Hi I want to wire a wind strength value that is going to be controlled by the speed of an animated object, lets say i have a box starting at frame 0 then it accelerates forward to the frame 25 then it slows down to the frame 50 then it stops for a while and so on…
I cant wire the wind strength to lets say the Y position then it would only rise, so is there a way for me to see how fast the object is moving?
(i know that it is possible in after effects so I think that there is a way in 3Ds max too)
thanks in advance
(please ask question if you don’t understand what i mean.)
speed is magnitude (CurrentFrame_pos – CurrentFrameMinusOne_pos)
I have solved it now, this is the script i wrote:
How it works: I first create a Dummy($speed_D) then the script converts the speed of the moving object ($Box002) to X_position keys on the Dummy($speed_D) then I can wire the x_postion of the Dummy to the wind strength
let’s say your object’s name is “obj”. Then create script controller on Strength parameter of the wind and add:
distance (at time currenttime $obj.pos) (at time (currenttime-1) $obj.pos)
