3ds Max Path Deform Scale 2
Author Name:Daniel WichterichA spline based rig. An alternative approach to using PathDeform with more control over twist and scale.1. Create a straight Spline - every vertex on that spline will be a helper to control the position2. Pick Spline4. Adjust X Y Z to align the orientation of the box to your spline5. Adjust width and length6. Set twist helpers - this controls the amount of helpers to control twist and scale7.
Max Path Length
Subdivisions - this controls the final resolution of your mesh8. This script is very nice, however I have a problem.I am not sure if it is me that use the tool wrongly or it's because it doesn't work properly in 3dsmax 2011.I can create one splinerig just fine but as soon as I try to create one more I get errors.What I tried is this:1.
Choose the first spline and press go (it works perfectly)2. I select the next spline3. I press 'set new'4. I get the error 'No '+' function for undefined'I also tried to not 'set new' put that results in another error where it generates some helpers but not correctly and it gives the error 'No 'delete' function for undefined'.
Wrote:HI, in max 2018 upadate3 i am trying out the new path deform (object space). I have animated the driven scale with some keys scaling down over a couple of seconds, all very simple i thought. However the object doesn't update with the animation, so i'm wondering whether this is a limitation of the modifer?thanks.Works just fine here. Can you perhaps post the scene and describe what you are trying to achieve? Is it a scale of the object over the length of the path then you wouldn`t need any keys for scale, just adjust the scale curve.
