Also it's really easy to lose sight of the truck in the big world.

First test of vehicle physics in the engine. Camera isn't yet attached to the vehicle so I had to chase it, without much success I admit [smile]

Quote:Original post by MoeIs it possible to roll the vehicle?Yes the truck rolls over at the end because of a sudden turn - I could not control both the camera and the vehicle so I only dabbed the car controls here and there.
But the chassis does not collide properly with the terrain yet, just the wheels at the moment.

It always floors me when I look at your stuff. I love how the truck seems to accurately simulate solid axles. Does it do the differential(s) as well?

Quote:Original post by RavuyaNo, actually it's treated as independent suspension. I may be simulating a solid axle sometime, although I'm no expert on how it would/should behave then [embarrass]

But I'll be doing soon Tatra T813 truck with its independent swing half axles, its suspension behavior is quite characteristic.

Very nice movie, it actually makes the terrain "more real" to see something interacting with it.
I was wondering, as the truck gets further away from the camera, does the terrain mesh it collides with get coarser, or do you procedurally generate high-detail terrain beneath it on the fly?

That means if the vehicle gets too far (>2km?) to the region using a coarser detail, it will sink to the ground.
Of course, it would be no problem to generate the mesh on demand for all vehicles, but at that distance they are becoming hardly visible anyway.
