Hi all,

So here we are, the last of the V7 mega-features to get a tutorial; we have 25 minutes on how to use Rodeo here, to be honest I was expecting the videos to be longer then that but Rodeo just works, it simply just works.

Without further adooooo:

Basic Rodeo (5 mins)

Rodeo in production - Car moving over a terrain: Part 1 (10 mins) - Setting up the project and groups

Rodeo in production - Car moving over a terrain: Part 2 (10 mins) - Simulating
There is a point in this video when I get confused as my car weighs in at 4 tonnes, this is because my car body was a solid lump of metal. Stupid me. When you do it, manually enter the mass to be about a tonne (700kg for a smart car).

Enjoy, forgive the bits at which I mess up

EDIT: Links repaired. .Mac managed to delete the second movie no less then 4 times before I finally got it to stick. Crazy.

Thanks Ian. Wonderful stuff.

P.S. So many tutorial videos...Don’t you ever sleep?

Hah !

Someone just sent me an email saying the very same

You’re welcome and there will be at least one more (FBX) before I take a break for a while,
Ian

Rodeo is the reason I upgrade, but I don’t have much time to play with v7…

now I’ve at least 10 days rest, stay at home, watching all your video, and play fire up EI7 :D

Links repaired. Enjoy Loon

superb videos Ian

As always, super helpful!  I look forward to each and every one of your informative vids.
