how to animate a vibration in 3dsmax6
Hi, does anyone know how to animate a vibration without having to key in every single movement? Specifically, how to make the forearms of a biped vibrate -like he was firing a machinegun. much thanks. -
Re: how to animate a vibration in 3dsmax6
Character studio I tried it on regular bones and it works perfect. At first I applied the noise controller to the biped -- nothing happened. So I experimented -- what could be causing it to not function? Because when I make a fresh biped I apply the noise and it vibrates like hell. So I applied the noise controller FIRST… -

Yeah, that's why I said that I've had mixed results with adding a new controller to a Biped. Theoretically it should work, but I don't think it's stable yet. So the best option is to add the noise controller to the pos of the gun and then link the hands to the gun. Here's how you do it with Biped... Position the hands on… -
