Need help: Mtor and Maya dynamics

[flamedevil]

This thread has no really success.
Anybody can help me ?
thanks

If all you are worried about is rigid body dynamics, all you need to do is make an invisible rigid body polyobject for the collision and link it to the sub division surface.

If i link an invisible object with another one, this one become invisible too.
How can i do ?

There's a difference betwen hiding an object and making it invisible. For the collision object set it's visibility key to off. This way the subdivision surface is visible, and it's collision object is invisible. I'm pretty sure MTOR will support an objects visibility channel, if it doesn't, just assign a transparent shader to the collision object.

I understand, it's good now.
But it's a boring job if i want do a character affected by dynamics.
I have to do 2 object each time i want to do things like that.
I don't think pixar work by this way :)

Thank you citizen :)

Well maybe not directly, propably they've made their own scripts to do the basic procedure for them, but making good 3D is more or less a biiiig pile of tricks, so don't you think Pixar does the things somewhat "cleaner" than the rest of us ;)
