Car animations testing

Hi all! It's been a longer while since i started a new thread here but I had some free time and i lunched 3ds just to check if i still remember what's it about. Right now i'm finishing my school final project which is Utility Helicopter's Fuselage Project ...I'm not gonna share the boring calculations but i will definetly show the model when it's done. Anyways i wasn't writeing much but i was checking some forums from time to time and i found this great plugin for max on Evermotion written by Karba. Search through the Evermotion.org for more details about the plugin. I tested the plugin with two of my old models sofar and it's not to bad for about hour of fighting with the settings and 3 of renderinganyways here's what i've got sofar:

YouTube - 3000GT 3ds animation
YouTube - Chevy nova test animation

C&C most welcome

The Chevy Nova one kicks ass...

...the 3000GT one is a bit hard to see because of the erratic camera. But again, the Nova is fantastic!!

looks very nice, 3000gt is a bit weird because of the camera, the nova is good, reminds me of those obstacle course things you get where you run in and out of tyres

IMO, i think the Nova needs to be lowered But thats awesome simulation. The 3000GT needs to have a smoother Camera. One that sticks with the car, and the car movement needs to be a bit smoother.

Thx for the replies guys. As for the camera in 3000GT animation i wanted to see how it looks...i think it would be better with materials and not just clay. As for the Nova animation it sure is a bit too high. i will lower it before naxt animation. Anyways heres what just finished rendering. Hope U like it :

I really like this amination. Drifting 3000GT is like a dream. Always wanted to make something moving not standing.
Can you tell us more about this plugin?

Well...basicly the plugin offers the real time driveing in the view ports. Vehicle studio however offers better physics...tho it's a lot more complicated than MadCar by Karba and most important thing is that Karba's plugin is totally free. As for animation i was thinking of doing a bigger one...with materials and some great cars...but since i don't have so much time now i'm looking for a co-worker on it... anyways any of You people would wanna give it a shot with me just PM. Next test animation soon...as soon as i get some free time
