Forum - Craft Animations - 3d animation tools

Hi I know I talked about animated mesh an car in the previous post. I ma still having problems. I have a box linked to one car that act like a moving raft. And then I have another car on top of the box that needs to move around the raft and at the same time being transported by the raft. Unfortunate...

Yes, at certain limits it will spin out of control so no you are not able to get it to behave as quickly as an RC Helicopter can be. My work around suggestion would be to simply animate in the "slower" speed and then bump up the speed of the frames/compress the keys created to make it look quicker....

Hi if you open config dialog for vehicles and then try to check uncheck recording keys or rename vehicles max 2018 will crash

UPDATE
I think I was able to fix it by scaling keys with rounded percentage numbers like 50% etc Still testing

it seems that we can use external force to push down one side of a car but then we always have to hold the button for this

Hi One of our wheels is going to be just a rim Anyway to have a car lean more where the tire is missing? We tried to scale down a wheel but then suspension moves more down making car level again.

Thanks

Hi How do you delete sim animation. The problem is we want to place craft helper in a different place and when we hit simulate it starts flying and sometimes going back to the initial place THnaks My suggestion would be to clone the rig and then move the new clone as this would not have any keys at...

Thank you!

maybe in a future release you can introduce less tilting forward at high speeds and auto stabilization at max speeds similar to your two wheeler where it does not fall when not in motion unlike the madcar. this is a real rc cooper at 173 mph https://youtu.be/N4jeLF2VD04?t=1m48s and it is stable as a...

HI Patrick I did the same what you did and it is still not working. car just stays and the platform goes up without it. I animated vertices. I am using 2018 plugin version here is my scene https://we.tl/t-70D104jx1l Ok so I know what is different between our scenes. It seems like you had used the "...

By the way I tried with one surface with release version 16 in 3ds max 2017 and animated terrain going up and down, forward and backwards and the car still did not go up or down almost like the terrain was treated as stationary . Also DYNAMIC MESHES always unchecks on its own in any version. You do...

You should only have one surface (one polygon) not two in order for it to work properly.

Hi Patrick,
maybe you know about this bug but after simulating helicopter, then playing back the animation and then closing 3ds max. 3ds max will crash

Hi Currently our heli max speed is set to 20 Setting it to 40 or more make helicopter tilt forward too much and it starts spinning and moving out of control. Anyway to have a quicker helicopter speed without loosing control or maybe tilting down less? We need it for quick flying RC helicopters. Than...

No this is a general issue in 3ds Max 2018. Not any of the other versions. This issue appears after creating animations and then deleting the tool. thanks. But for some reason car falls through. I have two surfaces linked to the gravity node. One is a moving platform but car goes through it I attac...

Also right click and delete 4car ext after it was simulated crashes 3ds max 2018.4 Yes, this is a know issue that we are currently working on getting fixed as soon as we can. Hi Patrick, could you at least tell me if it is a bug with an animated surface so I dont have to continue trying to find the...

Another update:
after I click use dynamic meshes and then hit close and go back to the main preferences the box is unchecked again. For some reason it is not saving this option
maybe thats why I cannot drive on animated surfaces?

i enabled use dynamic meshes and added noise to the ground and it works. The car follows the noise displacement. The problem is what if I want my car to drive up onto the platform that starts moving up or over a bridge that opens up it seems that the car falls through because the platform was animat...
