[ItsParker97]

im so frustrated my fucking shit wont break and i did everything he did

[GunGrave4ever47]

hi nice vid!!!! i have a problem i did exatly what u did in the vid and when i click on the start the boxes just move pass the plane !!!! i tried several times and still !!! and one time i got luck and they didnt pass it but they stopped befor reaching it (if u put the view from the side u will see that they are falling but they hit an area above the plane and the shadows are like far on the plane!!!) need help?!

[alexd1gr8]

how do you get this game



[DesignerLukeFX]

@alexd1gr8 It's not a game, it's 3D modelling software :)

[FamilyFirstJ]

[bigboss20001]

i have a question when i go to my rayfire in the physics tab the play and pause button is not working. it should be lit up but its not... idk what to do im using 1.55 and 3ds max 2011. can you please help me... thanks

[DesignerLukeFX]

@bigboss20001 Sure, I might not be able to help but I think the problem might be that you don't have the required physx plugin you need physx 2.0 something (i dont know for sure) in order for it to work.

[1000crispaz]

[tmrialv]

@1000crispaz same problem

[CrankflipSundayProd]

[surferadi96]

@saytara21

found a solution !?

[Gamezonemachinima]

i have an issue tho when they full or somthing falls they dont hit the plane a fuckign invisble surface no matter wicth simulation geometry it dose it everytime its really fucking anoying

[umar6419]

listen to music 1:57 ..Enjoy it ......

[DesignerLukeFX]

@umar6419 Lol, im sorry about the clicking noise. I'll get rid of it in future tutorials

[umar6419]

@DesignerLukeFX no really awesome soundtrack.. .

[cornerofart]

Please change another sound for your mouse,,,,, I heat this mouse please if you need another one I can pay one for you.

thanks for this tutorial

[BleuTech]

next time freaking do something about the mouseclick...

[666cafe666]

nevermind....the demolition geometry work now....but the box didn't break

[666cafe666]

Why my demolition geometry is unsuable ?

[rasmus9311]

Do u need PhysX to do this? :P

[asagpol]

Why is it ghosting the past simulations? I have random invisible "collisions" happening everywhere...

[Sidowse]

DesignerLukeFX Press Alt and then use the Middle mouse button to navigate the viewport.

[RafaelCS3D]

I need some help!

I can't click the play button from the physics too :C

Looks disabled

[Stressbrecher]

i do it like you but it doesnt work :( i cant click the play button from the physics

[ottoelperro]

Hmmm...Followed steps, boxes didn't break. A previous viewer seems to have the same problem. Also, everytime I click "preview animation", a separate window pops out; I noticed you see your preview on the main window. Can this be done? I'm using 3dsMax 2010. Thank you. I've gotten further with your tut than with any other. Cheers.

[DesignerLukeFX]

@ottoelperro What version of Rayfire are you using?

[ottoelperro]

@DesignerLukeFX 15005 I managed to get a ball to go through a wall and break it, but the broken pieces of wall didn't break again upon hitting the wall. Thanks for your fast reply!

[DesignerLukeFX]

@ottoelperro So, just to clarify. You got the wall to break when the ball hit it? but you want those broken wall pieces to break a second time into smaller pieces?

[ottoelperro]

@DesignerLukeFX exactly! I see in your video, your bars fall (I can do that) on the ground. But they also break upon hitting the floor (I can't seem to do that). Thanks for taking the time to help, man!

[vincegeminicastor]

am doing the same procedure but it doesnt work? something is wrong with the plugins i have :(

[godpotat]

That mouseclicking noise makes me crazy! TURN IT OFF! nice tutorial btw

[DesignerLukeFX]

@godpotat Lol, I'll do that next time and Thanks :)

[motoJJbraap]

I cant open custom properties rollout, i have the demo and the text is white not black , i dont know if the demo is limited or if there is something wrong

[SethiXzon]

My objects also do not fracture when baking.

[SethiXzon]

When I have my objects fall onto my plane, they float above it.

[TheSepEvea]

it wont work for me I dunno why ... i do everything but it just fall on the top with out breaking... !! anyway help !?

[CrzayMazy]

What if you want the objects to stay in the sky until something hits them (lets say you animated a sphere to hit them) and have them both fall apart?

[blastertwo]

@CrzayMazy To have an object wait until it is touched by another object before moving or breaking, you need to put them into the sleeping object (or inactive object) box rather than the impact object box

[wangwangster]

nice tutorial m8 if only mr vadim could do one like this 8-0

thx buddy

[GlobalRcon]

[NorwayDouche]

my rayfire wont simulate

ive tried everything

please someone help

[nightwasd]

Question: ¿how do you save or render your animation? since its not in the animation bar i dont know how to save or render it

[nightwasd]

i had the same problem.. but i updated the nvidia drivers.. i myself have 8800 gt... and after i updated it completely installed the physx AND appeared a new tool bar in 3d max and now it works. :) so try updating... good luck!

[deadrabbitskate]

Im not able to test mine HHEEEELP

[DesignerLukeFX]

@deadrabbitskate Which version of Rayfire are you using?

[deadrabbitskate]

@DesignerLukeFX 1.55 the buttton doesnt go white and im using 3dsmax 2010

[DesignerLukeFX]

@deadrabbitskate Sorry, which button wont go white?

[deadrabbitskate]

@DesignerLukeFX The button for previewing the simulation!

[DesignerLukeFX]

@deadrabbitskate Have you added the blocks as 'Impact objects'?

[CreepyMeIsCreepy]

@DesignerLukeFX

I have the same problem as deadrabbitskate

and the blocks are added to impact objects and the plane is made static

[DesignerLukeFX]

@CreepyMeIsCreepy I really don't know what the problem is.

[CreepyMeIsCreepy]

@DesignerLukeFX

I already found the problem

it has to do with physX.

if that has a bad instalation rayfire won't work

I couldn't fix it on my pc but it works on my laptop

[DesignerLukeFX]

@CreepyMeIsCreepy Ah, Ok. Thanks for pointing out the problem. I'm sure they will bring out some form of patch in the future to fix this

[FinalEmnesty]

i cant click enable demolish geometry it does work for the 3ds max 2012 version

[DesignerLukeFX]

@FinalEmnesty Ah, yes I believe not all features of rayfire work with 3DSmax 2012 yet.

[FinalEmnesty]

@DesignerLukeFX is there any other way to do it?

[DesignerLukeFX]

@FinalEmnesty I don't believe there is yet, I don't think that the Physx plugin for 3DSmax 2012 supports it yet. But hopefully there will be an update soon :)

[FamilyFirstJ]

Now for the difficult part, how to add to after effects? Tutorial #2 cause I want to destroy my street

[DesignerLukeFX]

@FamilyFirstJ How do you mean lol. What parts do you want to destroy and how? If you mean a 2012 like destruction where the road comes up then thats quite difficult to do with rayfire, but there is a different way. Check out this tutorial! for road destruction.

If you want to destroy buildings then I have No idea how to do that sorta stuff yet :)

[FamilyFirstJ]

Yay!
