How can I get a full detailed document about the construction of wheeled vehicle.Including how to set some important node in the model, add animations like springs, breaks, and steering wheels.
I have searched a lot.But I could not find one.And many articles is not complete in TDN.
What can I do?

My 3dmax vehicle script might help you .
It will setup the scene for you. Basiclly this script makes it "click click click" All the hierarchy and nodes needed are just a click away. Also will setup all the "Level of Detail" for you. It will create a .cs file for you also, useing the main model selection of the script. It uses all the buggy effects and sounds, etc.. just replaces the model name paths and the main "datablock WheeledVehicleData(Your model here)"
Athough in your orig post you asked about animations. This script will not help you there nor does it make Collision nodes or the col mesh it self but ... It will help out some of your workflow in max.
Theres also a weapon setup script in the same download.
Dave : You might also find some use for this. Its takes out alot of the voodoo ;)
good luck Guys
