Help with animation parameter.

Tommy L · May 8th, 2008

I have an object that is animated to follow a path constraint over 90 frames. I would like to render a single frame which shows the object in all 90 of its positions. Im sure its possible, anyone know how to do it?
Thanks,
Tom.
Oh, Im using 3d studio max 2008 and vray.

Have you tried using the spacing tool?

You could distribute it along your spline 90x for each frame...

The problem is the object is scaled over the 90 frames also. Im using animation because I need to scale the object as it repeats along the spline.

Its actually for a train track seen from above that becomes smaller as it goes along. This isnt as easy as it sounds, The ties have to get closer together, scale down and follow the spline.

Any ideas?

You can use Tools/snapshot with range from 0-90 and make 90 copies
