Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
You can only scale a biped in figure mode (unless you apply a sub-anim controller). Reset X form would be a very unwise thing to do. At best it would realign that pieces local pivot to the world severally hosing any attempt at animation. At worst it would completely corrupt the biped taking any animation along with it.… -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
Crap :P That makes sense, and would explain the problem... especially since I didn't adjust any roations or really do much to the biped at all except animate it. So the question now is... is there any way to fix the animation short of scrapping it and starting all over? I tried some of the suggestions of going in and out… -
Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
Ok, I've noticed this problem before, but I've never had so much trouble with this issue as I've had with this latest animation I was trying. It's easier if I show a picture than explain it myself: Note the torso being completely offset so that it's moved forward and overlapping the pelvis. This is my issue... when I… -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
I know what happening. I see my students do this from time to time. You were probably doing a rolling, tumbling, or flipping animation. You rotated the Bip01 object to point downward. But then you rotated the spine, pelvis, and legs to be "upright." Notice in the pic the helper aligned to the messed up biped is pointing… -

Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
Ah, didn't think it would screw it up O_O Sorry... When I animated my robot it did the same thing where it would compress all retardedly. I fixed it with the X form, so I thought it was the same principle xD -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
Ahh that makes a lot of sense, flipped COM. I guess he rotated the pelvis around also? Animating with the local pivot will help you keep the COM facing up through the biped. He might be able to fix it in workbench by adjusting the rotation on the COM then the pelvis and the spine. But I think you're right he's probably… -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
I think this is your problem. All rotation even world rotation is translated to local rotation. The more your biped moves out of alignment with the world the worse that problem will get. It is also easier to position the pieces based on their local rotation. For example -Y Local on bicep will always rise the arm regardless… -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
She* And wow, you got it, that totally sounds like what I was doing... and I guess what I was doing wrong? Yes, it's a wall flip. And yes, I was rotating the bip 01, but didn't realize I wasn't continuing flipping it to match the spine and pelvis. I'll muck around a bit in workbench, but sounds like I'm into redoville… -
Re: Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
hmm, never seen this before. What happens when 1-you save out a .bip file of the animation 2-trash the biped character 3-create a new biped character 4-reload the bip. Could this have happened because of adjust pivots for either the lower spine bone, or pelvis? Are subanims on? Just some of the things that came to mind…
