3ds Max :: Starting Animation From Inventor Import?
Apr 3, 2012
I'd like to animate a clothes peg - open & closing symmetrically. The model has been imported from Inventor but the whole reference & constraining environment is so different. The clothes pegs clip together & I want to show this in the animation.(youtube link below made using Showcase)
My best guess so far: create a dummy within a local environment & untick x & y rotations, place at 0,0,0 create a bone from 0,0,0 & link to the dummy move half the peg to 0,0,0 & link to the dummy.
Copy - rotate to form the opposite half - move to 0,0,0
Now I'm stuck - I want both halves to share a common pivot axis & open & close symmetrically. Next is to copy this working pair & move it to clamp to an independent copy.
Search youtube for PegoAC to see what I've done so far using Inventor & Showcase.

I just made my first edge animate project and made a progress loader animation. Works well.When i placed the code in the site the animation was always on, so i've hidden the item in css
#Stage { display:none; }
When my animation is needed i'm making is visible however the animation has already been started in the background so wont begin the right place. I'm wondering should i stop the stage autoplay in the config and then start the animation in JS? If so how can i go about starting the animation via JS.
I've been playing around with AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback but cant seem to get it to play.

I have a problem with Lightroom 4.1. When I start the import, lightroom crashes with an "Application Error" all the time. I tried to trash the preference file, but there was no change. I tried to make a clear catalog, but no change to my problem. At least, I deinstalled Lightroom completely and installed it again. But the same problem. The problem was not from the beginning. I could import several pictures. 20k pictures are imported.
Informations about my computer:
OS: Windows 7 - 64 bit with Service Pack 1
Processor: i5 & 2,67 GHz
RAM: 8,00 GB
Lightroom version: 4.1
And here is the Error-log from the Event-Viewer:
<Event xmlns="URL...">

<Provider Name="Application Error" />
<EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID>

When choosing an Import-preset with "Make a Second Copy To" selected and the external drive is not connected (e.g. working on location, ejected ext. drive temporarily), LR starts the copy process to primary location first. Only after copying LR notices that second copy location is offline, displays a warning dialog and won't start preview rendering until warning dialog is dismissed. But user might have left his computer to grab a coffee since rendering eats up CPU power.
Result, Problem:
1. Processing time is lost if user comes back to computer after intentionally taking a break only to discover that computer will be slowed down under processing load again.
2. Files have to be backed up manually. If "eject card after import is selected", user even has to re-insert card again.
Solution A: When Import with backup to external drive is selected, check and warn immediately if drive is not connected.
a) Import button is greyed out with a little red ! or some sort of indicator. User is asked to connect drive or skip backup this time
or
b) Warning dialog is displayed immediately after clicking Import button. Options as in a) are given. Disadvantage: user might miss warning, if sound turned off and turns away from computer immediately after clicking.
Solution B: Allow drive re-connect and copying later
1. Copy to primary location
2. Copy to second location, skip if drive not connected
3. Render previews
4. Display message "The following files could not be copied..." with added new feature "Please connect drive, then selct "copy now" button.I am using Lightroom 3.6 on Mac OS 10.7.2

I'm just starting out with trying to implement BOM's in inventor. Basically at the moment cutting list are hand written to be passed on for manufacture. I mainly create drawings for welded ladder assemblies out of Aluminium. I have currently been placing multiple solid bodies in one .ipt file. I'm struggling to pull the info I'd like out of this file into my BOM in the .dwg file.To start with I'm only looking for basic info such as:
-material section
-cut length
-cut angle
-Qty of each individual item.

I added two macros to be run from a button in the ribbon. The first time I run one of these macros after startup of Inventor, it takes a lot of time to run (approx. 5 sec.). But the second and subsequent time the tools are ran, the process is pretty much instantaneous. It's like the VBAeditor has to load on the background before the tool can process.
I arrived a this hypothesis because the VBA editor is taking around 5-10 seconds to load for the first time but after the tool (macro) has ran once, the VBA editor can be opened instantaneously.

I have missing parts on only one tutorial file as downloaded from sybex downloads.
On mi_11a_001_done.iam the bolt nut and washer were unresolved, so I used 7zip to dump all files in the same folder- by default windows 7 unzipper put them in seperate chapter folders which appeared to break the parts links.
On this example by clicking "content centre" on the left part of the open dialog box the 3 parts were then found. This appears to be my custom content.
On mi_11a003.iam The parts are not resolvable, searching the entire folder for *part* reveals nothing, have I missed a dependant zip download? Or some parts to add to my library at the start?

Is there a way to default to a standard hole size when starting a new part? ie. If you mostly place 10mm dia holes can this size be configured to be default in lieu of 3mm on the hole dialogue box.

When ever I start a new sketch in the xz plane (viewing from top down) my sketch rotates 180 degrees. Not a huge deal to rotate it back, but not everything I create is symetrical and when I go to draw the part, I want a certain ISO view to be default. I know you can insert/obtain any view into the drawing but is there an option to stop this rotation or maybe I am not setting up something correctly.

I'm wanting to have vertical and horizontal construction lines already created whenever I start a sketch so that I can set symmetric constraints to the part I'm drawing up. At the moment, I have to draw both lines every time and constrain them to the center point. It would be much easier if it was already there when I started so I can start on the sketch right away. Is there a way to do this? I've included a photo of what I'd like to do.

I'm trying to set up a company drawing sheet that requires the designer to select the sheet size before starting the drawing. Based on the drawing sheet size (A0, A1, A2, A3 & A4 all in landscape) the relevant company Title block will attach to the bottom right of the drawing border. I've manage to create the relevant forms for parts, sheet metal and assemblies.

I want to draw a line between the two sketches visible on the image below. The line should be in the plane visible. The starting point of the line should be from wherever the top sketch intersects the plane of the current sketch. The finnish point of the line should be wherever a line of the bottom sketch intersects the current sketch plane.
There is no tooltip appearing that would allow me to quickly "attach" the starting line to the correct position. Is there such an aid, and how do i turn it on?

I am using the FBX Plugin to import an fbx file (created in Motion Builder) into 3ds Max. When I play the animation in Motion Builder under the perspective projection, it looks perfectly natural (I see a character performing some actions on her two feet). However, in 3ds Max, the character seems to be rotating about her axis. I would like to view this file so that it looks the same as it does in Motion Builder. Any tips on how I might do this? If I could do it with the Plugin, that would be preferable (since I am scripting this process with Max Script).
Here are some (possibly) relevant specifics:
- There are seven cameras in Motion Builder (Producer Perspective, Produce Front, ..., Producer Bottom).
- When I import into 3ds Max, I check the Include->Cameras checkbox.
- Once imported, I've tried Perspective, Orthographic, Top, Front, Back, etc.
- When I export the file as a .dae file and view it using a Collada loader, I see the same type of animation (rotated about its axis).

When doing the merge everything goes smooth except the actual merged file I downloaded and installed the service pack but it's still not working. All i'm trying to merge is my eyeball file that's already set up with sliders and constraints.

Is there any way to get a sequence of frames into Photoshop and have the layer visibility set up to play straight away ?
What I mean is, I'm using Bridge to import ....Tools > Photoshop > Load Files into Photoshop layers, and was wondering if the frame visibility could be automatically set to play the animation.
Currently all the layers come in visible and I have to "Alt" click the layer visibility in each frame....can be a pita with large animations. It would be cool if I imported frames 1 to 50 and PS set them up to play in order as imported.

I have a CSV file with lists of positions and rotation angles (over time). I would like to use these to animate objects. The two options I've found thus far are:
- Convert the CSV to the XAF format and import this into the curve editor
- Convert the CSV to WAV and use the AudioFloat controller to assign it to the coordinates
I would think there should be an easier way, preferably one for a controller, but I can't seem to find it. Surely I'm not the first to want to import data; frankly I'm surprised that audio is supported but regular data isn't. The thing is, converting the data to XAF seems to produce an enormous overhead and converting it to WAV is just odd.
What would the appropriate way be? Ideally I'd expect some controller where I can specify a file and some conversion parameters and that'd be it. Does such a thing exist? I'm happy to convert the CSV but I feel like it's probably not necessary - is it?

I am fairly new to 3D Max animation. My intention is to first import a Google earth image which shows the route from House A to House B. Then by 3D Max animation I want to show the direction from House A to House B. The aim of the animation is to just show the direction from House A to House B.
As a first step I want to import the image to Max. Then by keeping that image as a background. I want animate a direction arrow which is comprised of spheres and an Arrow head. To understand it better please refer to the following;
S= sphere
X = ARROW HEAD
(House A) S1 S2 S3 S4 X (HOUSE B)
0th 5th 10th 15th 20th
frame frame frame frame frame
To do this I first create a sphere over the image close to House A then I set a key at 0th frame. After that I am moving the slider to the 5th frame and I am selecting the first sphere and I make a copy of it by holding shift. And then I am placing the 2nd sphere at a distance from 1st sphere after which I set a key at the 5th frame. I am following the same procedure till the 4th sphere.
After this I dont know how should I make the box appear on the 20th frame.
I have attached an image for reference.

How to successfully import/export deformer weights ?
Like, a simple head made out of clusters on Left side. Would like to create/mirror these clusters to the other side. NONE of the default tools worked for me. Mirror deformer weights didn't and neither did the import/export deformer weights.

Everywhere else the GIFs view as intended but when I import to GIMP some of the GIFs change color. Are GIF animations limited in the colors that can be displayed compared to normal (non-animated) GIFs?
A test animation is attatched, but many of the colors are wrong often the colors are changed to white by gimp.

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion form SL. Suddenly AE can't import lot of .movs.I am almost sure this is a compatibility between the Quicktime components nor the location of them.
For instance, some H264 files are imported fine, as Mp4 files as well. Pro Res, PNG, even Animation! Gives me the "this Moov is unsuported or damaged"I removed the AE pref., chequed my disk permissions, and nothing. Also, i can't see Adobe QT32 Server in the Activity Monitor, but i think this is not a problem because other quicktime files are imported ok.I don't have any firewall trying to break the communication between AE and QT. I tried to opend the files in Premiere, and Media Encode and gives the same errors..I have removed Xvid, Perian. From Quicktime Pro, i have removed all third party component in Libray/Quicktime and in System/Library/quicktime and nothing. Also I'm lost WHERE the final qt components go:
1-HD/Library/Quicktime
2-HD/Users/User/Library/Quicktime
3-HD/System/Library/Quicktime (empty, i don't know why)
The QT codecs: Quicktime pro opens certain files and when i tried to export, it crashes. Quicktime X Plays the files normally, even Prores and even the Finder Preview sees them.this is the QT report:

Though I am a long time CorelDraw user I've recently download VideoStudio Pro trial. The problem I am having is importing a sequence of animation images (360 total at 30frames/sec) The images where render and exported from Lightwave3D (jpg)
The only way I found to import the images was through the capture button and that worked fine. Once that was done imported VS editor and exported to several formats...
the problem is the sequence is choppy and not smooth it is a wee bit choppy the 30 frames/sec imports fine but the final play back is not smooth as it should be. If I export directly to video from Lightwave the playback is smooth. I'd render direct from LW but LW is is a wee bit wonky at time when writing direct to video format. LW prefers direct to image then you would composite in a 3rd party program
I tried VS video at 60 frames, 15 frames that made no difference at all the same unsmooth playback
How do I import a sequence of images at 30/sec so then export so that the playback is smooth.

I was wondering if there is a way in maya 2013 to import like 20 takes at the same time, work on those 20 takes in one maya file and export them simultaneously just like motion builder and his "export all takes, save one take per file, use take name".
I'm asking this because i am thinking of switching to maya, but this motion builder native feature is just essential to me.
