   Hey Allert, I'm leaving to spend the a day or two at my gf's parents house. I tried playing around with your scene for a while and I know what issue you are referring to. I'm just not sure how to solve it... yet. The issue is that even if you rotate the car object it's still parented under Maya's world coordinates. This…

   Hi Kodde, thanks for trying to help me out. The .ma file and video are located @ http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/627095/3D/Car.avi (XVID) and http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/627095/3D/Car.ma Basically, i want the car to be able to steer and turn properly, not just skid around, like in the video. About half way in the avi, you see me…
