#1 How to center an object's pivot point

This is the 1st video in my line of simple tutorials that i will do as time goes on. this video shows you how to center an object's pivot point to itself
this tutorial is for 3DS MAX 8

also, messaging anyone shown on the messaging programs shown on my task bar will meet an undesirable fate. basically, they will message me, add me to the chat, and you will run. so dont do it

Gee id love it if the 4 people who disliked this would leave a comment to explain why they did so, so that i could maybe help them with whatever problem theyre having

i really dont think thats too much to ask

@Donut117 cant see shit capn, your video is too small

[Donut117]

@jomann18 wow yes it is. did not realize it only uploaded in 360. unfortunately, i do not have the original video file anymore (which i think was around 720p). try to just look at what buttons i click. even though you cant read the text, you can still figure out how to move a pivot point by watching where the mouse goes.

i mean, unless you have your ui configured differently

Click on Object ~> Click on Hierarchy next to Modify at the top right ~> Under Adjust Pivot choose Affect Pivot Only ~> Then under Alignment hit Center to Object o.o

This was helpful. I am used to Maya and I this helped to do exactly what I wanted in 3ds. I just wished the video would have a better quality, since I could hardly make out the options...
