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.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create this carved sphere, and learn about some spline operations, like attaching, trimming, welding, etc,... We will also learn about the Lathe modifier, and Chamfer modifier, where will see how to fix some issues when using those modifiers by modifying some of their parameters. Plus some other stuff, so keep watching it until the end.

I've written about setting up your local maxscript help-file: read it here. Alex Mak has posted a nice addition to this. Read it here on cgTalk. Now it's very easy to make your own, local maxscript help behave exactly the same as the online maxscript help. It automatically feeds the word at the cursor-position into the search field. This is what was missing from my previous solution.

In this 5th video, we'll learn about Editable Poly object, its sub-objects elements, explaining some of their main tools, what they do and how they work. After, we create our first 3D model, which is a simple drawer with shelves and 4 legs. During the video, you will hear many additional, and useful tips that will make your workflow easier.
