Constraints and Settings

Below are are listed 3ds Max' animation constraints that can be used with Verge3D. The parameters supported by Verge3D are overlaid with green color.

#

Position

This constraint forces the object to which it is applied to have the same location as its target.

#

Orientation

This constraint forces the object to which it is applied to match the rotation of its target.

#

LookAt

This constraint applies rotations to its owner, so that it always is looking towards its target. Thus you can implement billboarding with this constraint.

#

Use with Puzzles

All constraints, once assigned in 3ds Max and exported, can be removed, muted or ummuted with a puzzle. Unlike in 3ds Max, a removed/muted constraint does not reset the object - this puzzle just leaves the object with the same transform it had just before removing or muting.

In addition, Position and Orientation constraints can be assigned at runtime with a puzzle.
