Need to make a coil feature adaptive

[Anonymous]

I have posted a file to IVCF. I would like to make this retracting hose
adaptive so that I can compress it in an assembly. I have been unable to do
so. If you would like to give it a shot that would be great.

Check IVCF - made your hose adaptive by use of a driven dimension to control the length of the hose.

Thanks much for your help!!

Adaptive "coil spring" captured with Animator driving an angle
constraint (10+ hours to render though)

10 hours rendering for 2 seconds of video, eh? Whether it's cost effective
or not, it's cool! Besides it's fun too!

That ratio is about the same for filming by professional movie/tv film
crews... 😉

It amazes me what we simply try to do now that we can.

The coil is not a particularly fast feature in the first place - adapting it
within an assembly certainly wouldn't be something that I would do simply
for appearances. Mapping a thread "texture" onto the external face of an
adaptive cylinder would be a LOT more performant.

Yeah ... it would probably be more practical too, but it wouldn't be pushing
the envelope. I think it's fun to try things I think would be hard to do in
Inventor just to see if it can do it. Too bad I have to get work out too!


No wonder movies are so expensive to make!

Woulnt it be nice if that motion could simply be ported to Max/Viz via the
buildin Max/Inventor import filters.
Problem is Maz/Viz cannot harness the motion setup in Inventor, as that info
is not carried through. I am willing to bet though that if we can capture
things like the spring over time in it's positions at certain frames those
models could all be exported at those frames and imported to Max. The motion
could then be morphed in Max.
Max would render that in minutes. But the time creating morph targets could
be offset with what Inventor takes to render or visa versa
Good Brain teaser for those who like to play like my self. Nice animation
