Welcome to Autodesk’s 3ds Max Forums. Where it is almost automatic and can adapt to different terrains similar MadCar 3. Multiscatter is a plugin that will allow you to distribute hundreds or even thousands of.

MadCar 3 is plug-in for 3ds Max for quick rigging of wheeled vehicles and their animations by simulating the control. This new version allows rigging vehicles with any number of wheels and with any of their mutual arrangements. Any number of trailers is also supported.

There are simplified behavioural settings for each of the wheels and related components, which can be fine tuned if required. This allows to simulate motion of any type of vehicle - from a race car to a heavy truck. Animation is created during simulation in real time. Simulation can be controlled by keyboard, joystick, game controller or steering wheel. It is also possible to set up ‘Follow path’ and ‘Follow the Object’ mode.

The package also includes a procedural map that generates tire marks on the surface over which vehicle is moving (V-Ray only).

3ds Max versions: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

3ds Max Design : all

Tire marks require V-Ray

OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10 all 32 and 64 bit

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (included in installer)

User must have local administrator rights with Windows XP to use MadCar. on Windows 7 administrator right needed only during installation

Users are provided with the same installation file for both Workstation and Render node

MadCar.exe

Workstation can be used only when license is properly installed, and provides access to all MadCar options.

If MadCar does not find license file it switches itself to Rendernode mode and only can open and render files created with MadCar Workstation

Rendering is available both locally and over network.

To install the program you need to run the MadCar.exe.

for versions 3.026 and higher please see https://docs.rendering.ru/en:cerber-protection

For network rendering just install the same file MadCar.exe. Installation procedure is the same as for the Workstation, but skipping Registration process. Rendernodes do not require registration.

Submission for network or distributed rendering should be done from the PC with the activated version of MadCar. The rest of render nodes involved in the network or distributed rendering do not need to be activated.

Each MadCar license comes with unlimited render nodes.

manual installation on render nodes:

install 1 machine with the *.exe file then copy pluginsMadCar.dlo to other rendernodes.

Once installed MadCar can be created from command panel:

Create > Helpers > MadCar

Plug-in includes the following object types:

Suspension is for damper.
MadCar is managing skin.
Start Position sets the initial position of the car.
Trailer Hitch and Trailer Tongue object for connecting vehicles.

Do not scale and mirror these objects. Only rotation and movement is acceptable.

All objects are linkable with geometry

Chassis can be linked with geometry of a car frame.

Suspension can be linked with geometry of brake blocks and suspension mount parts.

Wheel can be linked with wheel geometry.

Chassis sets the overall dimensions of the car, its mass and solidity at sudden wheels collision with surface.

Length equals to half length of a car.
Mass is the car mass in kilograms. Solidity is the car’s structural stiffness.

Mass value determines car’s reactivity/inertness. The heavier it is, the stronger the suspension sags, and slower the car accelerates and stops.

Solidity sets deformation resistance. At sudden collision of wheels with surface wheel axes can bend and diverge from the initial position. Divergence is less at high solidity.

Winning eleven 2008 pc download. Position of the rotation axis affects the behaviour of steering wheels. Below are examples for the values of -75%, 0%, 75%.

Suspension section controls car suspension settings such as length of crossover suspension links, spring rigidity, oil damping, buffer gas tension, suspension block limits, Engine drive, steering and other settings.

Length is the length of crossover suspension link.

Top Stop and Bottom Stop are the top and bottom suspension block stops

Wheel Drive Cricket game 2016 for pc. is engine drive.

Steering Gear is steering linkage. Wheels will turn when the steering wheel turn.

Handbrake sets the wheel locking with the handbrake.

Plug-in presents a model of gas-oil damper.

Damper shift is the shift of the damper’s top holder

Presets help making quick setup without deep knowledge on damper functioning – you have an opportunity of selecting the preset of damper parameters.

Rigidity Factor lets you correct the resulting damper resistance value without fixing multiple parameters one by one. In most cases using these settings is enough for regulation.

Additional Damper Settings are for detailed setup of damper parameters. These settings are intended for advanced users with ability of fine-tuning of damper parameters.

Running-in test mode the system generates road irregularities in real-time mode and displays damper response to them.

Spring Rigidity is spring stiffness.
Buffer Rigidity is buffer stiffness.
Running-in Stand Setting are the parameters of test stand.
Mass per Damper: it is the mass which falls on the damper. For example, if the car with 4 wheels has the mass of 1000kgs, then 250kgs will fall on each damper.
Gravity: it is the acceleration of free fall/ gravity factor. It is presented in centimetres – 980cm/s2, meters - 9.8m/s2 or inches - 386“/s2.
Road Knoll Rate is the frequency of knolls spread upon the road.
Road Hole Rate is the frequency of holes spread upon the road.

Wheel section sets the dimensions and properties of wheels.

Width is the wheel’s width.
Ruggedness is the wheel’s stiffness. The less the ruggedness, the deeper the wheel’s elastic deformation upon surface.
Grip is the constant of surface friction. The greater the constant of friction, the less the car skidding, but with that the chances of roll-over at tight turns are higher. At the installation of wheel make sure the arrow of wheel points to outside direction, not inside the car.

Tread Pattern – tire mark. Used to generate textures of tire marks. An example of the orientation of the tread.

When setting a wheel the wheel arrow must point outside and not inside the car.

This object represents the skin combining all car components into one integral unit.

Car Setup is the car’s assembly into one unit.

Dummy Size sets the skin’s size.

All components occurred inside the skin will be automatically applied.

For the assembly of the car there should be one chassis object inside the skin together with the equal number of wheel and suspension objects.

Each pair of suspension and wheel should have equal position as it shown below:

Position all the car components according to the needed configuration. As below, for instance:

Then press Update (Lock Component)

In case of successful assembly the components should be locked (it will be impossible to move them) and blue coloured as shown below. After that any changes to the components will not affect the whole unit. To update the parameters you need to press Upd
