3Ds MAX quick question
Advertisement
Those icons can be found on reactor toolbar. This toolbar is by default on the left side of the MAX UI.
Icon from the step 4 is Rigid body properties. In the Rigid body properties you can set various physical properties of objects (mass, friction...). He has checked the Unyielding box which means the object will act according to the animation not the physical simulation. Simulation geometry allows you to specify which kind of object will represent your mesh in reactor. This setting can greatly affect performance of simulation.
Icon from the step 5 is reactor preview. Its located in the bottom part of the reactor toolbar. You will probably need to scroll toolbar to see it (or you can go to reactor->preview animation menu).
Then you can view your simulation (press P to play).

How do you access that reactor toolbar? It just sticks me with the main UI.
I'm using 3Ds MAX 8. It just gives me reactor->Create Object->Rigid Body Collection. Thanks for the help so far.
