Using MassFX - Part 1

[Kampotscity]

Nice! Thx! ^______^

[manzifabrice]

mass fx is a cool feature of 2012 3ds max, but what about physx?

[3dsMaxHowTos]

@manzifabrice MassFX is based on NVidia's PhysX engine, just like RayFire

[manzifabrice]

@3dsMaxHowTos ok i have downloaded v2012 and i have seen that it's a Nvidia physx based plugin. 1more question, what about reactor and car rigging and other stuff? reactor was easy to use.thanks

[3dsMaxHowTos]

@manzifabrice Reactor has been removed from the 3ds Max 2012 interface. I think the plan is for MassFX to completely replace it but gradually. At this time, MassFX is about rigid bodies, but I believe it will expand into other things (like soft bodies) eventually. Not sure about car rigs though.

@3dsMaxHowTos huumm ok then let's still use v2011

I downloaded the files in the description but I get this error when I try to open castle-start.max... I'm missing a dll called Built-in

con somebody help me?

[3dsMaxHowTos]

@rso This file was saved in 3ds Max 2012. Make sure you are not trying to open the file in a previous version of the software. Since this tutorial is about a feature that is only in 3ds Max 2012 (MassFX), it didn't seem crucial to provide the file in 2011/2010 formats.

@3dsMaxHowTosyes, I have 3D MAX 2011 :P.... thanks a lot for the help

[MrSuperCoon]

Thanks; got it.

[MrSuperCoon]

Where do you find the scene files?

[3dsMaxHowTos]

@MrSuperCoon there's a link in the tutorial description. You might need to expand the "more info" section to see the link.

[3dsMaxHowTos]

@teamEP789 Thanks :)

I like Jeffrey, I even look a bit like him, at least the hair (or lack of it)...
