animate wheel rotation on vehicles

[kfarr]

Start with 1 vehicle object (sedan) add animation to all 4 tires turning forwards at a speed of:

• There should be one full wheel rotation every 2.60869 seconds. (This rate is that of a car that is navigating at 1 m/s. Vehicle Animation 1.0 3dstreet#182 (comment))

Hi @kfarr @srothst1
The Above the link is the animation file of Sedan.
I made one rotation for every 2.26seconds.
I would suggest we calculate the animation for wheel using code.
By manually animating the wheel rotation, we are limiting our cars to move 1meter/ Second.
We could have variable speeds if we could animate the wheels using Code.

I have used the Rig to Animate the wheels.

I am experimenting with A-Frame Component.

Here is the link to the source

r = number of rotations;
d = distance travelled by Vehicle;
c = circumference of the wheel;

r = d / c ;

I followed this for wheel rotation

This is great! I'm marking this ticket as done, I made 2 others to represent the next steps:

• formalize the wheel component: add wheel component to rotate wheels of compatible assets 3dstreet#190
• convert the rest of the assets: add wheel rotation skeleton / bone configuration to all vehicles #35
