Re: 3ds Max: Animating a realistic and continuous system of Tank Tracks?
I´m going to push this thread because i had to do a chain for a client :) . My setup is basically a curve with a number of nulls placed evenly. These nulls have a curve constraint which gets manipulated by an expression + offset value to control the movement with a control object. Then i created a second set of nulls.… -
Time constraints
I am curious how does 'average' 3d department in games industry operate. Whats the time frames given to artists to complete a model, with all textures and everything (considering the team is small)? How flexible deadlines are for 3d department considering amount of work that needs to be done, and be in sync with the rest… -
3ds max constraints
Hi all, I'm working on a rig for a 1066C Koehring excavator and have run into a problem with the bucket linkage rigging. Everything is linked to each other except one linkage bar. In the below photo, I want to link number "2" to "1". Any idea's? -
Constraints in max
Hello, I'm trying to set up a water hose rig. I'd like to use a point helper to move several bones at a time. Is there a way that when I move the helper i can set how much influence it has over each of those bones? example, the first moves 100%, the second moves 75%, and so on. Thanks for any tips! Jay -
Re: Rigging Questions - Maya
If it helps to think of it as a classic marionette. The control rig is the wooden +, in it's own scene. The mesh/rig are the puppet, in their own scene. The strings are the constraints between them. First thing I do is create just a skeleton and bind the mesh to it. Save that as a "skin" file and reference it into a new… -

IK bone orientation
So I am using the ART tools within Maya, working on a project that requires the use of the IK bones. So originally I thought just having the bones present was enough (As it was for previous projects) and let the engines code drive the bones. However on this project the bones need to be constrained within Maya to the ankle… -
Re: Maya Rigging - problem with constraints
Quick hack fix without looking at the rig. Since its the root body node you want to rotate around freely why not link it a non-renderable object that doesn't have constraints? -
Re: Maya "Connect" tool ?
if you want to put in multiple edge loops use the insert edge loop tool. it works like max's swiftloop but in the options you can enter in multiple subdivisions (up to 10 i believe). though there is no way to pinch or slide them like in max. SOMETIMES if i place down 2 edge loops using that method and then switch to the… -
link constraints problem
Hello, I am currently trying to animate a fps weapon. But I have some problems to link the hands to different parts of the gun. The hands are linked to the gun, and the magazine is also linked to the gun. The problem is when I want to do a reload animation, and I'm setting the left hand to "link to world", move it to the…
