Tutorial 3ds Max: Hydraulic piston rig

3D studio max tutorial :
Mechanical rig: link and constraint to animate hydraulic piston system

[@milosvajdic7467]

Briliant, thank you. It has saved me countless hours of trial and error. No other tutorial is as good as this, even though you made it 9 years ago.

Как же долго я искал этот урок ))) How long have I searched for this lesson ) Thanks

[@Belz-yd5rv]

Не подскажешь, как добавить четвёртую секцию цилиндра. У меня сплошные косяки.

Very usefull! Thanks a lot!!

[@Stanislavlvanov]

Thank you😉

As for 3ds Max 2014 and after, it's not possible anymore to create a constraint loop.
They made it so that you can't select a target (for a constraint) that either already has a constraint toward the source or is the children of an object with a constraint toward the source.

Thanks a lot, i struggled to do a LookAt constraint loop

[@phaserra]

So how do I make this work now?

[@josephbrennan241]

@@phaserra you need to use dummy helpers

[@BvG-ck2ry]

Could you please also show how to do it with 4 cylinders. I have been struggeling with that. I managed to get it working but the equal distribution of the movement over the four cylinders got me stuck.

[@Belz-yd5rv]

How to add Fourth section???Very big problem.

[@aldodarmawan4971]

no sound, not good for beginner

[@Wilma_Dickfit_huh]

This doesn't work anymore.

[@TimLeu2011]

Too bad there isn't any sound. More people will learn from this video if there was sound, telling them what needs to be done. Showing them is most likely not enough, especially for beginners.

[@edgarmiller8662]

If someone is far enough along in 3ds max that they don't need sound then they don't need this video. At the least text could be used.
