Recently a new version of Drive! was released. Drive! 1.7 with a new follow command. Follow will have the rigged car follow an animation object in the scene.
In combination with the new execution conditions “In Forward Gear” and “In Reverse Gear” precise maneuvers can be realized much easier.
Another new command can be used to work with custom data sequences in XPresso to animate any parameters indepent of the time line.
