Free Car Dynamics Plugin

I can’t believe I read this on a Lightwave forum first. All the trees you see were generated by a plugin he wrote himself too, but is not production ready yet. Amazing !! You may need to login to Evermotion for this first.

I haven’t been able to get it to work. Neither from scratch or even the sample scene he provided.

tested and it’s really good in my opinion.

I test the samplescene and the real-time driving with keyboard.
As free plugin i think it’s good for my little test.

how did you get it to work? nothing I click on does anything. I tried the realtime driving and the speed always says 0, regardless of the amount of throttle it says I have.

percydaman,
select the dummy of the car.
select the keyboard mode of realtime driving
click update surface e select the modeled plane.
click reset animation
click OnRunDriving

with keyboard you must use AWSD like FPS game. :slight_smile:

Good racing!!!

that worked great. thanks a bunch

Still need to spend a bit of time on it…good fun driving! Not really clear on how to attach a car mesh to the rig though.

Can’t wait to see that tree plugin!

I was having fun with it, linked a camera for a drivers view :stuck_out_tongue:

Have you seens the nicely rendered animation? i love the tree’s. think i have read somehwere thats these trees are also of a plugin he wrote. but that one is not yet available…

yeah how do you link objects to the rig, nothing seems selectable.

you need to add the madcar controller to your different meshes that correspond to the helper object.
