Devin Johnston Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Does anyone know of a plug-in that would help me animate a car more accurately? I'd like to be able to synchronize the rotation of the tires with its speed without having to do it all manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbibb Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Madcar is a lot of fun, although I had trouble controlling the car a bit. It's free too! http://www.karba.eol3d.com/Plugins/MadCar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Craft is pretty nice. They have an "automated" plugin that allows you to attach the car to a spline, and the car follows the spline automatically, while you can still adjust the speed manually.

dean@pikcells Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 another recommendation for craft from me. it's best if you use a joy stick, or gaming pad to control the car accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buchhofer Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Take a peek at Paul's script/plug.. looks fun, I haven't had a chance to play with it personally, but he's very helpful in the general max community, so figured its worth a plug! http://paulneale.com/technical/carRig/carRig.htm May be a bit overkill for you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm trying out the Craft software now, I like it a lot but it's not cheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Those of you who use Craft, how do you speed up a car that is following a CV curve? I was told to increase the Gas Pedal (Forw/Backw) Maximum setting but this doesn’t affect my speed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
