Dany90 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Can anyone tell me how to make hydraulics animation work for FC or BS? LookAt Constraint doesn't work:noexpression: And this will happen again and again and again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beczl Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, It should be working : http://beczl.tvn.hu/wip/Hydraulics.wmv See this tutorial, hope this help: http://www.3dvalley.com/tutorials/rigging-robotic-joints-in-3d-studio-max I created the Mig-21 hydraulics animation in same way. But sometimes doesn't work without some helper dummies. It's the hardest part of the modelling as I recognise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany90 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 thx for help I'll try the same way then. And this will happen again and again and again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeard2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is the LookAt constraint usable in DCS World animations? I just tried it and couldn't get it to work, but Beczl said (a while back) that it did. I looked for the wmv file, but it appears to be gone. In particular, I have a landing gear strut with shock absorber and hydraulic actuator attached. If I use arg based rotations for the strut, I see the LookAt constraint working in 3ds Max, but if I try it in the model viewer, the orientation of the shock absorber parts are fixed and do not follow each other.
