    Steering rigging

    hey guys, alright well, does anyone know how to set up constraints or whatever it is in max, so that if i rotate the steering wheel the front wheels will rotate in the z-axis, and also how do I unlock the gizmo, so that it is always perpindicular to the object, say the wheel at a 15 degree incline, but I want it to rotate normally, thanks

    (just trying to figure animation and rigging out)

    To add a contraint go to the motion tab, select the animation track you want to constraint and click "Add Controller" Then you can add several Types of constraints for rotation, transormation, scale or subtracks. That's just one way tho. Another would be wiring parameters. You could wire the y-Rotation of one object to another one's position or rotation or whatever. For unlocking the gizmo i am not sure i understood what you mean. If you mean having the gizmo aligned to the pivot then select "local" instead of "view" in the toolbar dropdown in rotation mode.

    Kind Regards,
    Thorsten
