Controllers


  • In setting up a controller for an object in a scene. In this case an animated eyeball:
1) set up your nested layer with the parent spline (controller1) and child spline (controller2)
2) child spline (controller) will parent the animated object; animated object must not be in the nested layer; otherwise it will transform the same way the 
3) right-click child spline and select "wire parameters"; select for your child spline (controller2) to move in z position and then, select for your object to rotate either x, y, or z rotation
4) connecting controller to object and inserting "degtorad" next to the (xyz) positions/rotations





as you can see, the degtorad is applied

3DS Max Snapping

2D Snapping -  snapping on same plane Z axis 2.5  D Snapping  - Sanpping objects in space as if they are on the same level Top Viewport; not perspective viewport this Top Viewport works because of the axis these objects are in.\ 3D Snapping -  Move object in space to exact x, y, and z coordinate Its a generalized snapping method. That isn't as controlled as 2D and 2.5 D Rotational Snap Toggle  2D Snap The cursor snaps only to the active construction grid, including any geometry on the plane of that grid. The Z axis, or vertical dimension, is ignored.  2.5D Snap The cursor snaps only to the vertices or edges of the projection of an object onto the active grid. Suppose you create a grid object and make it active. You then position the grid object so you can see through the grid to a cube further off in 3D space. Now with 2.5D set, you can snap a line from vertex to vertex on the distant cube, but the line is drawn on the active grid. The effec...
