different max versions it has worked fine for the most part. But sometimes when I take it out of figure mode the clavicles want to go back to the original rotation. See the attached images.
I have used the rig in 3ds max 9 3ds Max 2010 and now in 3ds Max2011.
This problem occured mainly in Max 9 and now in Max 2011. I have had it happen on other bipeds used in normal upright biped mode.
It has a run cycle animated on it and the biped behaved the whole time it was being animated.
I recently put it in figure mode to model a saddle on the horse and now it jumps when I take it out of biped. I just reinstalled Win7 and completed all wundows updates and loaded Max 2011 and put sp1, sp2 on. A week ago I was working with it with no problems. Since rebuilding the system I have this problem.

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.

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011. I am wondering if there is a way to assign an mline to a figure style in the Figure Prefix Database. Ultimately I am trying to create storm drains that have a width automatically (ex. 12" SD would come in at 12"). Right now I have a single center line that comes in and I manually offset the line to create a width or I place an mline over the center line.

Just downloaded LR 5 and noticed that I cannot jump back from a Publish Service folder preview to a different folder preview in grid mode. The only way to view photos in another folder is to restart LR 5. This only happens when I am viewing photos in a Publish Service such as Flickr.
I updated from LR 4 using Creative Cloud installer.

os windows 7, upgraded to Gimp 2.8.4 I open an .xcf file and go to single window mode. everthing looks ok the zero offsets on the rulers are where they should be and I can see the bottom of the gimp window where the % size change is. I then ask for a new tool bar which is provided and locked to the widow. if i go to full screen and then back the picture is pushed down as are the ruler zero's and i now can't get to the bottom of the screen. this annoying behavior does not seem to happen in multi window mode. attached is a screen capture.

Is there any way to edit (remove) the "Lock position" mode of a visible attribute in a block once the block has been created? This characteristic does not show up in BATTMAN for editing.

why members change position once mirror has been done in Assembly mode.
1..... i complete a sketch and save it.
2....Then i open up a new assebly while in the same project and save that also.
3...I place the sketch in the assembly and then go straight to Design tab and select insert frame a PFC member.
4 Also the sketch is fully constrained before going into assembly.
5..Now all mitering has been done.
6 Problem is when you Mirror the PFC in the assembly after picking a face or plane they change....................?
7 They mirror but swap ends and the miters are opp hand.

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 a way to scale the bones on the biped or do you do that manually? and if you could do it manually will that mess up anything in the rig? Am trying to scale the bones to fit my mesh so the joints move correctly

I need a biped to stay still in an animation for a few frames. What I'm doing is say I copy a pose from frame 10, then I want the biped to remain still until frame 40. So I paste the pose there and fix the feet keys. As a result the biped position is the same in both frames, but when I play the animation I get some unwanted rotations between these frames I can't get rid of.

how to link a biped's head to an object? I can link it to other objects as the parent, but I need the head to be the Child.
I'm trying to animate a Terminator robot model I found here (it was a free download):
[[URL]
The model is rigged to a biped, and I'm trying to animate its head to follow the exact movements of a person's head in some footage I shot. I used PFTrack to motion-track the person's head (using geometry tracking) and exported the track as a MaxScript. So I run the script in Max and it produces a camera and head model which exactly follows the movements of the original person.
how can I link the Terminator's head (or rather, the biped controlling the Terminator's head) to the animated model? Better yet, how do you link a biped's head to Any object? I can link any object TO the head, but I cannot make the biped's head the Child. How to do this? I also tried using Select IK Object in the Motion panel, which works for other parts of the biped, but not the head.

I'm having a strange problem using loaded .BIP file on a biped in 3D studio Max. The biped doesn't allow me to make rotation and translation changes on the head, attached bones and the feet and hands. This only occurs in the viewport!
Altering the rotation and translation keys in the biped workbench editor works fine. but obviously not very practical . I already tried to add a new layer above the current biped animation. But without successful results Also exporting the animation to a .BIP file and reassign it to the biped didn't work.
One thing I have done is using the motion flow system. After finalizing the animation I created an unified motion which is available in the flowgraph options. In order to convert the motion flow structure to real keys.

New Retime tool feature in Max 2013; when i tried with biped animation, its not working, but it works with every other object. Workflow which i followed:
1.Selected all the biped parts.
2.Open curve editor. (it shows all the animation keys and curves)
3.Applied Retime All (Retime tools shows up)
4.Double clicked to create start and end marker.
5.Now, when i move any of the retime marker, the keys are not responding, only the marker moves and there is no change in animation timing too. everything stays same.
does the retime tool is not applicable for biped. I tried the same procedure with other animated objects. It works fine.

When it comes to adding a biped into the centre of my character model how does it work? (I am not that far in my college project but am a I am worried)Does the biped attach to I ndividual pieces of the model ( hands, head...etc) and they have to be attached individually Or can the biped work with a single object ( all the pieces attached) and still be able to move individual elements like the hands or feet I am getting worried as I need to start this bit soon

I have created a model of an alien, and I wish to rig it upto a biped. The reason I would like to be rigged to a biped opposed from using bones is because I wish to apply motion capture files to the biped from iPi Mocap.
However, the problem I am having at the moment is that because my model is an unorthodox shape, and does not follow the figure of a human, is how do I modify and change the sizes of each individual bone? I've tried using the scale tool on the bones to no avail, as well as searching through the options. Are there values I can change to make them bigger?
In the picture I have attached, you can see that the hip on the biped, is significantly higher than the model, meaning that when it comes time to skin the model, it'll think that the aliens body are part of the legs.

Lately I've been trying to pose a character that uses a biped rig, and things have not been going very well. For some reason, every time I try to position a bone, such as the pelvis or part of the spine, only that bone rotates or moves and nothing else in the whole skeleton follows suit with it. So I get all this weird stretching of my model as only the pelvis is rotated and nothing else, or the neck is very far down below the top of the spine. I know that it wasn't always like that; one thing is rotated and everything else goes with it. I don't recall having to link and re-link Biped bones.

I haven't used Biped in years... strictly CAT.
Now I'm using Biped and I'm rotating the upper leg but the feet are staying horizontal to the ground.
I can't see how this is a useful function.
How can I get the foot to act like a true child of the leg AND ROTATE WITH IT?
I really don't remember Biped acting like this in the past (although it does in 2013 -- since I just checked).

I am animating a skeleton. As a result, I'm not using physique-- I'm just connecting different mesh objects to different bones in the biped, and I'm good to go.
Here's my issue: I don't want my biped inside my mesh. I want to stick it off to the side somewhere where it's not interfering with my actual mesh, and I can do my links easily by just dragging over to them.
Naturally, when I do this, things rotate around the biped's pivot point rather than where I want them.
Is there any way to offset the biped-- just for interaction, and visually? I just want it outside of my mesh so I can animate the biped without having to look at it all merged up with my mesh.

I'm working on a project where I need to duplicate all animated sequences for both a male and female character. I currently have two biped rigged characters. I animate one, save the .bip animation file and then load into the other. I check the boxes for "Load max Objects" as I have some objects (like a glass of water) set as an IK pivot object. It loads those into the new scene along with the new pose, but the pose goes wrong, thought just with the arms (which are incidentally the only parts that have a seperate object as an IK pivot object.)
Here's a screenshot to show what I mean:
This incorrect animation happens whether the .bip animation file I save is loaded into the other character or loaded into the same character in it's original T-pose.

I have a Biped which had a number of .BIP files added then mixed down. All of these have been removed however there are 2 which are still hanging around and can not find any reference to them anywhere. maybe a script exist which removes all of these?

I am trying to find out if it is possible to hide parts of a mesh while I skin certain parts of a mesh using biped . Here is what I have tried. Below my skin modifier on my stack is my edit mesh. I open up edit mesh and select the faces I would like to hide and hide them .Then I return to my skin modifier and skin parts of my mesh. but then I reliased that my biped is no longer skinned to my mesh if I hide a porition of the mesh. Even When I unhide the faces the mesh is no longer skinned to the biped. The biped moves but my mesh no longer follows. I tried deleting the skinned biped bones on the skin modifier and re adding them but it still did not do anything.
I know there must be a way to hide parts while you skin. By the way I am using MAX10

Previous day one of the company send drawings in my office which is made on model space and his scale is 1:200 it is reduce scale, but my engineer said to me you have to set this one drawing on paper space and when i shift that one drawing model to paper space it was reduce so that time i thought i have to change the scale so i select enlarge scale on paper space which is 10:1..... so want to ask this
in one of the lighting symbol which is 1200mm in drawing of the full size scale 1:1.
so i want jump 1:1 scale to 10:1 scale

When I was in Library mode, I would click on Survey View twice and it would give me an option to jump to a certain date I took a picture or jump to pictures taken with a certain camera model. I think I clicked something and now Lightroom doesn't give me that option.

I have a problem with mouse move in PS CS4 on Vista Home Premium 64bit. The problem is the following:
I select an area with the crop tool. Then try to drag and move the crop frame a bit, eg. move 10px left. But when I try to drag the frame it immediately jumps some hundred pixel away in random directions.
The problem occures in case of healing brush as well. Sometimes the cursor jumps far away.
I have problem with my mouse, but I didn't recognized any problem with the mouse pointer in any other application. Besides this the above mentioned problem occures on a different machine as well (Also PS CS4 and Vista Home Premium 64bt.)
