I've had enough of banging my head against the wall, can someone please tell me or point me to a place where I can find out how to make doors open and close during a fly-through? I just can't seam to get the things to move.

 

 

Many thanks,

its simple yar....

first group the door u need to animate,,,

then move the pivot to one end of door where the door is fixed to the wall...then set keys on frames u need to open n close the door...

 

 

for setting key,,,

 

if u need the door to be opend from frame 50..

first set a key on first frame with the door closed , move the time slider to frame 50 set another key.(with door closed), move slider to 60 ..rotate the door n make it open ..set another key ,,,after camera passed through the door if u need the door to close back , move time slider to 70 , close door, using rotate... set key.. u can play with the keys to control the speed of opening n closing ,,,,, increase the frames between two keys ll increase the time taken to do the action,,,,u can use max help file to know more bout setting keys...

the pnly way i found this was decently doable was by making 2 different movies and mixing them in virtualdub (free - premiere wanabee). You make 1 movie till you get at the door , and then you start your next movie with the door open, you can make some single renders to add some smoothness to the opening door action. It's a stupid way but it's the only 1 i can think of that dosen't involve any other expensive app.
