Has anyone done animations using vehicles? I have many vehicles, especially hanksters SS7, and I would like to do animations in poser(6) using it. Although I really enjoy physics, but for hours working on this in poser(6), I am starting to get a headache and no where. Then looking for graph charts on the net, not really helping, because I am unable to find one speed chart. I do not have MS exel (So, I can make a chart) or other on my comp. In for one when I get the money.

Now, the Saleen S7 can go 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds. Using 100 frames in poser, setting poser units to meters, because their is no mile units.

So, 60mph will be converted to 96.54m in 3 seconds.

Starting the vehicle at rest. Adding 100 frame in poser. Like to vehicle to start at 20 frames, then acceleration. Movie file:20 frames per second.

(Frames 0-20)
0 seconds car is at rest

(Frames 21-40)
1 second, car starts to accelerate (this is where I start to get confused per frame)?

(Frames -75 or 80)
3 seconds, car has reached speeds at 96.meters per hour in 3 seconds (or should we say 2.8 seconds which is at frame 75). Then the constant is easy (Frames 80-100).

I wish I had a speed chart. Looking through the web for one. But does anyone have a better way of doing all this?

Then tire rotations will come into play later..gosh.

Anyone have a WordPad speed chart? Or jpg? Prob not..I might have to draw one up. Thought I ask...
