How to Dynamically Drive a Car With a Gamepad in Houdini

Houdini Zone shows how to use a Gamepad to drive around a car in real time over terrain.

Check out this new tutorial by Houdini Zone that covers creating a setup in Side FX Houdini that will allow you to drive a car around in real time using a Gamepad controller.

Most DCCs will have MIDI or Gamepad abilities, and here, Houdini Zone shows how to set up all the channels and map them to the Gamepad controller.
