How Locks Work - Animation

Thanks =)
This might seem very simple and self explained to those who already know some about lockpicking, but for those who have a fresh start, this is, as you said, very important information.

You have to know how the locks work, in order to really get the feeling of what you'r doing.

About standard, raking, and bumping): I will be looking into reactor in max to see if I find a way to make the pins react while I insert picks. If not I have to do it manually as thisone.

this ios an incredibly important video for anyone who has an interest in locks, lock construction and lockpicking. great video!

i was looking all over for a cross sectional reference of standard locks tonight. if you could ever make one showing specifically how the raking technique works, that would kick ass, man.

Thanks. :) It wasnt any big "update" to the previous, but it's rendered out in better quality, and its rotating the other way. Also, some effects have been added, as you see. I will try a remake of the whole thing, or make another lock later this week. I dont know when I will render it out though, but I'll post pictures at the forum ;)

excellent rendering! job well done, and thank you for custom rotation that we talked about.
