One thing that helped me better with the drifting, was changing the pivot of the car to the front wheels, so when you rotate it, it will keep the nose position.
I made a car animation in sequencer a year ago and animated curves by hand using the mesh transforms. Using the camerarig rail to move the car along the spline instead is really clever and I wish I knew about this last year... Would've saved me a lot of time hahah.
Perfect video, thank you so much! you are the best, I like so much how you explain and how you talk professionally in all of your videos! because nowadays unfortunately we see a lot of greasy trendy misbehaving people on social media! people like you are really rare, Keep it up, you are awesome ;)
For anyone who came here to check how to make spline animation 100% smooth (as when you attach a car or the camera you will see shakings at some spline points). From my experience, you won't be able to fix this( Only one working thing to fix this - use a blueprint for following the spline (find on the internet a ready blueprint for following the spline, epic released it somewhere) make a spline, attach this blueprint to the car or any object you want to move and then use the recorder to capture all movements. Yes it's quite harder than just rigrail but it will give you a 100% smooth movement.
Thank you so much for the high quality videos, they are always very helpful. Do you have any tire burnout effect methods you can share? I think it would be really cool if the car drifted and smoke billowed out along with the tire marks.
Can you or do you have a video on how you built the track? I'm working on a project in Maya and Modo and wondering how you created this track? Question for you. Lets say you created a track in Maya with road lights and all road assets. How would you import it all into Unreal 5? Do you import certain things at a time of set up the track in Maya and (save as-->?) Thanks
great stuff. You know how to create a camera rail on a ground that is not flat , like hills? If i just move the points by eye of the camera rail curve is not precise...is there a way to use a the spline that I used to create a road on a landscape?
You have awesome content, thanks for what you do) If it's not too much trouble, can you please show me how to make an animation of a car with traffic and people walking from the game itself?
ooof. Traffic is unstable, but with people - check out tutorial using "Crowd Sample" I used this crowd sample from UE marketplace and added people on the scene. But with traffic - it is a bit harder to disable traffic in particular areas where your car is driving
Really really gooood work mate, i love it, but i reaaaally need a fix for the wheel rotation not rendering in 5.2, i can not change version for my project in matrix city sample, waiting for you !
I recently just answered to same question 😁 Answer is: Yes and no:) You cab duplicate rail and attach another car to this rail - and separately control each car progression. Alternatively you can connect multiple cars to one rail, transform position from one car a bit back or forward, but anyway “current position on rail” will control both cars and they will go both same speed
@@postprocessed Thanks a lot!🙇♂️I tried attaching multiple cars to one rig rail before and found that if a car is transformed too much, the motion became weird🤔 I will try duplicating rig rails instead...and thanks again for your fast reply!
Awesome video, Vaas! Just noticed something on your previous city sample video. Do you use default materials on the vehicle while animating to take the load off your system? I've been using custom game modes to toggle between high quality, proxy and render modes but never thought of substituting materials.
Okay Thank you so so so much for this video! very helpful, However I'm making just a video showing that my car is in motion, but I also want to display a speedometer & the gear on my camera which shows the car in motion as if I am Playing a game, can you help please?
Great Thanks.... One question plz... Can we make a loop car animation in UE? like A to B point, once it reaches B point, it will return to A point and loop on B point.?
When i am importing fbx model of my car in UE5 it looks like a plastic toy i didn't get the texture and shining of a car. Can you please help me for this problem
Hey! Unfortunately both car would be moving at the same speed. So it is better to duplicate the spline and animate cars individually. This will allow them to be driven on the same spline but at different speed for example
Hey the controls for the rig arent doing anything after I add it to the spline. It isn't coming up when I filter animatable controls or whatever. The controls work perfectly fine when I open the rig blueprint up though?
Rig only works in open Sequencer and in ANIM mode. So you need to open Sequence and add your control rig into the sequencer, after that controls will appear and will work
@@postprocessed yeah that's what I've done though. One thing I noticed though was the numbers aren't all zeroed out and are showing the Y & Z position in the wheel rotation drop down in sequencer (and for other controls). Maybe I set initial pos instead of the offset? having a look through to see but all of those settings (initial/current/offset) are all greyed out and wont let me change anything, it will only let me change current pos. sorry if its something really simple, this my first time using unreal haha
you can make spline longer or on sequence timeline make distance between key frames shorter, so car will path this distance in shorter period of time thus resulting in faster car movement
Yeah so it works only in 5.3 properly, 5.2 has some issues with it. Or check my latest video with procedural suspension, there I tell how to initialize rig through using Blueprint Actor Class, which should make all workable all the time
I have a few questions, how would I get the car to gradually accelerate from a standstill, also is it possible to get the wheels to automatically spin at the right speed, also how do I get suspension and can that also be automated.
Love your tutorials and I have learned a lot from your channel. When I try to use the Movie Render Queue to render my animation of a car attached to a camera rig rail, the car just stays at the beginning of the rail and won't move even though the camera is animating as it should. Every had that issue? I've linked everything in the Sequencer. Nothing is red. And it looks great in the Viewport. Just in the render, the mesh animated along the rail stays at position 0 on the rail. Even my particle effects trigger when they should. The car just won't move. Help!
@@postprocessed Yes, indeed! I tried basically everything and none of it worked. Then I just started a new Map file and rebuilt the scene and it is rendering great! I guess that level map was corrupt or buggy because I've got it rendering great now! Thanks for the reply and for your tutorials!
Thank you, really great video. How do i add multple skeletal meshes at different points in the spline anyone? I cant find a fix for this other than duplicating the spline multple times XD
You can transform each car also. So they will be at different point of the spline. May not work very good, but it is what it is. If drives straight - it is fine
@@postprocessed really appreciate the fast response, I have tried experimenting with the transforms of the cars and the camera rail rig to no avail. Thanks anyway. as long as duplicating isnt to expensive ill do that :)
This is UE bug. I am trying to make short rails and hide transitions with camera cuts. If it is absolutely necessary for you to make a long move for the car you can just transform rig position, without the spline
With railsplinecomponet selected, Under the "spline" tab, Go to "Advanced", set the "reparam steps per segment = 100" (default is 10). It worked for me, try if that helps!
great tutorial as Always!!!!! Can anyone kindly tell me why when I activate the pathtracing mode in the city sample project all the decals disappear? I tried both with ue5.1 and 5.3
yeah... well city sample is hell of a project... So thing is that decals are assigned to invisible meshes as materials and... well. For some reason it doesn't work. I didn't find solution yet. so I placed them manually. Pain in the ass tbh
Doubt you will see this a year after posting this video, but any chance you know how to get this to work with attaching multiple cars to create traffic as I can't figure out how to keep the orientation with all cars. like the turns only work for the beginning of the rail rig, so cars further down attached to it are going to go straight off the path. Any solution would be very helpful, thanks.
Still thinking about it for two days how to approach it better... Maybe if it is quick background car traffic you can disable "lock orientation to rail" and add transform track and rotate car on Z axis for each car on same rail? I guess that could be faster.
Do you have any idea why the wheels don't rotate when I render in path tracing? (working with LIT) yes I did key frame for the wheel spining (as in your tutorial)

hey man check UE marketplace and there is free automotive material pack. Use it for shading car and making it look as in the video. I skipped this process in the video as it is basic process
@@postprocessed I found one pack you mentioned in a different video. That one was only compatible up to 5.1 I think. I'm on 5.2 now, going to switch to 5.3 later. To fix the issue I just tweaked the materials to get a more desired look. Thanks for the feedback.
Awesome tutorials thank you. Here I have something very specific. There is a road and my client wants me to place a camera to the hood and see the road from that POV. And he asks me to do this with switchboard ndisplay config on an LED. Can you be so kind to guide me on how to achieve this.. Thank you either way..
Hey! Yeah, well it is not something that I can explain in one comment, I don’t have video about it :( , but there are plenty tutorials on yt how to setup ndisplay m.ruclips.net/video/u5bgaze7aLw/видео.html
Thank you for reply. I already have my nDisplay setup the issue I am dealing with is how to make this run in editor rather than hitting play. Because I am not using multi uer setup and that means I do not run any of my render nodes in play mode. Is this something achievable have an idea? @@postprocessed
@@sinanarts you can use “simulate” crtl+s if I remember correctly and place your sequence to level and check “autoplay” in details. If I understood it correctly
Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve, I position the car on the track and do "attach", set the keyframes and everything works if I go to play. But when I save or record the sequence the car ends up in a random position. Where am I wrong?
Check that your car "attach" track is also stretched on the whole duration of sequence track. That might happen, and also check that you car's position is set to 0 0 0. As it should be at zero position on the rail
I followed your tutorial to the Tee but my car disappears when I try to render the sequence out -- please help! 😭 I don't know what I'm doing wrong. All the actors are loaded onto the sequencer (skeletal mesh with ctrl rig attached; camera rig rail; cine camera actor; etc) and it all works fine in the level sequence, but when I render, the car disappears. The camera still follows it's path properly, but my car doesn't appear in the final render. Please, please help. I've scowered the forums with no luck. Awesome tutorials btw. Absolutely amazing. ❤⭐
@@LestZA can you please test it in empty environment with just plane? City Sample is so damn bugged, over complicated and just poor performing. Looking cool though
excellent explanations. 👍 I got some nice shots setup in citySample - however, every time I output, it renders the game mode opening scene. Do you need to turn something off?
@@postprocessed - camera is Spawned... Game mode is none... still not working! I used your Mustang (although colors/shading not photoreal), used small_city_lvl. There is a BP runtime error: Accessed None trying to read property CallFrunc_GetCitySampleGameState_ReturnValue. - but I don't think its related.😔
@@davidwillno delete also Player Start or 3rd person BP in this level. And set player actor near game mode to none too. Seems you have deleted game mode, but not player actor which relies to this game mode
@postprocessed Deleted "Player Start" (no 3rd person BP) and it now renders a from a drainage grate somewhere on the map - so I guess that's progress! :Clicked on every BP in the outliner, but still can't find a solution. Argh - so close to having it work!
Great tutorial! One thing... im not getting my wheels turning in the renders...? I have them turning in editor while ive keyframed the rotation. And they rotate in simulation mode, but dont once i do a render. Any thoughts on what i may have missed??
When I get to the step at 4:30 , and press play it does this weird reverse and slow motion moving (even though I followed all the steps) do you know why?
@@postprocessedI'm sorry to keep coming back with more questions but I made sure there were no knots and there is transform in sequencer. Now the vehicle wont move at all. I have no idea how to fix it
@@dc_ghostpants try to do that with something simple, like basic shape. Cube, Sphere, doesn’t matter. Make sure you add cube to sequencer, add “attach” track and correctly attach it to Rail Rig. Rail should also be added to sequencer.
When doing this in the Matrix City Sample project the car remains in the initial spawn point when I render but works properly in the viewport, has anyone else experienced this problem? It only happens to me in the City Sample pack and I’m not sure why
You should make Car and Rail and basically any object in sequencer a Spawnable object. than it works. To convert it - right click it in sequencer -> Convert to Spawnable
Yeah, model doesn’t contain textures. You need to download free material pack called “automotive materials” it is available for free on unreal engine marketplace and after download add it to your project. You will have all what you need: car paint, rubber, plastic, chrome
I have a strange problem. When I add a key frame to the end my car spawns in the middle of the map. At the first key frame the Car is at the beginning of the camera rail rig.
can you please give more context? OR maybe you accidentally pressed "L" button? it makes sequence play x2 speed. UE uses same hotkeys as video editing software J K L - are for playback. K for stop. J - backwards. L - forward. Double pressing L makes it x2 and one more time makes playback x4
I take my car models from cgtrader or sketchfab. There are some nice free car models. And rig them according to my tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/vGPOuI0C0ZI/видео.html

But when I save or record the sequence the car ends up in a random position.
Where am I wrong?
Check that your car "attach" track is also stretched on the whole duration of sequence track. That might happen, and also check that you car's position is set to 0 0 0. As it should be at zero position on the rail
@@postprocessed Yes thank you, I then solved that I have to give the Keyframe to "Transform" otherwise it wouldn't take the fixed position.
glad to hear it is fixed now! @@godofvideoss
I followed your tutorial to the Tee but my car disappears when I try to render the sequence out -- please help! 😭 I don't know what I'm doing wrong. All the actors are loaded onto the sequencer (skeletal mesh with ctrl rig attached; camera rig rail; cine camera actor; etc) and it all works fine in the level sequence, but when I render, the car disappears. The camera still follows it's path properly, but my car doesn't appear in the final render. Please, please help. I've scowered the forums with no luck.
Awesome tutorials btw. Absolutely amazing. ❤⭐
Hey! Which environment you use for render?
@@postprocessed Hey! I used the City Sample > small city.
@@LestZA can you please test it in empty environment with just plane? City Sample is so damn bugged, over complicated and just poor performing. Looking cool though
@@LestZA let me know if that works on empty environment pls
@@postprocessed I tried it on an empty level and it worked fine. I guess it's the Matrix demo level that's the problem.
cannot we make the wheels rotate procedurally with the "current position on rail"
Its UE 5.2 only glitch. Working now on solution
excellent explanations. 👍 I got some nice shots setup in citySample - however, every time I output, it renders the game mode opening scene. Do you need to turn something off?
Change camera in your sequence to “spawnable”
Set game mode to none world settings. Should help
@@postprocessed - camera is Spawned... Game mode is none... still not working! I used your Mustang (although colors/shading not photoreal), used small_city_lvl. There is a BP runtime error: Accessed None trying to read property CallFrunc_GetCitySampleGameState_ReturnValue. - but I don't think its related.😔
@@davidwillno delete also Player Start or 3rd person BP in this level. And set player actor near game mode to none too. Seems you have deleted game mode, but not player actor which relies to this game mode
@postprocessed Deleted "Player Start" (no 3rd person BP) and it now renders a from a drainage grate somewhere on the map - so I guess that's progress! :Clicked on every BP in the outliner, but still can't find a solution. Argh - so close to having it work!
@@davidwillno aha! I had this issue! Now I know what to do! Now in your sequencer right click your camera and select “CONVERT TO SPAWNABLE”. Voila!
8:16 thanks man nice work. Can you add physic or make it drive on a even terrain?
I am working on procedural suspension so wheels will respond to bumps!
Oh ok cool thanks for response.
Great tutorial! One thing... im not getting my wheels turning in the renders...? I have them turning in editor while ive keyframed the rotation. And they rotate in simulation mode, but dont once i do a render. Any thoughts on what i may have missed??
Do you use UE 5.2?
@@postprocessed yes
the steering keyframing works in renders, but for some reason my wheels just dont rotate in the renders
@@NeoNoir_ that's UE 5.2 bug. use 5.1 for now, I am figuring it out how to fix it. When done I will share the fix
@@postprocessed i see. yes please do share if you find a fix for it. im using it for a project right now.
When I get to the step at 4:30 , and press play it does this weird reverse and slow motion moving (even though I followed all the steps) do you know why?
maybe there is another spline point? sometimes it creates it for no obvious reason and making a "knot", maybe that could be the case?
also check if you car has "transform" track in sequencer. Could be also an issue
@@postprocessedI'm sorry to keep coming back with more questions but I made sure there were no knots and there is transform in sequencer. Now the vehicle wont move at all. I have no idea how to fix it
@@dc_ghostpants try to do that with something simple, like basic shape. Cube, Sphere, doesn’t matter. Make sure you add cube to sequencer, add “attach” track and correctly attach it to Rail Rig.
Rail should also be added to sequencer.
@@postprocessedThat worked! Thank you!
When doing this in the Matrix City Sample project the car remains in the initial spawn point when I render but works properly in the viewport, has anyone else experienced this problem? It only happens to me in the City Sample pack and I’m not sure why
You should make Car and Rail and basically any object in sequencer a Spawnable object. than it works. To convert it - right click it in sequencer -> Convert to Spawnable
@@postprocessed That was it mate, thank you :)
Where did you got the car
you can download it! I share this free rigged model
I add your car, my textures of this car are completely different or they don't work at all. And how to make them like you in this lesson?
Yeah, model doesn’t contain textures. You need to download free material pack called “automotive materials” it is available for free on unreal engine marketplace and after download add it to your project. You will have all what you need: car paint, rubber, plastic, chrome
@@postprocessed you are the best, looking forward to more lessons
@@bedanosec6978 no prob, mate! And will post more tuts soon!
my car is following the rig sideways how do i fix that pleaseee
did you check "lock orientation to rail" for Rail Rig? Or did you add transform track for the car and face it the direction you want?
I have a strange problem. When I add a key frame to the end my car spawns in the middle of the map. At the first key frame the Car is at the beginning of the camera rail rig.
My bad. I did not add the key frame at 1.00. It is working now.
@@Marvin7408 perfect
Hii, my car doesn't turn like yours did at the edge of road...it stays in same direction
Did you enable “orientation to rail”?
So it will turn the object driven on spline?
The playback speed in the sequencer is to fast. How can I tweak the playback speed?
can you please give more context? OR maybe you accidentally pressed "L" button? it makes sequence play x2 speed. UE uses same hotkeys as video editing software J K L - are for playback. K for stop. J - backwards. L - forward. Double pressing L makes it x2 and one more time makes playback x4
me: still waitng for mclaren studio tutorial

Scenario is done, it will be posted also this week) just reacting for people MOST ASKED STUFF hahaha 😁
@@postprocessed sup, i answered about my remake in comments of previous video

How to rig the car ?
Hahahha dude come on. I have the video in this playlist if car rigging
ruclips.net/video/vGPOuI0C0ZI/видео.html
subtitles are not active 😭😭
don't select so fast it's impossible to follow what you click and select
Got it, noted. But you also can pause
@@postprocessed i know but even so it's too fast, when you pause you are already on something else
@@deovit yup, noted
How to control speed
You can add points in the timeline for "current position on rail" and change keyframe position for desired speed
Help please 😢 how can I download any free car to unreal engine 5 😢
I take my car models from cgtrader or sketchfab. There are some nice free car models. And rig them according to my tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/vGPOuI0C0ZI/видео.html

How do you go about getting sound clips to use for videos? My biggest hurdle now.
hey, you mean music or SFX?
