Very nice tutorial showing most important secrets of animating link chain. Thanks a lot for this tutorial, I followed all it's steps one by one to solve my design. If it possible.. showing the equation of animation (script) more clearly.
Very interesting tutorial, showing both the fun parts, as the parts which are part of the job, including solving problems. Good explanation ;) Will try it a.s.a.p.=D
@pols1985 : I do think that the number of chain parts is correctly calculated. The main point here is the adjustement of the chain path is not really greatly made. Here, the path has a static shape but in reality, you should make the shape more flexible and/or add a 3rd gear to adjust the chain softness.
Hey! Thanks this is great help! However groups of my segments/pods have been rotated by 90 degrees? If I move the segments around the spline the segments rotate 90 degrees at these points. I'm not sure why, when yours came out fine? Cheers!
@JoeLaFrite007 Ah that appears to have fixed it! Strange...The only problem now is half of the segements are facing inwards and the others are facing outwards. Thanks for your responce!
Hi mates ! Thanks for your feedbacks. I'm actually trying to deploy this solution in any situation (X or Y or Z plan)...but it seems max 9.0 has a problem with the Spline solver.
@direktorukraini : Just because you did your path in top view ;-) Once everything is set, you can easily rotate the whole stuff to the direction you want ;-).
You know what??? I dont understend what did I have done,but it doesent twisting anymore! But I have made it on the flore in top view. And I ned it on the front view. I will try to change it tomorow.
GAYS, IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH TWISTED CHAIN - MAKE SURE, YOU DRAW CIRCLES (SPLINE PATH) IN _TOP_VIEW_ IN PREVIOUS PART OF TUTORAIL. ALL WILL BE FINE. THUMBS UP TO HELP OTHER
Does not help. I'm still having twisting because Spline IK up nodes are fucking horrid at this shit. Either way, you shouldn't rig chains like this with bones, which is a fucking pain for me, because my lecturers for some fucking reason demand it.
can you help me out. i have a specieal driver gear and in one of the four 90 degree quadrants there are four teeth. it contacts the spinner gear once every rotation. also the spinner gear should only spin 180 degrees then stop until the teeth get back around. any help would be appreciated.

Thnx a lot for tutorial, nice way to place chain correctly! Really help me to put chain on sprockets on my bike.
thank you for giving up your time to explain this
thy, greatest chain tut i have found

Excellent good tutorial
@meshtools : maybe the path as not been drawn in top view ? I had the same problem by drawing in front view.
Hi mates ! Thanks for your feedbacks.
I'm actually trying to deploy this solution in any situation (X or Y or Z plan)...but it seems max 9.0 has a problem with the Spline solver.
I also have the parts flipping - tank tracks, but same concept. The solutions I've found online do not work. The track sections insist on flipping.
@JoeLaFrite007
Its its twisting only in a two points.
top job joe
Helped a lot Joe! thx.
thank you sir...

wow, very useful!, very well done.
@direktorukraini : In my very first tweaks, i had the same problems. Have you draw, your chain path in top view ?
But...
My traks is olweys twisted along the path.
What to do??
You know what???
I dont understend what did I have done,but it doesent twisting anymore!
But I have made it on the flore in top view. And I ned it on the front view. I will try to change it tomorow.
How to deploy this construction to 90 degrees? Sorry for my English!
Thenqu peal!
Its wrealy helps!
Would there be any way to add physics to this rig? I would really like to know how to make tank tracks that react physically to animation.
@streincorp : cheers mate !

What do you have to do when the chain goes in the opposite direction of the wheel when it turns?
nvm figured it out. cool tutorial.
@meshtools Sorted! Don't worry! :)
nice tutor! thanks!
merci joe la frite !
can you help me out. i have a specieal driver gear and in one of the four 90 degree quadrants there are
four teeth. it contacts the spinner gear once every rotation. also the spinner gear should only spin 180
degrees then stop until the teeth get back around. any help would be appreciated.
My chain is twisting badly also banking bad, i turn off bank and mess with twist start and end nothing works help pls!
thank you very much :)
i made in top view the spline but it is still twisting
@JoeLaFrite007
No.In front view.
Becausi I dont no haw to rotate this all.
the tutorial is good but need to work on the parameters number of chains and size.
was ist da besser als in Blender?
Lol, LEGO gears XD Not bad, not bad :D
Ne...
It doesent work...
The chain is twisting alonge the path!!!
I dont understend what to do!!!
Hurray for lego gears :D
okay
m'kay?)))
ok? Ok?
So many Okay ))))))))
