Tiny stutter/jerkiness

Post by dv2000 » Fri Jul 28, 2023 10:56 pm

Hi,
If i simulate a car driving then go to the middle of that simulation, for example, and start simulating again from the middle the simulations 1 and 2 will have a very suddle stutter. It is barely noticeable but still noticeable when simulations 1 and 2 meet.

When you make your simulations make sure simulated object is not far way from origin of coordinates 0,0,0. Otherwise you will have some jerkiness in animations.

Maybe 3ds max precision values get worse farther away you go from 0,0,0. Unfortunately we have a terrain 5 miles and we have to use system units in inches since most models sold are in inches

I have similar problems. What I do, I link terrain and all objects in the scene to master Point helper or Dummy. And for each scene I move this master point object such way that my scene on terrain was about origin of coordinates 0,0,0. Then I animate CA vehicles on terrain. CA vehicles are not linked to master point object. If I have a few scenes in different locations on terrain, I also have few point helpers for each scene which are markers where I need to move my master Pont helper to keep each scene around 0,0,0. And I just hide/unhide layers with CA vehicles for each scene. I hope my description is clear.
