Well how about do the interaction, set it up to be rendered and if you have the time at the end attempt to get it in engine? Not sure how UE4 handles it but I have recently started a guy in a Mech for a project using Unity. I rigged the pilot and the Mech separate but within Maya parented the pilot to the inside of the…
I played with your file, and came up with this, using wire parameters and a look at constraint. Click play in the max file or scrub the bar to see it in action (or look at the example avi). I'm pretty sure that's how you intended it to work? http://www.vigville.com/forum_images/example01.zip (<-3dsmax 2009 file)…
When I was a product design student we learned that patent pending cost 10,000 bucks AUS for world wide application. The guy from the patent office told us that Taiwan didn't recognize patents (kinda handy for them as they were considered the number 1 knockoff location at that time).

Sliding (transformations, for mechanical i.e telescope, or hydraulics) or Rotational. Pretty simple. I assume what you most probably want to do is this: Sliding and Rotational Joints (HI…
My "favorite" story is the one ZacD alluded to. Two men have been together for 25 years. One of them buys a house in his name, and they both live there and pay on it, but it's only in the original one's name. They raise a child together, and live there. They both pay on the house, renovate it, and it's their home. The…
you guys want a great parental quote? Here's one from my dad when I was about to graduate highschool 9 years ago... "your oldest brother, see... he was born with a lot of talent... but no ambition, he's lazy... your older brother... he wasn't born with the most talent, but he makes up for it in hard work.... you... you…
a big chunk of the console industry is nintendo, even though they are the cheapest, they don't operate on a loss for the hardware. To my knowledge the only times this happened was with the xbox and the PSP. some factoids: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2542136.html?q=PS2%20DVD I really can't fathom how the hell they hope to…
Find a college with a great undergrad astudio art program taught be teachers whose work you like and respect. The program should emphasize representational art over non-representational. The work of the art faculty should represent this. That takes some research. If going for a 2-year degree, complete it, but weight it…
