Cloth dynamics question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make a cloth simulation in 3DsMax 7 using a chair with rigid body collection and and a plane with a cloth body collection. Everythhing works fine when I preview the animation in the HAVOK window, but when I press create animation, he only creates the animation (keyframes) for the first 100 frames. At 100 it freezes...! (I have my timeline set to 600 frames)
Can anyone help me out?? I've tried several things but can't find the solution..

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Don't worry there is an easy answer to this.

By default Havok only ever creates frames 0-100 of an animation. You will need to change this setting. Go to the utilities panel and open the reactor tab. In there open the preview and animations tab and you will see settings for start and end frame for the simulation. Simply change the end frame to the end frame of your animation. In your case this would be 600. Now it will create animation frames for your entire animation.
