about my Descent controller design.

Post by Isaac »

Made in 3d studio max.
It was made from a box and i just kept cutting away. I had to look at my psx contoller to figure out how to cut the plastic on the 3d model.

The way i did the phone cord.
1. Make a small part of the spiral using 'spring'. 1 turn only.
2. Then draw out how you want your phone cord to look.
3. Make sure the spring has geometry and is not a spline.
4. now animate it along the line you drew.
5. use "snapshot" and it will copy the object a buch of times along the path.
I've never made it like that before.

Wow the cord turned out really well. What made the ends of each turn of the spring meet?

what prevented me seeing things sticking out of the cord where it bends?
