hi,
CRC is a free script for generating car rigs in few clicks.

- few clicks rig creation
- support uneven surface
- supports body, wheels, steering wheel and breaks animation
- i tried to make it as simple as possible

installation: MAXScript->Run Script->install_CRC.mzp then in toolbars search for Frodo's Magic Bag->Car Rig Creator

animation created with this sript: http://vimeo.com/19391479

version 0.3.1:

- added labels to buttons so now you know what buttons do and what you must pick
- as track you cant select geometry object
- removed pivots pre-requirement now are sets automaticly

version 0.4:

- added steering wheel rig
- modifyin track shape after creating rig will not cause any axes helpers scaling

version 0.4.1

- added breaks rig
- fixed deflection of wheels from axes when are conformed to very steep surface
- animation control helpers is more evident (red one named "front axis helper")
- breaks(front or back pair) and steering wheel are not required
- whole script progress can be watched in listener window

in next release (v0.5) will be following features:

- thanks to Shawn Lewis's Follow Surface no max standard conform space warp is needed, so you will be able to set terrain directly in script ui(and thanks this creating of car rig will be mutch easier)
- car speed setup and measurement
- better layer management
- fixed OMG bug on folowing steep terrain

version 0.6

- after two days effort i decided to rewrite the code
- some promised features from v0.5 hasnt beed added :(
- car speed setup and measurement (testing)
- better layer management
- added simple camera with rig(standart)

version 0.6.1

- fixed "Not creatable: Normalize_Spl" error

Older Version of Max

Yeah, sometimes its difficult with my older version of max. But I can still do a lot of stuff with it. So its cool.

Version Requirements

I am able to install the script just fine.
I am able to drag the script into a toolbar just fine.

However, when I launch the script I get the following error pop up:

The popup window is titled:
MAXScript MacroScript Error Exception.

Then in the window itself the actual Error messages reads as follows:
--Syntax error: at bad, expected factor
--In line:
Also, there is a small square character that appears at the end of the comment
--In Line:

and finally there is an ok button at the end of the window.

When I click the OK button the box disappears and nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
