Hey please I have a question It isn't about reactor

it's physx sdk engine

could you help me how to load Physx sdk engine into 3d max

I have installed and did every thing but how to load it into 3d max :(

[VisualKnights]

@gtagtagtagtag: With SDK you mean the developer tools for PhysX or the actual plugin that is supported by 3ds max? You can download the plugin via nVidia after creating an account. You can then put this plugin inside the plugin folder of your 3d max folder.

i have a qeustion, i want to attach a cloth to like.. air? if that------>  |__| is the cloth, i want to attach the upper side to the air like its a curtain.

do you know how to do that? (sorry for my english) thanks.

[VisualKnights]

@linkspecialproximity If you want the cloth attached to an invisble object (like air), you can either use a 'Dummy' or you can hide the object you are using. For instance: you create an object (a cube or sphere) that the cloth uses to hang on to. Ones the cloth is working correctly, you can go to the properties (right mouse button) of the object and select "Hide". This way the colth is attached to the object in the air but it is not visible in your scene or when you render it. Good luck! :D
