Very nice. Thanks for the breakdown too.

Out of interest. Why did you create your own car rig instead of using something like madcar ? Also, it looked like you key framed the collisions with objects rather than using dynamics. Am I right in thinking this and if so why did you choose this path (apart from the extra control you have) ?

Very well done! A professional work!

Great Stuff!

Your lighting is always impressive!

It reminds me of this 2D game a while back with two players controlling two toy cars racing across a kitchen table... I can't remember what it was called, but it was awesome. We used to play it during the exam session with my roommate

Best regards,

Thanks, that's it! The 2D versions were so much better though...

Best regards,
