Reactor 3d car rig tutorial - part 2 of 2 - HD

[LanRous]

is it resonable for the wheels to bend i mean recline and how to fix it?

[micemincer]

@LanRous no way to fix this - this is the reactor bug

[LanRous]

@micemincer

Thanks for the reply

[Geofract]

Thanks! Very helpful :)

[1Alpha1AlhaBeta]

micemincer - thanks a lot for the tut - it's 1 of the few tut's that i have followed that works straight away - i usually have to mess around and fiddle with the settings - but not this 1. brilliant.

[najar06]

[sgr41]

Many, many thanks, great tutorial!!! So well explained and clear.

[andreslgv]

great tutorial, but i have a question, how can i make that the car turns to the left or right. Too, i dont know how to animate the car wheel velocity because i cant animate it using autokey

thanks :)

[timura175]

Hey my car just jump when it touches the plane

[timura175]

My car just jumps when it touches plane!

[iinadir]

where is the HD :D



[TheAliyev]

i have some problems in preview animation(in reactor message) Object spring 003 can no longer be a rigid body  and object RBcollection can no longer be a rigid body ...please help

[micemincer]

@TheAliyev - You probably have added a spring helper to rigid body collection.

[TheAliyev]

@micemincer - and what I do

[micemincer]

@TheAliyev -

remove it form RBcollection. It can be loose (the spring helper) - not in any group (as I remember)

Or you can redo the tutorial again step by step.

regards.

[Gamezonemachinima]

@micemincer i did wat u did but all that hapends to my car after i rigged it is all the meshses eploded and the only thing left is the hull why?

[TheAliyev]

and what do I do?

[TheAliyev]

@micemincer and what do I do?

[TheAliyev]

@micemincer and what do I do?

[SLU2MOVIES]

can u tell me why my car flys ever

[terrablader]

great tutorial, i think i have some issue with max my wheels rotate in all axis. any ideas? also dumb question but does toy car do same thing as this if no, then why?

[metroid557]

HI, I was just wondering if you can create models in 3d's max or do you have to have another program like auto cad or maya.

[RfactorVideo]

@metroid557 yes, it's easy, just take time to practice.

[MaRiuSeLz]

i made another car, with more polies. i did the same.. as in your tutorial.. but this car shakes :|

i checked the pivots, piramids settings, mass, strings.... all shit... dont know why is shaking :|

[SunshaftStudios]

I have same problem

[MaRiuSeLz]

first, i follow the tutorial, i made the "car" (box) :). it's working fine.

but now i made a little complex "box" .. and doesn't work :(

[LennartvanMourik]

Hi, I've followed your tutorial about car rigging, and i maneged to get it al to work. I would just like to know how I could do the steering of the car .. I saw your other videos that you can make it. Can you please tell me how to do this?

Thanks.

[globalarte]

Asombroso  genial !!!!!

[Crackman34]

plss tell me the rigg part i wanna learnn :S:S:S:S:S:S::S: this is a tear :'(

[Crackman34]

[konrad12xpl]

amazing ! thanks so much ! :D i made my first rig car ;D or whatever its called :)

[Crackman34]

u could make ur car rig?? i mean u made ur car turn wheels?

[konrad12xpl]

i can make everythink what is showed in this tutorial :D

[MaRiuSeLz]

nice, i get it :) it works really cool

now try to make a tutorial for accelerating / braking / steering :D

[DerickZ123]

Please make a tutorial on the interactive part of your other videos! Honestly, that's the only part I'm really looking to do, I know the rest. Thanks for it, anyway! I learned a few things I didn't know before.

[Katman1245]

I tried applying this tutorial to a real car model. Everything is made of groups, and now Im upset because when I got to applying reactor mass, it wouldn't let me do it for groups. How do I do this?

[micemincer]

I'll cover that in my next tut.

Regards.

[fluf0]

eta? :)

oh and thanks for these tutorials, they're very much appreciated!

[nixellion]

What about turning wheels?

[chuculate]

Your animations are spectacular. Earlier today I discovered the reactor tool and I'm very interested in learning to use it as I used also for my work. What I would like to learn is how to change the direction of the front wheels and the progressive speed of the vehicle, do you have any tutorial that explains it?

Thank you very much for the tutorials, a greeting

[iinadir]

ur the best !!!

[josefonas]

exelente tutorial tenia tiempo sin ver uno asi gracias

[DemoN102pl]

i would love to make something like that but its to complicated for me

[shizaquife]

Nevermind, fixed.

[Anders538]

Something wrong with mine.

2nd one I tryed just explodes.. sort of.. then flyes in to the air.. take a look at my video, if you know what the problem might be. thanks

[mohdmistry]

hey there awesome tut. can you plz make a tutorial about creating a complete animation with turns and stops?? :):)

[llindenau]

nice tutorial very good, but my car does weird things in preview, i think i did someting wrong with the pivots.

when i press play the car springs up and falls on his back :S with 2 of the wheels being in a weird position.

[pofplanes]

one of the best tutorial i ve seen, you explain things better than allan mc kay or some other DVD master classes. Thanks! looking foward to new tutorials

[takafinir]

too mutch i can remmeber all this too hard for me i just wanna know how mak car run simple way

[meeiulik]

too bad u didn't show us how to make the car turn ANYWAY BEST TUTORIAL THNX THNX

[carlosandreshenao]

i agree, best tutorial.. probably ever!!! :) thanks a lot

[simacekd]

Great tutorial Mac, ...

... anybody have some ideas how to at least stop the car (change the Velocity to 0 at specific time)

[micemincer]

I'll cover accelerating and stopping in my next tutorial.

[carlosandreshenao]

Bro, when is that next tutorial coming up? =) cant waitttt!!! CHEEERS

[guitareirik]

The best tutorial on youtube! Keep up the good work! xD

[pierrrecesar]

Good tutorial! Could you explain me how to turn the front whells on the Z axis an then make the car turning on the plane ?

[realdealmagic101]

thank you soooooooo much...

when is the next tutorial gonna be out??

[FerryvD]

Thanx for the great explanation, it thought me a lot.

Any idea when you finish the next tuturial?

Anyway, i'm looking forward to it.

[Shadowstalker31]

great video works perfect i made a monster turck with this but idk how to make it go faster

[acmonaut]

thanks so much micemincer for your good work!

it is so hard to find really in-depth explanations of these reactor features. the doc shipping with max was always a big mystery for me in this case.

could you perhaps give a small hint how to animate velocity/gain? i cant get no autokeyframing to work with these params.

i am so looking forward for the next two vids... ;)

regards, acmonaut

[Zyg11zag]

You Steer This Car?

You Controled It?

[cgCody]

Alright this is killing me! While waiting for your next video, I've tried all kinds of tricks to get the steering working, but I can't figure it out.

I'm guessing it has something to do with checking Unyielding in some object's rigid body properties, allowing you to keyframe it somehow, but that's as far as I've gotten.

I don't expect you to write a tutorial, but can you point me in the right direction? At least a small hint? A key word?

Thank you. Keep up the good work. I've learned a lot.

[nefe]

i downloaded a free model car off the internet somewhere but when i try to use it in reactor all the parts (ie doors, roofs mirrors etc) break into pieces.

my question is, how do you rig a car when the chassis os more than just 1 box??

[micemincer]

make proxy for every reactor part, then group your model chassis, and link it to the body proxy, do the same for every wheel.

I'll cover that in my next tut which is coming.

regards

[vorajee12]

thank you for your much help im damn good now in madcar

[pmaterazzi]

jestes super!

[robertrageson]

really helpfull stuff, i think alot of people are looking for tutorials on steering the car if you know of any post a link please.

[moiajaa]

When I set the wheel's width (cylinder height) too small (like 0,3 m with radius 0,4), the whole rigging becomes unstable and just flies off the screen. Any idea what might be causing this?

[moiajaa]

This is what i've been waiting for for some time now. Great work!

Prismatic constraint is the key lesson for me from this tut. I didn't think of that. Can't wait to see how you actually steer. Best regards and a happy New Year.

[dobsession]

BIG THANK AND HAPPY NEW YEAR§§

i wait for next :)

[realdealmagic101]
