Animation in 3Dmax

This was a simple piece of animation we done in 3Dmax class. Firstly we created a box and then duplicated it 3 times. We then snapped all the boxes together and added in dummy boxes between each one to create a hinge.


We then clicked autokey to start animating,we rotated the first dummy 90 degrees which in turn rotates the first box.

Then we moved onto the second dummy and created new autokeys for it. We rotated it 90 degrees also.


We then done the same for the third dummy.


The boxes have completed a cube now and to rotate the whole cube over once more we have to select the last box and rotate it 90 degrees. This controls the whole cube.

We then added in another 2 boxes either side of the first one. We added in 2 other dummy hinges also.

We linked the boxes to rotate inwards to close off the cube at the end of the animation.


This is when the cube finally closes up at the end.
