I found this beautiful VW Kombi Bus (Samba) on 3D Warehouse and made subprops from the wheels, doors, backdoor and steering wheel



Now i have rotation of the wheels as motion, so how do i get those 4 motions into 1 "perform command" for the bus??



AND

is there an easy way to set the pivot of the "steering wheel"??
It's hard to find the correct position, so it turns correctly when "steered"...




Would be cool if someone can help me

The best way to solve this is just to use the physics toolbox. It's a piece a cake.

Can you teach me how the physics toolbox makes this a piece of cake?

Attach the 4 wheels to the 4-wheel physics prop and use the built in controller to steer the Bus. Just set the Project to Bullet Physics to record and bake the motions and then switch back.

@Toystorylab.

To set the Pivot point for the steering wheel, select the item in the Scene Manager and then in the Modify tab scroll down to "Adjust Pivot" and set it as required.

...delete duplicate post.

Yes, click a few buttons and it works.
But..

My question is NOT what to click to make it work, but how does the physics toolbox make this a piece of cake.
What does physics toolbox "DO?"
Explain the rigging, please.

Thanx for reply!
Will check that tomorrow
