Jan 26, 2012Is it possible to rotate an object along the Y axis as opposed to just rotating in a 2D circle? I know it is possible to simulate 3D rotation, but that takes some tricky maneuvering in some cases. I was wondering if it isn't just a case of holding down a combination of Cntrl & Alt or Shift and dragging a selection point.
I have seen a video where a graphic is created - video is in high speed to show the various steps involved in creating the artwork and there is a section where it looks like the artist/designer rotates a rectangle so that the top left corner appears to be moving "out" of the screen and the right corner towards the "back" of the screen. It doesn't appear to be just a skewing of the object, but in fact it looks like it's in 3D.

3ds Max Animation :: How To Lock Z Axis Of Object With Upper Arms Z Axis
Jan 25, 2013I'm rigging a shoulder pad to a biped and I'd like it to only rotate on one axis. Google hasn't been that useful, and I hope I don't need scripting for this kind of minor thing. I'm rather new to 3Ds Max Design but I'm learning fast and liking it so far!
I've attached what I want to effectively accomplish. I'm looking for a way to lock the z-axis of the object with the upper arm's z-axis.
EDIT: Reduced picture size.

AutoCAD 2013 :: UCS - Rotating Around Z Axis
Apr 3, 2012I frequently rotate my drawings around the Z axis however when trying to do this in 2013 it only appears to let me rotate at 0,0,0 rather than clicking on 2 points in the drawing to reference the angle at which I wish to rotate to........ Im not sure if this function has changed completely or is there something I need to set to still allow me to do this?

View 1 Replies View Related3ds Max Modeling :: Rotating Objects And Views?
Feb 13, 20111. In both AutoCAD and Sketchup you can rotate objects relative to the objects existing angle. In AutoCAD, for instance, you can start the Rotate command and select the object, enter the rotation base point, and then enter a reference point (such as the opposite end of the line). Sketchup's rotation command operates in much the same way.
2. Finally, is there a way to save a custom rotated view, so I can return to it on demand like the default views (top, left, right, back, bottom)? As you can probably guess I am working on building design that has some non-orthogonal lines and I am just looking for some workflow tips for modeling non-orthogonal components in 3ds Max.
3ds Max Modeling :: How To Rotate 30 Degrees Along An Axis
Feb 24, 2012I am trying to rotate 30 degrees along an axis.
In Rhino, it is simply using Rotate3D -> pick your axis of rotation -> type degrees -> enter
In Max, how do I pick an axis rather than world XYZ?
I'll upload pictures for details
3ds Max Modeling :: Edge Is Locked On Axis
Oct 25, 2013Using 2010. I'm trying to move an edge on the Z axis, but for some reason it refuses to go that way--nothing happens when I try dragging it down, and dragging it up causes it to go forward on the Y axis. This happened when I pressed something wrong on my keyboard I think. Resetting, restarting the program, etc doesn't work.
A few questions:
- How do I fix this?
- How did this even happen? When I Google ways to lock vertices/edges/etc, people are saying it can't be done.
3ds Max Modeling :: Controls For Scaling / Rotating / And Moving

View 2 Replies View RelatedMaya Modeling :: Rotation Axis To Parent
Feb 28, 2013I'm trying to find a way to have an object's rotation axis match it's parent's. In Softimage, this can be done with Freeze Rotation Transform (or some similarly named command), and it will reorient the pivot axis to the parent's. Trying to find Maya equivalent.
It's not important that it match it's parents transform. If there is a way to have an object match any other object's rotation axis, yet maintain vertex positions in world space, that's just as good.

Maya Modeling :: Cannot Select Axis Rotation
Aug 30, 2011I am currently following the getting started guide for Maya 2011 and I have come to a portion where it is required to use the Extrude tool to extend a part of the helmet.(page 100 : Polygonal Modeling / Lesson 1 / Extruding polygon components)
Everything is fine up to this instruction 5 Click the large circle that surrounds the manipulator to display the rotate manipulators and then drag the green circular manipulator to rotate the angle of the extrusion to match the angle in the reference sketch (see image) and then drag the arrow manipulator a second time to extrude a second section of mesh.
The actual problem: On my scene, when I click the circle that surrounds the manipulator, the 3 axis' rotate handles appear,but they disappear as soon as I release the mouse button (It is the same behavior if I move and if I do *not* move the mouse before releasing).

Maya Modeling :: How To Freeze Transformations To Local Axis
Oct 6, 2011Take a sphere, transform it in both location and rotation. Now you want to make it's new transform and rotation zeroed out so so that it still rotates around it's local axis but all its base values are zero. If you just freeze transforms, it puts everything to zero around the world axis not the local axis. This is not what I want. I want to be zeroed around the local axis.

And the size stays, no matter if I dolly, therefore it's sometimes difficult to click the right axis.

Maya Modeling :: Move Camera To Z Axis - Z Handle Gets Selected
Dec 20, 2013My rotate tool in maya seems to be "locked" i can't freely rotate whenever i left click hold the center and it only rotates where my viewport is looking at so if im at the X axis I can't rotate the Z axis. Tried setting my preferences to default and nothing. I've also set my rotate tool to default.
Whenever I move my camera say to the Z axis the Z handle gets selected and same when I move the camera to the X axis.

I'm sure I'm being really dense and missing something very simple.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Can't Warp Pasted AI Vector Smart Object Using Free Transform In CS6
Sep 5, 2012I pasted a vector object into PS CS6 (13.0.1 x32) today directly from Illustrator CS6 (16.0.1 x32), and selected "Paste as Smart Object" (Windows XP Pro SP3).
I then tried to warp the pasted object using the Free Transform tool by dragging one of the corner handles with CTRL held down (Windows).
This usually warpsdistorts the object, but instead, this launched a skew operation.
If I paste as Shape Layer or as Pixels then apply Free Transform, <Ctrl + corner handle drag> performs a warpdistort operation. Also, if I rasterise the pasted AI object, and then convert to a Smart Object I can warpdistort.
Is it not possible to paste an Illustrator vector in as a Smart Object, and then warpdistort it directly using this technique?
