Hey Everyone!<\/p>\n

This week we’ll be looking at a common problem you’ll run into when modeling and animating in 3d Studio Max. When you apply a transformation to an object, a lot of the time 3dsMax won’t actually modify the object so much as add a “phantom” modifier to the stack. This can have some serious consequences when you change the pivot of your object (or worse, when an animation constraint does it for you).\u00a0 It’s often called object skewing, or object slanting.\u00a0 It’s where your model gets distorted when you move, rotate, or scale it.\u00a0 In this Monday Movie, I’ll show you how to recognize the problem, fix it if it comes up, and prevent it from ever happening again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
