Softwheel

[Kilinich]

I've try to make stable spring-based soft-wheel
Usual, hinge-based softwheels jitter a lot and makes vehicle shakes.
This one is steady and looks pretty realistic.

I like it
I like the abstract tank you used

But, when you add more speed, smth like 150, with the same strength, it sucks, because the circles go crazy then

But it's nice

Dramatically improved soft-wheel of that design.
Much more reliable! I've test it on 400RPM.
Easily can be tweaked via density and spring strength.
Simple to make textured one. Bonus - shadowing example.

Strange bug I've notice: In Phun wheels works perfectly, in Algodoo they shakes a lot, especially on "bridge". Please try open it in Algodoo and in Phun - do you have same behavior ?

[KarateBrot]

At 500 - 600 Hz it stops shaking. Emil changed some values (2 or 3) in Algodoo which change the behaviour of collisions. I bet that's the reason for the shaking wheels

Similar to my PGWheels.

Nice work, they look great, especially the motion blur!

Nothing similar, really. My idea was not to use hinges at all.
Thanks, but It's not a motion blur - it's just a shadow

the shadows dont really work on sorf wheels as the shadows dont move, but the wheels do. For example. when the wheels are half squashed down, the shawdows go infront of the plane.

True. So you can bring planes and scenery on the front or change shadow so it's not affect edge of tyre.

EPIC VIDEO OF IT:

Nice, it even runs over a tree at 1:13!

What a great concept. NIcely done and tweaked.
