Animation scrubbing?

possible to scrub back and forth animations by dragging a object around?

Yes, it’s possible. THat’s how a wire made in Industrial Robot. It’s animation baked and according to movement of the robot knees it moves.

it’s in Main tab of Puzzles, in cables_update procedure.

When you say it was ‘animation baked’ how do you do that in 3DS Max so that it works with Verge3D?

And does it make the animation smoother vs if you used the ‘set animation frame’ puzzle without baking it first?

I’m using a slider with the ‘set animation frame’ puzzle but it isn’t very smooth because it is moving to each frame instead of smooth interpolation like when you use the ‘play animation’ puzzle.

Don’t know about Max but I usually bake animation in Blender using animation baking tool (may be something 3ds max has try to find on youtube some videos) then export it to max if needed so the animation has each set each keyframe along all animation.

Something like this.

Could you, for example, bake into keyframes a cloth + wind simulation? How would you approach this in Blender?

Here’s a simple tutorial how you can do it.
