Setting the pivot to the center of an animated obj

By Devoti · 2011-02-07

Description

before i start and as usual, i know that no1 here can fix any of my problems as i used to fix them all by myself, here's forum helped me 0, no1 could handle my simplest problems, but what the heck i'll try again asking for a solution of my problem, and it would be a miracle happening to me if some1 managed to deal with it, so,
the prob is,

I have an obj animated with 1500 key-frames, but it seems like its pivot changes its place with respect to the object during the motion, so what i want to do is that i want to set the pivot to the center of the object for all 1500 frames, any ideas?? surly no??

is there any script hiding in the website around here??

You know, if you have started every thread like this, I am not suprised no one gave a f*ck about your questions in the past. Try to be nice and give a detailed description...

y i think so too, that it's a bug, maybe cuz i played with the bones places before simulation, that caused the change in place, cuz i made many objs before this one without playen with scene root bone's place, and the pivot was fixed, i'll try to make it again and if i see this prob occurs again i will ask again for help.. thnx mate ;-)

hmm... very strange bug, never see something like this. As i said the pivot is not animatable, that mean you cant fix this with or without script. I only can suggest to send the scene file to Autodesk for analyse.

effects of this problem when i try to attach in game

when i attach in game, the pivot is the ground level, so at some moves the soldier's upper half is only what appears for the moves from 0-500, and from 560-1500 he's way higher of the ground.. that is making me crazy :@ ;\

simply i just want the pivot to be set at the center of the obj for the whole interval 0-1500 (set for each frame) as if there is a tool or script to do so... is there any?

Hi Devoti,
maybe your problems are too unexpected and for that you get 0 help from this forum. You can center pivot quickly with

CenterPivot objects

but how your "pivot changes its place with respect to the object during the motion" then the pivot (in Max) is not animatable?...
