There are several objects and each object has its own animation.I want to combine all the objects into one editable mesh and remain their own animation.How to do this? What I want is just ONE editable Mesh and each element of the mesh has a different animation.Thank you for your help!

Don't know if you can do that and keep the animation. I haven't used 3DS Max for a while now and have never needed to do that. Why do they need to be in a single mesh? Can't you just group all of the objects together?

I can't really help you without a visual representation of what you need help with.

Screenshots would be nice.

I am sorry I don't know how to upload picture.:)
For example,I want to make a car,its doors could rotate like being opened seperately,(because there are 4 doors,so their animations should be different).But the car should be only one mesh,how to do this?could you understand me?:]

Original post by Anonymous Poster (but with grammer corrections) Then the car would have to be one mesh and the doors would have to be 4 other meshes.

Either that or join them into a mesh and then re-animate the doors.

Yes. Just use the paint weights tool and place a bone within each door.

That way they can all have seperate keyframes.

Thank you all!
I do it.
