Changing an Objects Pivot Point | Axis and Planes

Arizona Mar 19, 2019 3Ds Max Axis and Planes Series, 3Ds Max Tutorials 0 Comment

After reading this blog, you will be able to draw and navigate around the different planes and axis in 3Ds Max Pivot Points much more easily.

Changing an Objects Pivot Point

The first thing I would like to touch on is how the centre point changes the rotation of your object and what axis it’s rotated in. If we go to Hierarchy, we can press the button ‘Affect Pivot Only’.

 

Now if we move the rotation point to the bottom corner of this object. We can press ‘Affect Pivot Only’ again to disable the tool as we have successfully moved the rotation point.

 

For a one-time fee of only $15 you will get unlimited access to all our 3D models & scenes

When you become a member you will be able to download all of our models and scenes for free.

If we rotate the object now, it will rotate on that point. We can spin it around the rotation point we have set.

Rotate From New 3Ds Max Pivot

 

If we want to change the rotation point back to how it was before, we go to ‘Hierarchy’ > ‘Affect Pivot Only’ > ‘Centre to Object’ and now the rotation point is back to the centre. So if you go ahead and try to rotate the object, it will rotate from the middle of the object.

This is helpful when changing the point of where your object is rotated from. This all helps when you’re modelling and rotating different shapes.
