Great that you got it working! Thank you for reporting back.

I'm a bit rusty on the details because it's been so many years but Craft Helicopter was the first tool that was built and it was created like a simulator; it's very advanced behind the scenes. This made it difficult and time consuming to update when the Autonomous mode was introduced, so it was skip...

Nice! Looking forward to more updates.

Pictures would be great or if we could get a video preview, it would be even better!

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Fun project!

When you say that skidding doesn't work, do you mean that it does nothing, or that it doesn't give you your desired results? Maybe you could try a combination of skidding and External Force. Position the External Force arrow so that it is pointing towards the rear side of the vehicle and then when d...

ok it looks like we fixed it. The train terrain mesh was created on an angle because the train is moving downhills. So we had to create a cube alighted to the origin and then attached terrain mesh to the cube in edit poly. I guess craft needs terrain mesh to be perfectly aligned with world space Ni...

I have two suggestions: 1. Please improve jump mode. Even tweaking suspension and max wheel ext still doesn't cut it. Car fly forward too much especially small cars. Just add a setting how fast cars fall to the ground once they are airborne (please see madcar 3 and their jump mode). 2. Please creat...

English please.

or at least combine main car wheels and trailer as one unit so you dont have to check each key to record How do you mean? we have 8 wheeler and making 4 extra wheels requires linking gravity. enabling key per each whe would be nice to jsut shift drag rear wheel from 4 wheel ext and copy as many whe...

How do you mean?

You can use the tool Extra Wheel. Check out this tutorial:

You are correct! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Thank you for reporting back on the problem. Are you now able to open your other projects?

Thank you for reporting this. We'll try to reproduce the error and see if we can find out what happened.

Was it working previously and now it's not working? Or are you just now trying out the tools and getting this problem?

Could it be due to your network connection? Slow network? Firewall? Are you behind a proxy? Are using a special DNS solution?

When rigging a crawler track to my model when I save the scene and the CDS rig...upon opening it after closing the file I have to re-parent everything. Is this normal?! Because this is very inefficient...having to re-parent everything. every time I save and close and reopen. Hello Jason! No, that i...

That is impressive Ive wanted to make a MoL Trilogy style animation for so long, and I wish I had the patience to do it.

What's "MoL"?

I use 3dsmax 2015. I downloaded the trial version of craft director. I did the installation successfully. When starting 3dsmax, there is a "craftdirectortoolsadaptor_3dsmax2015.gup failed to initialize error(eror code 126) . What could be the reason for this?" Hello firatturkel! That sounds bad! I'...

Hi anyway to make a wheel wobble? Also anyway to use different wheel shapes like a triangle or square? Thanks Hello! If you rotate the 3d model of your wheel a bit (before binding it to the 4-Wheeler's wheel), like my very poor illustration below: http://chattypics.com/files/WobbleWheelPNG_9hdi91b7...

The first video isn't working for me but the second one looked really good. Nice work!
