Can you post a screenshot of your hierarchy? I did a test in Maya 2009 32-bit and it worked for me.

I think Maya might have crashed during the first time you loaded Craft Director Studio and since Maya saves all changes on exit, if it crashes, those changes will be lost.

Max 2010 4wheeler ext 9.2.1 I animated everything at 24 fps and it rendered visually fine. Then changed frame rate to 240 for a small segment, which will change the timeline accordingly, I just playback at 24fps for 10x slo-mo effect. When rendered, they definately go backwards. Not just the classi...

Hey Guys, Maya crashed during a session, and now, after rebooting, I no longer have a button in the shelf to relaunch Craft. Does anyone know how to the get the button back? Or at least know the command to launch it from the command line? Thanks! Todd Todd Sheridan Perry VFX Supervisor, tsp. Todd, ...

I tried VRay for 3ds Max 2009 and to me it seemed pretty straight forward for the focus effect. Target Distance to Target Distance.
FOV was trickier since it uses degrees so you have to use some math to convert the value when it's transferred.

Greetings, This is my first post and I hope I get some response. We are using a LWF in our rendering and animation so we always use VrayPhysicalCamera, I haven't seen any tutorial using the VrayPhysicalCamera in the forum or in youtube. I already saw the "Turbo Tutorial - How to use V-Ray Maxwell f...

I tried the Burnout in CINEMA 4D and I'm getting some strange rotation so that's probably what you were talking about. We'll look into it and hopefully we can have it sort for the next release (early 2010).

Didn't notice this until i changed frame rate to 240 from 24 so that i could cut to a slo-mo burnout shot. The wheels very clearly are spinning in reverse. It does this both from a stand-still, and also when using the burnout while driving to do a doughnut. Anyone else run into this? I'll manually ...

here's a really, really, really early animation test using the CDS tools. This is for my short film, "Snow Crash Chapter One: The Deliverator

Looks promising Ed! I'm excited to see the final results, keep us updated!

There is a video on youtube of a semi truck and trailer driving around on a white floor. This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ub4OKZqxd8 It's user-created, not something we've done. But let us know if you have any questions during the rigging process. You should be able to find most answers in...

The problem has now been fixed and the fix will be included in our next release (version 9.4.1). Thank you for reporting this.

What is funny is that you have an animation of the semi-truch and trailer that I am using 3d animation Craft Director Tools (truck & trailer). I was wondering is these was a tutorial using tht truck and trailer? BradFred, Which animation are you referring to? But to answer your question, I'm pretty...

I am rigging a truck and trailer, I had planned on using the TRuck and trailer template in CDS 9.31 but my model does not fit, is there a tutorial to doing this. Can I scale all aspects of the template? Basically I will be tipping a tanker truck, and ideas where to start? Thanks If you want to use ...

Either in text or as a screenshot. I would guess you've done some strange parenting.

Estimated arrival of a BETA with the Jumping Mode back in is 4th of December.
