I don't remember trying this before, even though I've had Bryce for a good while. Anyhow I found that if I try to animate a steering motion (object y-axis rotation) along with a rolling motion (object x-axis rotation) I get some real bad skewing action going on. My guess is that I'll have to use some null objects to parent the wheels to in order to fix that. As of now all the wheels are parented to the "vehicle" body. If this works out alright, I might try it with something a bit more serious. D'oh! I also forgot to make the rear wheels spin. I'll save that for the next attempt, rendering takes long enough as it is. Now if only Bryce had physics simulation in addition to keyframing...
