13 On the Assign Rotation Controller dialog, double-click Rotation List.
14 On the Assign Controller rollout list of tracks, expand the Rotation: List
track by clicking its + icon.
15 Click the Available track and click the Assign Controller button.
16 On the Assign Rotation Controller dialog, double-click Euler XYZ.
A second Euler XYZ track is created. This track controls rotation keyframe
information of X, Y, and Z axes based on the local coordinates of the
front left wheel.
Automating the assignment of List controllers:
MacroRecorder is a simple scripting utility that records your interactions in
3ds Max. It converts your actions into a script that you can reuse to accomplish
repetitive tasks.
In the previous procedure, you manually assigned position and rotation list
controllers to a single wheel on your Chevy. You will now use MacroRecorder
to automatically assign list controllers to the remaining three wheels, as well
as the car body and steering wheel, so that the entire rig uses the same
coordinate system in its animation.
1 Go to the bottom left corner of the interface, right-click anywhere on
the MAXScript area and choose Open Listener Window.
