Reactor is a great and powerful tool that comes with 3dsmax. Without it, you would not be able to do very complex and physically correct animations. This tutorial is a short introduction to Reactor.

With the help of two little examples I will illustrate Reactor works.

The picture above represents a small scene I did in 3dsmax 6 without any other plugins. The idea behind the animation is quite simple: Just imagine standing in an old church tower; it's sunrise and the bells start to ring, and all the mechanical parts start to move.

Hard to make without the help of reactor, isn't it?

Okay, to disappoint you: I am not going to explain how to recreate the above scene at this moment. For now you must be satisfied with a short introduction to reactor, and be patient, for the other parts will come soon...
