Max Bezier Spline --> .AIW File

Thanks bink ( porque escreve português ?? es brasileiro? )

But if you use waypoints you can create a spline to use in "path constrain"?

And you right, with a camera i get a good point of view of track is very useful for my tests in point cloud

 

..

 

Point cloud is in max! maxScript

i import the points from a XYZ file them use a mesh to store the points.

 

Tests in terrain

 

Hey bink i'm start using C# in MAXscript. I will try allocate points and slow functions like "Get the closest point"

 

..

 

..

 

aiCam

..

 

Many Thanks.

Waiting for the AIW thing script !

 

First impressions:
+ Nice vector maths, good for learning!

- Need to save AIW in rf2 devmode, if AIW is from rf1 got errors.
- When drive in Fast the Camera is inverted.

The error when import AIW from rf1

About the inverted camera in fast drive if i do this..

Code:

if branchID == 0 then	  -- if this is on the Main Path
		(
	          --old code   modPitch 	= 90  + (radToDeg camOri.x)  		--adapt pitch  	 
		  modPitch 	=-( 90  + (radToDeg camOri.x) ) 		--adapt pitch  					
		 --old code  modYaw 	= 180 + (-(radToDeg camOri.z)) 	-- modify yaw  .. notice y-z value swap
		  modYaw 	= -(radToDeg camOri.z) 	-- modify yaw  .. notice y-z value swap
		)
	else 		-- must be a pit lane...   STRANGELY, pitch and yaw are different in the pits ????
		(
		  modPitch 	= -(90  + (radToDeg camOri.x))  	-- adj  pitch  					
		  modYaw 	= -(radToDeg camOri.z)					-- adj  yaw
		)

if use the same for pit lane the camera is is well.

2nd one...

aiCam 2a

thanks fr the corrections and the information about the new AIW rf2.

A good feature would be to create a camera from a spline (center track spline). When create a new track we don't have AIW file
Maybe need a UPDATE button when change the spline or track.
is Just a idea.

 

..

 

If open rf2 devmode using rF1 AIW and save again the new AIW is converted right?

 

..

 

OK confirmed.
