Hi, my team and I are currently working on a map for Halo Custom Edition and we are trying to put a rotating windmill that looks like a ferris wheel with carts to the map. My friend who made this animation made it so the carts show they are attached to the windmill in 3dsmax8 but they are not. If he does attach it, then the carts will go upside down with the rotation too. So he didn't attach them, and the problem is when he renders it in sapien. It comes out like this:


The cart should be attached like this ingame and rotate it around with windmill like a moving ferris wheel:


This is the direction the windmill rotates/moves:


So anyone know why is that error shown in the first picture happening?

I'm kinda sure it's a problem of scale, i had this before.

Check if the frames are all at a 100% scale in the 3ds max model and in the animations

How do you scale the frames to 100%?

Select the object using scale tool in 3ds max and check in the XYZ input if the value is 100, if not you should rescale the model in editable mesh

Error has been fixed thanks you for your help

nice looking windmill thingy, the only other map ive ever seen with a windmill is that 'feel good inc' map.

I really hope you all are making a windwaker map. because i will play the death out of it.
