      Btw I’d love a -video or text- tutorial that would help me build such a rig from scratch. Anyone knows if such a tut exists?

   Love it! It looks like the Delorian from Back to the Future!

      It looks more like a Reventon than a Delorian. I should check this out though as I model a lot of cars

   Hello! Thankyou, but is it possible to make movement path and animate it like that? Would be great and would make much better control for animations..

      I started a similar project in Blender in 2006, but couldn’t find the time to finish. But before that (2005) I did something similar with POVRay and my physics simulator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkkcs1ZhDo

       That is due to aliasing effect. If it had motion blur that would not be perceptible.

    I’ve seen a few tutorials explaining similar things, and one thing NOBODY making them has realized

    The number you put into the box that governs the speed of the wheel turning is the CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE WHEEL. Just think about it. If a wheel is 20 inches around, the car would have to move 20 inches to make one revolution. I do it when I make car rigs and it always looks GREAT.

    Nice result. The sound is terrible though. This “vacuum cleaner noise” is troublesome, and as my english is not very good, I haven’t undertood much.

    I have to admit I was giggling at your aircraft turbine of a cooling solution a bit there. But I like what I see. Real nice work. :)
