@spacep0d lol no way definitely not doing that wayy too loud :P

[eeemiel]

Thx, before watching this vid I had a chain but couldn't figure out how to animate it (without reactor).

This was the help I needed indeed :D

One tip though, the sound could be louder.

@eeemiel ha no problem and I think that's what people comment most on my vids, I am trying to get a better mic, I just don't have enough money lol

hey let me ask something. So what If I wanted to make a Bike chain using this method how do I get the chain to rotate around a path?

[TheHelpYouNeed]

@RaceHorseDesign #1. you'd need a longer chain #2. You'd need a circular path, #3. there would have to be no beginning/end to the chain it would need to be completely connected. that should work, if not, feel free to send me a pm

[RaceHorseDesign]

@TheHelpYouNeed I appreciate you replying I gave a shot to what yous said problem is chains are connected to the path so only way to animate the chain is to move the path I need the chains to follow the path im not that advanced in 3d max but ill try to figure something out. thanx for trying though

[TheHelpYouNeed]

@RaceHorseDesign made a quick tut for u i'll upload it when it's done compressing, it should be what you want

i got a problem with connecting the splineIK Solver to the chain and the line. It wont let me select the last chain part plz help me..

[spacep0d]

Put on some headphones, turn the volume up nice and loud, and listen to your video at about 3:03 to 3:06. Ow.

Definitely wanna fix that. Thanks for the video tho, good info.

[spacep0d]

Nice video.

The audio is terrible tho. You need to back up your mic or something so you don't blow out people's ears when you say P-words.
