Tutorial: 7- Reactor Basics

Let’s get some action here .. and yes, i mean Animation ;)

In this Reactor free video tutorial we will talk about the basics of Reactor in 3D Studio Max, and will learn how to make things fall on each other and so many interesting things to learn.

The cool part here is that we don’t have to keyframe everything so …. Check it out ;)

    I just finished watching the tutorial, and I truly do believe that it is incredible. A few days ago I was inspired by the collapsing of the pillars that was created in the Program, Houdini. After watching this tutorial, I felt that I could produce the exact same result in 3ds max without Houdini. Thanks a lot man! I feel that you tutorials have definately improve since you started because it is a lot humorous and I am learning new materials that I can’t learn from other tutorials. Keep up the good work!

      ” Not many Reactor tutorials on the web”
      That was one of the reasons why i put a reactor tutorial here, plus it’s really fun to see things moving like that :D

    Great tutorial.
    Do you know how change duration of reactor events? Default is 100 frames, and any events, that i would like to happen in animation after frame 100, just don’t do. I have tried to find where to change duration of reactor events, but i just can’t. Any help would be great.

      Hello and welcome to gfx2day.com
      in order to do that
      1-go to Utilities panel
      2-choose Reactor
      3-from Preview & Animation rollout change the End Frame from 100 to any number you want.

      i hope this helped you out :)

    Great Tutorials, i’m learning a lot. Would it be possible to turn off the background music? It loops forever and it’s very annoying after 2 mins. ;)

    It Was So Great Sir,
    At last i could found a tutorial based on reactor, and this tutorial was completely different, especially the softbody explanation. I did like this.
    And can you explain more about reactor(car animation, etc…)
    Thank you, a lot.
