Simulating Car Motion Using Reactor (Wheel)  By WatchandLearnPhotoshop Rate It  | Review Reactor is a powerful tool that comes with 3d Studio Max, it makes it possible to simulate realistic dynamics based on physically-defined properties, such as hard body, soft body, cloth, and liquid. It can simulate the reaction occurring when a box falling from a high place hits the ground. This could be compared to all the time required to do the same effect using keyframes, and that wouldn't still give us a realistic animation similar to the one possible to create using reactor. This tutorial will teach you how to simulate car motion using the Wheel Reactor. The video below features the result that we are going to create in this tutorial.    Hits:1257    Rate:  5.0(out of 5)    Vote:2   Submit Date :2007-06-09   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

rolling a ball along a path  By ben cowell Rate It  | Review This is a very simple tutorial describing how to animate a ball or a wheel rolling down an irregular path. It was devised by my in answer to a need for a car which could drive around corners but still have the wheels rotate accordingly. I assume you know a fair amount about MAX and won't bother explaining every little detail.    Hits:1184    Rate:  4.5(out of 5)    Vote:2   Submit Date :2006-03-16   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Compositing a 3D rendered object into Video  By ben cowell Rate It  | Review This is a very simple tutorial demonstrating how to take 2D video footage and composite a 3D animated object in the scene. I'm not going to go into every specific MAX feature and option used, Instead I'll be concentrating more on the actual process and flow of work and files.    Hits:802    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-16   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

REALISTIC TEXTURING  By ben cowell Rate It  | Review In this tutorial we'll be looking at techniques for using textures and materials to create realistic objects. I'll be using 3D Studio MAX as an example but you can easily apply these techniques in any other package.    Hits:740    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-16   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Setting up a figure with IK legs.  By ben cowell Rate It  | Review This tutorial is designed to take you very quickly through the process of boning and setting up a figure with IK ready for animation. Note that this set-up is simply for the legs, and represents only one solution for wiring a figure. Work your way through and then try to expand and experiment with the techniques.    Hits:671    Rate:  1.0(out of 5)    Vote:1   Submit Date :2006-03-16   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Simulating Curtain Movement Caused by wind Using Reactor (Cl  By WatchandLearnPhotoshop Rate It  | Review Reactor is a plug-in for 3DS Max that allows animators and artists to easily control and simulate complex physical scenes. Reactor fully supports integrated rigid and soft body dynamics, cloth simulation and fluid simulation. It can also simulate physical behaviours such as wind, wheels and motors. You can use all of these features to create rich dynamic environments    Hits:600    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2007-06-09   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Making a 3ds Max scene using Reactor Water and Reactor Cars  By Gurijala

Hi there and welcome to this fun, easy tutorial which is going to teach you a couple more things about Reactor. Here’s the scenario. Two cars are going to come speeding down a track, bumping into each other and off against the walls, jump over a ramp and then fall into a swimming pool. Follow the step by step instructions for more details....    Hits:598    Rate:  4.5(out of 5)    Vote:3   Submit Date :2007-12-12   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Creating a lottery machine with 3D Max and Reactor  By Gurijala

I’m sure you have all seen the lottery machine in action. They are usually glass spheres with metal arms inside that rotate around, mixing the balls up. Then a little hole opens up at the bottom where one of the balls with a lucky number falls down. This is what we are going to create in this new tutorial. Follow the step by step instructions for more details....    Hits:227    Rate:  2.5(out of 5)    Vote:2   Submit Date :2007-12-12   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Creating a Rube Goldberg machine in 3D Max  By Gurijala

A Rube Goldberg machine is an exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. They are usually made of household items and take longer to make than do the actual task they were designed for. Good fun though. Here, our machine is going to perform a very simple task.

Simulating A Running Fan Using Reactor (Motor)  By WatchandLearnPhotoshop

This tutorial will explore one of the many functions of Reactor in 3DS Max, which is a powerful tool that lets us simulate various real-life physics so that we can, for example, simulate physical behaviours such as wind, wheels and motors. We will learn in this tutorial how to create a simulation of a fan with the help of the Reactor Motor, Point Constraint, CSolver, and the Rigid Body Collection. I will show you how to use these reactors to create an animation similar to the one you see below. This is an intermediate level tutorial, make sure that you know the 3DS Max basics before attempting this tutorial    Hits:333    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2007-07-23   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Auto key tutorial, AKA: Easy animation  By WatchandLearnPhotoshop

This tutorial will teach you how to easily animate an object using the Auto Key animation technique, this technique lets you animate without bones or anything. Using this technique you set the initial and final stages in the animation and the program automatically creates all the stages in between them making you a smooth animation without a lot of pain. You could use vertices, faces, objects, or anything including any modifier that lets you alter the shape of a model to animate using this technique. This tutorial is targeted at mid-level 3DS MAX people who want to get into animation    Hits:162    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2007-06-27   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review
