I want to create a whipping animation. But not just a simple one. My whip is a collapsed folding rule. So I motion captured me doing the whipping movement and imported that into 3dsmax.
As a folding rule does not expand in real life like that I thought about attaching a virtual weight to one end and connect the other end via link to the throwing hand. So the end of the FR is connected to a mass which makes it inert.
As I wrote in "Applying inverse kinematics to a folding rule" I succeeded with the first step.
Now I would like to make it behave like a whip. How to accomplish a whipping animation?
I did some motion capture of a person whipping an imaginary whip, so basically the folding rule just has to follow the hand and behave the way a whip would within the folding rule's constraints. How could I do that?
how to create a vacuum sucking animation?
What I need to do is suck little strands of something I made into/thru a hollow a needle.
I've been getting my hands on a few models from different games (Such as the Spy from 'Team Fortress 2', and Mario from 'Super Smash Brothers Brawl') lately, all of which are already weighted properly... So I can simply apply IK's and begin animating in a matter of minutes...
However, I can't set up any of them with a HIK rig (To use with Motion Capture..).. I keep getting an "Invalid skeleton or no skeleton. Can't create new rig." error when trying to Create the HIK Rig (I can Characterize the skeleton with no problem though). I know that the mesh is binded already to the skeleton using skin clusters..
I'm using a video layer and I have been using onion-skinning. I wanted to start my in between sketches to make the animation more smooth.

Surely this has to be an option, there are always going to be layers during an artwork build that are options or earlier efforts etc that you may wish to revisit, to have the entire lot dumped into animate is a pain. Its not obvious which they are when in there, layer names don't appear.
I am trying to create a movie with Corel Video Studio Pro with imported images that I have created in a 3D program! The framerate should be 24frames/second in the movie but it looks like
I can only get down to a image speed of 0.1 second or 10 frames/second by editing each images and then reduce duration time. Is it impossible to get the duration time to 0.0417 that is about a speed of 24 frames/second? If it is impossible maybe something for the wishlist to the future!
Next quistion is is it possible to somewhere in the settings change the duration time for images so you don't need to edit each images each time! It can be hard if you have over 400 images to edit!
I want to create a repeating, pixel art GIF animation. The basic idea is nyan cat swapped for a spaceship, in my usual video resolution. Now I made all the assets, and I thought I can use the star animation as a sub animation, so I can tell it to appear in random heights, move from right to left and start at a random frame, so I made a GIF just for that. But I fail to see any sort of controls that let me do what I was planned.

Do you create arcs in AutoCAD and then import them in scene, project them to road region surface and connect them to split corridor base lines, or you draw them directly in 3ds Max 2013?

i have created morph targets that work as key framed morphs but when i change these to progressive morphs and try to drive with an expression nothing is happening.
The work i am doing is largely based on the great work of Ruramuq and Harvey from the thread "Rigging a wave (3D's Max)" Not sure why. I have file from Ruramuq and have tried to replicate his technique. Everything works well in his file so all i need to do is replicate. The answer is in here but i cant tell what the difference is between his and mine.
I want to create an custom parameter like "button" under my object parameters or in attribute holder and i want this button run a simple code/script for me.

I'm making a short animation on 3ds max design, it's supposed to be about 10 seconds, and I can't seem to find where I can control the animation speed. I render out the frames to AVI format, (abot 250 frames) but when I play the animation in VCL or any other mediaplayer, it seems to lack length completely - the timeindicator shows 00.00.00. I attached just a test animation, it's there but something's wrong..

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy the create animated sequence (Make Preview) will often times freeze and get stuck on one frame even though the time is progressing? Quite often when I create my previews, it will progress to a certain point and the frame won’t progress and it will continue to create the same frame over and over even though the time slider is progressing through the animation. I’m using Max 2011 and 2012 but this has happened in 2009 and 2010. To fix it I have to keep a close eye on the sequence images and stop the preview to restart it at the point it stopped.

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 would like to crate some animation in Action or CFX. (Start text or some lens flare, etc). I would like them to start in just the right time on music (on certain beat or place in music). Is it possible to see wave form of an audio clip in Action or CFX?

How do I create an 16 color effect, when saving my gif animation (save for web and devices) it has an option to lower the number of colors from 256. I normally use the 8 or 16 colors as it gives a great effect to .gif images.
what you get is a Gothic type washed out effect, when you lower the number of colors, when saving a .gif . The overall aim is to have a .gif that starts at 16 colors and at the end turns into 256 colors. How can I achieve this effect.
I know that I can animate using basics animation feature un Xara. Any way to create an animation showing every line drawn.

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.

Why it would be non-deformable?
To create an animation similar to the one shown in the page 225, in the tutorial, I created a curve but I am not too sure that was the correct way to create it.
1. Selected the Surfaces Menu.
2. In the font view, using the CV Curve Tool, created the first half.
3. Using Duplicate in the Edit Menu, I created the other half.
4. In the Edit Curves Menu, selected Attach Curves and connected two curves.
5. I, then selected the Animation Menu and created an object to be used as an aircraft and followed the same steps shown in the tutorial and it worked nicely.
I know in max its possible to bake out a spline using an animated objects keys. Is something similar possible in Maya?
