Max 5 Reactor test (Help needed)

[Brin]

Hi all,

I am trying to get to grips with reactor, not having much luck

I have done a few succesful things following tut's from 3ds max 5 Fundamentals.

But I havnt been able to find a tut for what I am trying now--

ok here it goes---

I want to produce the effect of a vertical blind being opened/closed, I have animated a small box to traverse the path and attached a reactor rigid body box to that, I have then put the vertical blind (another box) with a reactor Cloth> mesh select> Reactor AttachToRB modifiers on it as with the previous tut's, when I run the calculations it produces the attached avi file.
It cant quite be seen in the vid due to the low quality render but the rigid bod moves correctly along the animated path but the vertical blind stays still. (And wobbles about a little bit)


If anyone thinks they know what my problem is, have a look at the attached, other wise dont bother downloading the file as it isnt anything special. It is an avi vid using divX 4.1

Thanks for reading this (If you got this far).

ps, Im not sure if this thread should be in the WIP section of software help section? I am intending to create a full room with lighting and textures to go with the blinds

Could u post a screen shot of ur modifier stack and also one of ur reactor cloth parameters? And i think this should be in the software help section.

Can a mod move the thread if it is in the wrong place,
