Tips and Tricks

This section offers suggestions for how to better use CAT in production.

Topics in this section
  • Customizing IK Using Constraints
    CAT's IK is customizable to the extent that you can use all regular 3ds Max constraints, and even write scripts to control a limb. Following are descriptions of two leg setups that you might find useful: Knee LookAt and Orientation Constrained.
  • Mapping Motion from Motion-Capture Point Clouds
    If you are working with motion-capture data and would like to bring point-cloud data into 3ds Max and then map the motion onto a CATRig, this topic can help. Rather than a tutorial, this is an example of how to solve this problem.
  • Mirroring CAT Muscles
