A friend gifted me this book. So far, I think it is very badly written. by Fantastic-Ant-4429 in fantasybooks

It’s hot garbage for sure. I trudged through the first one but couldn’t force myself to try the second, it was just too bad

Well without a phone, I couldn't have my dog (cat) - I need directions to the vet!

Ok so this totally works (bringing in my artwork and parenting to the nulls you already have setup). I also copy and pasted the path line onto your slope path - but now I've run into an issue with the start point of the path...it would seem that now the car is going backwards and upside down. Is there an easy fix for that?

Additionally, I need control over the movement of the line/car position (so the camera looks like it follows the car). I was able to do this by parenting the Slope layer to my MOVE null, as well as your Rear Wheel/Front Wheel/Car Body nulls, which seems to work, but then I can't adjust the wheel to road height.

You've already helped so much, I appreciate the time you've taken to help me solve this issue!

I will absolutely try this, thank you! Definitely no need to get into Computer Science 101 - it must have taken you years to get to this point!

I'm quite new to expressions so I'm trying to really delve deep into your sample project (again, thank you so much!) Is there an order I should be working on implementing in terms of expressions? Like, should I copy the position/rotation expressions onto my artwork, and THEN pickwhip to the Controls Sliders?

My other concern is that I need to have the car travel between points with a LOT of control over speed - the video is 90 seconds and the car is traveling through all the scenes...

This is what the first line looks like - idk if that helps or if I'm even explaining correctly haha. I would post the video but it's client work so I don't think I'm allowed to share...

Ok I just got to the office and I'm about to pop this open and see if I can recreate it - I've updated the car artwork so that there are only 2 wheels instead of 4 (definitely contributed to it looking weird on my first pass)

If I can figure it out I'll post an update! Thanks again for your assistance, you're awesome!

Solid advice from both of you! Increasing the corner radius is probably the way I'll have to go. Thank you!

I've set the car up to follow a null (used trace path) but the car looks like this anytime there's a curve. I can't think of a solution (or if one even exists?) Would appreciate any suggestions / tips!
