3D Studio Max Questions
russouk2004 replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I guess 1...is for say flaps or ailerons... 1.... Do this.....go to top view,and select pivot by clicking affect pivot only....move the pivot centre over edge of the mesh.....then using the rotate tool...rotate the pivot so it aligns to the mesh front edge...... then still in affect pivot only mode....go to the front view of the mesh....centre the pivot to the middle of the mesh.....and align the pivot in that view..... then when ur happy its set correct....deselect pivot..... go to local view...select the mesh...and when you rotate the mesh in X axis...the flap\aileron should be set correctly.....if not ...go back and do as above and adjust as required.... 2...gear doors and weapon bay doors are the same.....align the pivot as above...to the edge the doors hinges would be in reality...using same process as above.......(make sure in all cases,you keep the door or flap or aileron in closed position when testing...or it wont be iin correct attitude).as for the rails...you may have to animate these as required...not sure how they operate so you may need the info from who has actually modelled them.... 3...uv mapping can be explained a bit when you are nearer to it...saves some confusion with too much info all at once...lol hope this goes some way to help you...I may have an old model you can load up to see how ive done the bits... btw btw....Ailerons,rudder...dont need animating... only items such as....gear,gear doors,airbrakes,flaps,slats...bomb bays, bombay doors,chutes,nozzles...and canopy...need animation.....
