Wheel and Body Alignment: Tools for aligning wheel meshes and car bodies to ensure accurate animation.
Real-Time Path and Ground Interaction: Animate vehicles along a path curve with collision detection against ground meshes.
Speed and Motion Control: Adjust speed, bank factor, drift effects, and inertial motion for dynamic vehicle behavior.
Advanced Animation Controls: Fine-tune drift, torque, and jump effects for enhanced realism.
Dampers: Activate and control damper motion, including vertical axis locking and spring influence adjustments.
Keyframe Baking: Bake vehicle motion, including body and wheel movements, to keyframes for final animation output.
