Does anyone know if this is true? If I have a tight repeat loop, and want to give the system a chance to take care of business without leaving the loop, can I just insert periodic updateStage commands? Are there other, maybe better, commands that will do that? -Phil Cole Tierney wrote: I

My memory of this is foggy at best. And probably from a few versions back. It should be easy to test, though. That said, even if it does work, I'd only use it for debugging. Looping on the frame is a friendlier way to let director breathe. Does anyone know if this is true? If I have a tight

The easiest way to do as you describe is to use the havok physics that is built into director. If you would like to email me I can send you a small dir file that is a very simple example of using havok. Or you can IM me ICQ:13463220 or AIM: whatshisnutz6979 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

hi shailendra im still new to 3d but i believe that if u choose the parent model to rotate under parameters/which model? then all the child models will follow with the animation. Also when u animate in 3ds max choose keyframing over path animation because the animation will be lost with path.
