Bones (Read 180 times)

I need to do a relatively complex animation in GMAX to animate a control surface. It involves pushrods and associated linkages. Can I use bones to keep all the various bits in touch with each other? I don't know how to calculate the various fulcrums involved and doing it all manually will be a bit of a pain.

If possible, how etc.

Thanks.

Forget it, I did it manually.

From what i've seen, bones are not supported in Flight Simulator modelling. It appears, though, that IK (inverse kinematics) is ?

I didn't think they would be TBH but I was hoping it might have made it easier to work out the different angles of rotation of the various parts.

Sorted it though, once I had figured out how to get the rotation to use increments of less than 0.5 degrees.
