Forum - Craft Animations - 3d animation tools

Hallo ThHanks looks good, but I allways get an error message when starting Directortool in Max 2019. Unable to bind Core Routines. Craft Director STudio is uable to start. But it starts and works as far as I tested it! Windows 10, 3DS MAx 2019.3 Yes, we have received the same observations from mult...

We have now released a new version that are addressing these issues and also added support for 3ds max 2019 and Maya 2019.

We have now released support for 3ds MAx 2019 and solved the performance issues with 2018. You can find it on the following page.

Best Regards,
Patrik

Thanks, I will try. Also please make your dummy cars nonrenderable by default or auto hide them during rendering because sometimes we forget to hid them or set all craft bones to nonrenderable. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi dv2000, In order to quickly turn you need to modify the following parameters when configuring the 4-Wheeler Under Input parameters you have: Steering Wheel (Right/Left) Response Factor determines how quickly the 4-wheeler will go to maximum turn (turn acceleration). Steering Wheel (Right/Left) Ma...

Hi Dietmar, We are currently developing CDS support for 3ds Max 2019 and to solve the 3ds Max 2018 bugs. However, with that said we are quite far behind as we are reworking the backend. We are more or less forced as Autodesk made changes to 3ds Max in 2018 that affected CDS. So, I’m not able to give...

It’s working now...

Glad to hear! What was the problem, do you know?

I do have Maya 2018.5 installed. Could that be it?

Just to double check. The parenting of other objects (non Craft Director Studio) stay intact?

It might. We need to have a closer look on our side to check. I’ll let you know if we need anything additional.

Even if I create the treads it doesn’t save the cds meshes parenting.

Not matter what I do it will not save.

Just CrawlerTracks or any tool?

No, you are not on your own. The issue regarding support is that we operate during weekdays and not weekends. Anyways, no this should not happen. If you have parented a tool to another it should still be parented even after save/open. Does this issue only happen with CrawlerTracks? If so is it diffe...

I use Maya 2017 and the same error. Tried after reboot but still the same error. Any suggestions? Thanks Hi WarnerDib, Are you able to describe in step by step how you get this error? Does it happen if you create a new scene and just one tool and hit record it crashes? Does it happen with any tool?...

This is what I was thinking as well that it had to do with the VS-redistributable. However as Micael said it is included in the latest version of CDS so should be alright there.

Hi Were you able to test the bug with the link in the post above?

Tried just now, however it seems like the download is now gone. Can you upload again? Thanks

Which one of those two ways do you recommend, Patrik? Or is it all the same? It depends. First of all in either case I would always have a small value on the "Gravel Shake Offset Value" under "General Parameters" depending on what fits my animation on the intended terrain I drive on. However, if yo...

do you have any eta with that fix? Thanks

Sorry, do not have a eta to give you at this point. I will let you know once I know more.

So, yes they are creating the same effect. There is two ways of applying gravel shake effect to the rig. By adding a value to "Gravel Shake Offset Value" under "General Parameters" or By using an input device (or in conbination) Gravel shake just now = Gravel Shake Offset Value + Gravel Shake Amplit...

Thanks I Will send another scene shortly. heavy scene problems (unfortunately cannot make it simple. even isolation does not help) If one car is recorded and I have another car chasing it. After the second car is recorded it ends up in front of a chased car. Not sure if CPU just cannot create keys f...

Hi dv2000, I tested the scene and I can not find any problems with it. Are you able to make a recording with the issue and send? Also, take note that the 4-Wheeler Extended simulates tyre pressure and might therefor look like it is under the ground. It might be that you need to turn that off. //Patrik

Well, it depends on the type of lawnmower. We have clients that have used the 4-Wheeler to create animations for lawnmowers and I am pretty sure they did not animate them backwards ;) If you have one where the wheels does not turn just place a pair of ExtraWheels in the same place as the front wheel...
