I have to simulate with Toy Car an industrial vehicle (a forklift).
The problem is that Reactor places de center of mass of the vehicle in the GEOMETRIC center.
So, I'd like to relocate the center of mass where I want to, because it's very important in the simulations I have to do.
Does anybody know how to relocate it? With MAXScript? I'm getting mad about it...
I could use the Dynamics of MAX, they allow you to place the center of mass wherever you want, but...I have to use Toy Car to simulate the vehicle. Each one has a good thing, and each has a weak point (Dynamics/Reactor).
By the way, I want to simulate the forklift braking. It has to go straight and brake till it stops.
How can I do this with Toy Car? How can keyframes and simulation be combined?
The problem is that the angular velocity parameter of the wheels...cannot be animated!!
I think Toy Car sucks! (imho)
Well, I hope anybody can help me. I'm desperated.
Thanks in advance!! :thumbsup:
