Qute easy.

Make a spline, go into trejectories ( wheel on right panel ), Click on Position XYZ, click on button that looks like ?, choose Path constraint, choose path, adn don't forget to click follow. There u go. Instant rolling car.

urgh! i wasnt implying that i listen to country, but i had an indecent exposure to it as a small child. Im more of a white zombie guy myself. anyways, when im trying to animate my car using the converting trajectories of the front wheels to splines, then assigning a roll along path modifier, the wheels dont stay linked to the car, and theyget ahead or behind it. I cannot see what im doing different than in the tut, any ideas?
thanks
