In this tutorial I explain how to do in 3ds Max, the animation system or RIG of the "Kinetic Wave Toy" → https://youtu.be/F6MTOZWviAU

A step-by-step tour of all the techniques and tricks, where we also see many important concepts that every 3D animator or generalist should know.

From the basic 3D modeling of the RIG to the animation and programming of a User Interface (UI) with MAXScript, which will allow us to easily access all the parameters we need to explore the full power of a small parametric mechanical animation system.
