Which system, 3d program and versions are you using? We have never heard of the wheels not turning. You can create your own WheelCenterMesh by using the tool Gyro. Place it in the center of the wheel and make the "Box" a child of the wheel. Connect the part you like to use on the center to the "Arrr...

It should recognize the analog sticks and buttons without a problem. However the Xbox controller uses the Right and Left Trigger as the same input which can be a bit confusing and that is not something we can change. Try using the detect function when configuring the analog sticks. Click on the dete...

Try to uncheck the "Use Fast Ray Cast" from the "Ray Cast Properties" in the 4-Wheelers configuration.

Ok great if it works. Probably a performance setting in Maya.

Sorry for late response the scaling and default position would change after frame, i could not figure it out so i just re-skinned (rigged??) my vehicle works perfect now! I guess at some point i recorded then rescaled the steering wheel mesh bugged everything up. If this happens again try the re-in...

Ah now I see. Well it's something you keyframe manually. My guess is that they just use rotate, scaling and opacity. What they used in that video were the 4-Wheeler Extended and Trailer for the movement of the vehicles. So CDS helps with the movement of the vehicles and for the extra movements just ...

Well the way I would make the slide is in the following way. At first i change the default settings to the following input parameters in the configuration: Gas Pedal (Forw/Backw) Maximum: 6 Steering Wheel (Right/Left) Maximum: 0,9 Skid Brake Response Factor: 0,05 Skid Brake Maximum: 0,4 Then I got t...

It gave me some problem when I first animated the car and then parented the target mesh of second car to the first. But when I done the reverse sequence i.e. parenting the target mesh of second car to the first car and then animating the first car. One more thing is that we need to have animation k...

Never heard of it. If you install the latest version 10.1.4 do you get the same effect?

Did you scale the wheel from start or does it just scale itself? I would suggest that you don't scale the wheel at all and just make sure its in the center of the high-poly wheel.

This is amazing... i saw it more & more times... bt in demo, i seen a track is changing its body ... how i will make this in max 2010... craft studio can make it? i use craft director studio v10.1.2... or if other plug-ins , what it is... plz help... thanks I fail to upload stills for the topic ......

For the 4-Wheeler Extended increase the Gas Pedal (Forw/Backw) value in the configuration. That should make it catch up.

here is the error msg application error caused by plugin 'QtGui'! more information can be found under '/user/johnjoseph/library/preferences/maxon/cinema 4D r11.5_5F007029/_bugreports/_bugreprot.txt'! after clicking 'ok' scene file will be saved as '_bugreports/recovery_xxx.c4d thnx Do you have the ...

There is a function called Unplug in Craft Director Studio which can be used to disconnect CDS from the scene and therefor it will be possible to render on render farms or render nodes. Remember to save the scene before you make an unplug to make sure you have the scene in case you need to make chan...

Nice! Did you use CogWheels for the cogs in the music video? Btw nice song.

Are you able to clone the SSC? Are you albe to edit it after a clone?

Hi truerswalia,

In order for the second car to follow the first one with the help of the cross you need to activate the autonomous mode from the configuration of the second car.

Try to use unplug from CDS before exporting the scene. By using this function you remove the connection to CDS and the program handles the meshes as ordinary meshes.

Hi Kelumpj,

We have been off during the winter so that is why we have not been answering directly.

Here you have an explanation to the scaling part:
