Like most tasks in 3D Studio Max and similar products, rigging robots is easy, if you know how. Depending on the complexity of the robot, some may find it even easier than rigging a human or animal character. ... more

This tutorial shows how to make decent looking shockwave.

For many cloth animation is probably the hardest thing to do. I agree it is very difficult to do, but with the right amount of know how you can create a realistic looking cloth effect with very little ... more

This tutorial will explore one of the many functions of Reactor in 3DS Max, which is a powerful tool that lets us simulate various real-life physics so that we can, for example, simulate physical behaviours ... more

Reactor is a powerful tool that comes with 3d Studio Max, it makes it possible to simulate realistic dynamics based on physically-defined properties, such as hard body, soft body, cloth, and liquid. It ... more

Reactor is a plug-in for 3DS Max that allows animators and artists to easily control and simulate complex physical scenes. Reactor fully supports integrated rigid and soft body dynamics, cloth simulation ... more

this tutorial demonstrates simulating cutting and cracking effects in 3d environment. this tutorial is in text format and i’ve included images in numbers correspondingly where they apply. i’ve also ... more

This tutorial will teach you how to create a realistic looking flag ripples effect against wind using the Flex modifier. The Flex modifier could be used for simulating soft body dynamics to create, for ... more

In this tutorial I will create a sticky fluids effect using glu3d and later explain the same thing with pflow. This is not a step by step tutorial, little knowledge about the glu3d fluid system is necessary ... more

This tutorial will go through an expression for the opening/closing of a claw around a ball.
