After watch a few rigging reel using xsi or maya,I think that it would be much easier in animating if the rig has realtime delay effect.

But I was confuse how to do in max until I got a sample scene from zhangy(www.zhangy.com).After study that scene,I wrote this script.I give a name:realtime spring.But it doesn’t have the “shake” effect,I mean when the dynamic object reach the driver object’s position it would stop.So it actually make a delay effect.

a demo video shows how to use it: http://www.seageo.com/Product/maxRTSscript/videotour.rar

and 2 video about making loop animation:

A fish swimming scene(max9): http://www.seageo.com/show/UPLOAD/fish(max9).zip

It’s preview animation:http://www.seageo.com/show/UPLOAD/fish.rar

My english is bad,so I recode the video in chinese,hope you understand the usage.

I am not good at R&D too,so it has much more space to improve.

Maybe someone would make it better.

ps:script tested in max8 and max9.
