You are welcome. MassFX, is the "new" simulation system by Autodesk. It uses the PhysX engin to calculate simulations for cloth and rigidbodies. It replaced the hole "Reactor" system in Max starting I think at Max 12 or 13. The 3DSMaxHowTos channel has to a good beginners tutorial on it.

[@Mokmaheim]

Thanks so much! This was very helpful

[@309Jolly]

thank you..and the Pint Cache was awesome..

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

The animation will render with the time scale applied once the timescale is set. It is generally a good practice to render our an image sequence of your animation instead of a movie file. You want to convert it to a movie in either a composting software like nuke, or flame or in an editing software like After Effects.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Hi Steve, ease does a great job witch what you are looking for. Watch it again and try to make sure you understand how the curve effects the animation.

[@ripiosuelto]

Good tutorial. I just discovered this tool to retime animation and I thought it was exactly what I needed. But in the end I can't use it because I can't freely edit the tangents of the retimed intervals. I would need an ease in/out option (not just ease in OR ease out), and it should also affect the track outside the retimed interval, otherwise the flow is not smooth. But I found a better solution: just apply manually an ease curve to one or more track, edit it (and here I can do what I want with the tangents) and then, if I need to extend this retiming to other objects, I can just copy and paste as an instance the ease curve to other tracks.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Thank you.

[@Bakinec80]

Super tutorial thank you! but how i can use this tool width biped animated character?

[@PhO3NiX96]

What about particle flow ? I want to make a slow mo effect on particles, but, no point cache possible, so any advices ?

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Thanks.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Thanks

[@HOTA200]

This is so sweet! but how can i make the camera going so slow without any animation ??

[@naomanmalik6052]

how can we make simple bomb explosion slow? i mean the segments of mesh after explosion move so fast but i need to slow them down for a stop motion sort of animation? i tried re time tool but this doesnot work on moving mesh segments speed? any help would be appreciated...by the way very nice tutorial....

[@adnanerochdi6982]

caching is a very VERY handy tip!

[@Sharcn13]

my hero

[@LightTheDark8]

thanks very great tutorial !! but can i ask you what is that "Mass Effects Tool set" ?? and those new icons up left that made ot fall and cloths is it a plugin ?

[@remithivierge8528]

Hey! :) I looked at all your videos and I didn't saw any tutorial about how to animate with mcloth for a dress by exemple on a character in movement. Also, can we animate it so we can make a render of the result?

[@Elchin3d]

After baking all keys I can not see key frames in curve editor.

[@NovaEra520]

Hi, who knows if AutoDesk allow monetization of tutorials?

[@MobileJokes]

sounds like a pilot in the airplane. love this sound

[@amiryousefi5374]

god thanks man

[@c.realxperimentslane]

this.is.fucking.gold.

[@HOTA200]

If i make a house and the camera going revolve around the house the camera goes quickly how can i make the view camera slow down? thats my point : ) sorry for bothering you ..

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

You are welcome.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

you are welcome.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

You are welcome

[@Matice21]

so I can only do this in max 13?

[@arthersim90]

please......I wont to make a slow motion in pflow.....how

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

no bother. If you just want to slow the camera down overall, increase the timeline range and slide the keys further apart. If you wish to slow down a specific part of the animation you can use the method from this video.

[@gastondantos2348]

Hey do I have to bake the re time when i like what i have ?

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

You do not HAVE to bake it, you can just keep the time tool going, baking is only if you want to do things with it that requires you to bake it, like taking the animation into another program where the re-time tool does not exist for instance.

[@DjMeemex]

So we gona start up making a box:)))...i`m gona dream that box...ffs:)))))! thanks mate...nice tutorial

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

You are welcome Teofilattodeleonzi

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

If there is no animation on the camera there would be nothing to slow down.

[@petethechin]

He, shows that in this video
