Realistic simulations for vehicles in motion and the ragdolls bite it in the end.
Craft Animations made this demo video in the space of about four hours.
The car is driven by Craft 4-Wheeler Extended, and filmed with a combination of Craft SphereCam, Craft ObserverCam, Craft SteadyCam and Craft HumanizerCam.
Craft 4-Wheeler Extended is a simulator for 4-wheel vehicles. This animation tool makes it easy for the user to create realistic simulations for vehicles in motion. The vehicle is controlled with an input device directly through 3ds max or Maya.

The user links the model that will be rendered to Craft 4-Wheeler Extended for it to inherit it's movement. Steering, braking, boosting, skidding, etc. is performed in real-time with a DirectX input device, keyboard or 3dxmouse. All Craft 4-Wheeler parameters can be altered in real time and may create some very peculiar car shape changes during recording.
