[mad]

is there any possibility to autoupdate object reaction modifier every frame so it will wokrs with animated objects?

Hi mad,

 

Ok, we'll check and fix it.

 

Thanks!

Hi mad,

 

We checked, and it works... Please send us your scene where it didn't work.

Thanks!

i tested it a little bit and it seems that it didnt works if the reaction object is linked to other animated object, see the file

 

animated_object_reaction.max

[Eduard]

Hmm, there's animated only the helper object and the reaction object is not animated. I don't know yet how to track it...

Do you've the opportunity to animate the reaction object itself?

 

Thanks!

[mad]

yes i have and i solved it by this way but take it as that it will be better if this works too

[Eduard]

But there is another way  

Create any animation inside your GrowFX object that will not affect to anything. For example, create a new dummy path, and animate its length without any restrictions. This will force recalculate GrowFX object in every frame of the animation  

 

Cheers

such a workaround

I duplicated this issue just to see it for myself. It indeed works!
