[eventfularse]

No worries, fixed it.

[eventfularse]

There's something up with my axis mover. Instead of it having the arrows to move it at any axis, it's just three lines which are grey and red. Not blue, green and red. Can anyone help?

i asked my sir..the jerk said..you will have to do MANUAL ANIMATION OF THOSE BRICKS...

i found could nt do that..i complained to the director of institute and he got fired hi hi hi hi hi

any way thankxxxx a lot!

[unknownvictim1]

[boscher5050]

THANKS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO FUCKING TALKS

[BlouBlue]

@boscher5050 well this guy talked 4years ago x) but I understand what you mean

[RaahulSAX26889]

@boscher5050 yaaa u right!

[bahtiyar29]

thank you :D i did :D

[cotiusek]

very thanks mate:D

[jagjagin]

my move tool only moves in x and y WTF

[NorwayDouche]

thank you

this really helped alot, honestly. i favorited and liked.  :)

[BlockbusterGuy11]

my boxes jump as soon as i start previewing the animation, does anyone know y?

...none of the boxes are overlapping

[NorwayDouche]

@BlockbusterGuy11 maybe they are tuching the plane...

[voodoopeos]

@BlockbusterGuy11 me too and i did exactly what the tutorial said.....can anyone plz say any idea

[Clambercty]

@BlockbusterGuy11 You have your gravity way too high that is "Z" cord-net under in reactor which is under gravity. And maby try messing around with World Scale too maby set that to 1 or something.

[presbarkeep]

@BlockbusterGuy11 its highly dependent on scale. check your scaling and reactor parameters the make sure you have relatively real-world values.

[RCTHub]

@BlockbusterGuy11 try reducing your colission tolerance

[1994Rehab]

@BlockbusterGuy11 I actually had this problem too..It was because the gravity was positive..perhaps that is your problem..make it -980

[TheVompatti]

@BlockbusterGuy11 Make sure they dont hit the plane or what u have..

[MRsticksmovies]

hey my reactor was longer than 100 frames and when i click creat animation it stops my animation at 100 how do i make it longer?

[bookac]

@MRsticksmovies in the reactor settings, in the menu where you can preview or create animation, you have timing settings, there you can set "The Start" frame and the END FRAME :) hope it will help :)

[harjinder14]

Thanks a lot man i subscribed :D very helpful tutorial. and the mic helped a lot because i didn't have to go back and forth, i just listened and followed along :)

[dydziooo]

how to add that toolbar on the left?

[Dan903c]

@dydziooo ya i dont got the tool bar on the left either help plz

[EbuDeyyus]

i solved the problem, it is related to metric system.

[EbuDeyyus]

ok i found it but the bricks fall a lot earlier before the car hits.

[kwiiky]

holy crap! i did it on first try! woot. thanks for the tutorial.

[TehParody]

Hi everyone, I am using 3ds Max 2011 (student) and havoc 3. when i try a preview sim, the pyramid just falls down before the car hits it

please help

thanks

[harjinder14]

@TehParody hey i found a solution! re-create the animation, because you might have moved the animation key when it was already rendered. it worked for me

[bewulf3]

it says to me to use concave mesh !! what the hell is it

?

[LTF85199]

Thank you



[silkypixel]

Perfect example for Reactor using the 'car' and boxes. Nicely done.

"There are no entity collections, or they are all empty".

Where do i get these?

Also i dont have the menu at the left which you do, where would i get that?

THANKS!

[ymilner16]

@mockhazzard you need to right click in the toolbar and choose reacor, choose them, and click on rigid body collection

[lukey597]

[HeartBeatPDuctions]

[jonichiban]

@pmg1180-

To display the reactor toolbar:

1. Right-click an empty area of the main toolbar to display a list of available toolbars.

2. Click reactor.

[rustytoe178]

[rustytoe178]

@TheShootHappy yeah lol, i hate those biped's, there retarded...i made a bullet animation today, but when i got the rigid body collection and the reactor done, it wouldn't keyframe anymore, so i gave up lol...:)

[grimtango5280]

[spyros49084]

[hazdxb]

thank you SOOOO MUCH! lets get to destroying some cities now!

[jjvan777]

after i click reactor>preview animation..it show me a error say "RB collection not defined"......what is this problem means?

[rashuki]

After i render it , the boxes dont fall down anymore after the car crashes into them ? how can i fix this ?

[LiamS04]

does anyone know how I let a box fall down and shatter it into peaces like glass? or let it bounce like jelly? please send me a message if you know, I would appreciate it.

[girrrrrrr2]

@LiamS04 im thinking you make the box all broken up at the start... so when it falls the parts just fall away from eachother... and if you really want, have a bunch of smaller boxes in a bigger box. the big box just falls through the plane... so it disapears.

[Alyaz5]

nevermind i've found out what was wrong

[Alyaz5]

i get error : there are no entity collections, or they are all empty. Can any1 help please ?

[sneakylegend999]

Thanks alot ... Every1 else talks forever, you get straight to the point. You got my thumbs up

[marekk13b]

mhm nemam tu listu na lavo...ako sa to nastawuje?

[hustlin2osix]

Hey, I did what you said and the boxes weren't connecting but they still keep exploding. Can you help me?

[JoeAlcorn]

When I preview the car doesn't show up.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, instead of a box I'm using a sphere for the car

[metroid557]

THX man great tut i subed

[endorphinECWwresling]

2:34 click on what i don't have those options on the left side man please replay

[GlopeClover]

@endorphinECWwresling On the top toolbar click customize then customize user interface. Once the new window opens, click on the toolbars tab, there should be a list box, on default it should say Axis Constraints, change it to Reactor, it should be set to hide, untick hide and we now have the left reactor toolbar

[IIRockstarrxX]

The movement tools on my 3d max have went really small do you know how to fix this? Please help. Its the z y and x lies that come up on the object when you click it that are really mall, it makes it hard to use

[kamykerDDOpl]

@IIRockstarrxX

Customize >> Preferences and look for check box "Use Large Toolobar Button" on right -side.

For gizmo - click + or - when u using move, rotation, scale or any whot using gizmo.

[IIRockstarrxX]

@kamykerDDOpl THANKS!!!!

[JimmyOwnes]

I hate 3ds max 2011 o.O you can't fucking move a fucking box without having to fuck around on that shitass program... -.-

[Clambercty]

I'm having a problem with 3ds max reactor. I make the cubes and when the box hits the cubes all the cubes explode kinda. I don't know why this is but check out my video of it happening please.

[Clambercty]

My Blocks explode, when the car/box hits the cubs. Its really wired i checked every thing its the same as yours! so i dont know what im doing wrong! Can some one help me?

-Can some one tell me what im doing wrong?

[Clambercty]

I made the animation right, but my problem is now exporting into another program to make it a video and add music, how do i get the video in there>?

[toshiraka]

lololoolol click on the arrow that is at left of the "Turn off Captions" button and select transcribe audio. Watch the automated captions as the video is played. I laughed so hard xD

[MonakoBoy]

i cant find the rigidbodycollection. I have the 2010 version

[bartzner93]

@MonakoBoy  press "customization">"Show UI">"floating toolbars" and close all unneeded toolbars

[LoaracX]

how to render with reactor if i render this to avi i always get a video without reactor

[dranoel1963]

anyone can tell me why i dont have the menu on the left?

[LoaracX]

[dranoel1963]

hmm damn....i already deleted it lol

well anyway...on the control panel it doesnt wana delete aswell for maya

and i cant install it again ;( how the hell i fix that crap :(((

[kalvan5]

i wana try makeing a game and wat not, thats what i think of alot.... and its kinda funny how he kept breathin in the mike XD

[Godisen007]

there is no dropdown called "axis constraints" for me.. Do you have 3DS Max 2010 or a previous version? I tried searching myself for something else but I couldn't find anything..

[Dethreid]

2010 costs around $4000, however, if you are a student and enrolled in courses learning to use the program you can get a 14 month key for about $160, you can also get a perpetual key (doesn't expire) for about $365.

You have to understand, people make money with this program, it is a profession. So if you sell your models/animations, you best have your behind covered by actually purchasing it and if your a student, 165 or 365 is not bad for something that will be your career.

[Kaoznerd]

try doing it with a cannonball going fast

then on the "wall" select all the pieces and click on fracture reactor button

this will "build" a strong wall hard to destroy XDDD

is far more realistic and fun but slower =[

[sm0kiii]

good wrk

[jwl665]

So basically, this is an improved google sketchup?

[PaladinsruleX]

Haha, Good one.

This is like Sketch up X 1,000,000

[dranoel1963]

ei someone tell me how to make models for it so i can make it better lol + how to make flames and stuff

[MultiJacob123]

its no axis constraints or stupid dropdown box!!!

[MultiJacob123]

how to get the left side panel?

[iTzSlaiTzZx]

My boxes just float away?

[minimemarcus88]

cause you suck. nah i have no idea sorry, try checking your gravity settings. the Z should be set to -980. if its 980 then they will float away.

[Bammer958]

Looking for someone to make me a 3D bullet, message me if you can help.

[qrsvideos]

Mine says all entites are empty?!?!This is the most confusing tutorial i've watched in a long time.

[bogieman987]

[fogliettamontiel16]

[shikatronas]

[Clambercty]

I have a question- when i click "Preview Animation" it says "There are no entity collections, or they are all empty" (IN RED) Underneath "WORLD: default_world" underneath that "Gravity strength seems too high at least for real world" My boxes are off the ground and every thing. I set the X at 0 y at 0 and Z at -980 and is not working? why? I then i made them all zero and it says gravity is too low. Im confused. Tolerance is 1 also.. WHAT DID I DO WRONG CAN YOU HELP ME?

[reanthegreat]

@Clambercty are your boxes in a solid body collection?

[Clambercty]

What do you mean by that? There just like his. Were i made one box, that is 1,1,1. then i did " SHIFT and made more boxes that were not touching the ground/plain. Does the Car/box touch the plain?

Ill try it again though for the 20th time.

And what do you mean by "are your boxes in a solid body collection." you mean touching? No they are not touching. They have space in between.

@reanthegreat,

DIDNT have room for whole message.

The boxes are not touching at all there is space in between. and it's not one big box with a bounch of little boxes outlined in the large box. Im very
