Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
Yeah, I wish I could open your file to help you better. Next time use a biped if mirroring animation is going to need to be done often. What your trying to do can be done literally in two clicks. Copy Track; Paste Track Opposite. When I need animation to be identical on both sides I usually animate them at the same time. 5… -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
Sorry, don't have max 7 here (still in 5.1 until this project gets done). Have you tried copying controllers? Another way could be to use Merge Animation (using a Character assembly). Only time I've mirrored animation it was with Biped. -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
I was almost there! Finally after spending the day working on it.. I thought I was set. No. See.. The problem is the dummy objects are whats "correcting" the animation. Even on monsters, if I unlink the dummy object, the copy wil suddenly be mimicking the originals animation orientation versus reflecting. Since I need to… -
Max: Reflecting boned animation
I need to reflect animation across the z axis. Basically I have 4 "legs". I want to reflect the position on rotation of the left side legs unto the right side. I first tried mirroring the leg with animation, but A: It will only work with animation already made. B: Only correctly seems to keep the right position at that… -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
CrazyButcher (or other) do you have any other plugins to try? Im using Max 7 and having limited.. ok no. Results with the above plugins. To reiterate. I have a custom bone structure, where I need to reflect the animation from the left unto the right side of the legs. They all have the same bone lengths, just their… -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
Doesnt look like Merge Animation will work. It has no option for mirror/reflection. -

Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
Select your bones, helpers and whatnots and either press alt+rightclick over them and choose Set As Skin Pose or go to the Character menu and choose Set Skin Pose there. Then you can just pick Assume Skin Pose if you want revert your rig to its previous postition. Still searching about the animation thing. -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
I'm not super-experienced with mirroring animation, but what are your bone pivots looking like? Like, how did you mirror your bones? Can you post a screenshot with the pivots shown? I'm wondering basically which axis needs to be flipped and which axes can be just plain copied as-is. You might be able to just copy… -
Re: Max: Reflecting boned animation
I think the IK is messing up because again, they are linked separately to a different dummy object already (the long rectangular tube in the pic). (I need the legs to grasp and lift as if they were picking up a bar).
