Animation Question?

Staticspector · 15-04-2004, 11:12 AM

Hi all i have a question for 3ds max users

Im trying to do a snow like affect where a object hits a plane and the plane actually deformes to the shape of the object hitting it

for example if a ball hit a plane of snow i want it to leave the dent where the ball hit

If anyone can help me that would be nice

Try to make a small plane with some darker snow under the ground plane. And then you animate the small planes, so when the ball hits the ground, the small plane shows upp a little, little bit over the ground.

I think that's one way?

head over to maxplugins.de and search for a free plugin called Object Deform, this will allow u to literally dent an object with another object. Ive used this for everything from craters to footsteps.
