Any 3D Studio MAX users out there that wants to collaborate on making MAX
and RCX work together let me know. We could do some tres cool things with
Maxscript communicting directly with the RCX, generating code from
animation, or whatever.
I haven't really given it any thought until I read the Maya thread, but I'm
sure we could do magic with RCX and a package like MAX.

P.S.
3DSMAX is another 3D Modelling and animation package for the NT platform.

The prospect of using 3D transform/rotate data from Maya or
any other animation program for real world robotic control is
a great idea.


Keep in touch all you Maya maniacs!

Cool! More and more people interested in Maya + Robotics! I
was thinking, what about working on a way to program the RCX
with MEL. It would require some sort of compiler, but would
be a great way to train animators on MEL behaviors, or to see
your MEL script in action WITH NO RENDERING! Any programers
out there that might be interested in working on "MEL for RCX"?

In my spare time (yeah right), I am trying to work work out a
MEL script for "smart gears" that will properly effect each
others rotation without having to run a rigid body
simulation, so that I can preview movement in realtime.

Although I'm fascinated with your efforts to develop high fidelity simulation tools using 3D Studio and Maya, I wondering whether this really helps any of us that can't afford the $10K software and associated workstations. To that end, I'm wondering (...) (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
