Substeps/Key The number of reactor simulation substeps per keyframe (that
is, per time step). The higher this value, the more accurate the simulation will
be, although it will also require more computation to simulate. For information
about time steps and substeps, see
Time Steps on page 3892.
Time Scale This parameter maps between time in the simulation and time in
3ds Max. Changing the value lets you slow down or speed up the animation.
Values less than 1.0 produce slow-motion animations, while values greater
than 1.0 produce sped-up animations.
Create Animation Runs the simulation and creates keyframes, starting at
Start Frame and ending at End Frame.
Update Viewports When on, updates the scene in the viewports as the
animation is created.
Create List/Layer When on, creates a
List controller on page 3194 (unless one
is already present) for the position and rotation tracks of those rigid bodies
using Position/Rotation/Scale transform controllers. A new subcontroller is
added to the List controller to hold the keys created by reactor. This new
controller is weighted to 100, while the previous controllers are weighted to
0. In the special case of rigid bodies belonging to a character studio
Biped on
page 4147, a new biped layer is created every time a reactor animation is
generated.
Preview Animation Previews the simulated scene in the
Preview Window on
page 4099.
Havok 1 World/Havok 3 World Rollout
Utility panel > reactor > Havok 1 World/Havok 3 World rollout
This rollout lets you set some general parameters for your simulated world,
such as the strength and direction of gravity, the scale of the world, and how
easily objects can collide with each other. When Choose Solver is set to Havok
1, the rollout name is Havok 1 World, and when Choose Solver is set to Havok
3, the name is Havok 3 World.
Interface
The only difference between the two different versions of the Havok World
rollout is that the Havok World 3 rollout contains an extra group of parameters
at the end, named Simulation. The following illustration shows the Havok 3
version of the rollout.
