@ethereal41 yes unfortunately deleting their physics asset and creating a new one sometimes fixes the problem. I'm glad you figured it out.

Wow can't thank you enough, had the same issue

I'm actively working on a tutorial for this👍

@@SIMSBURY505 Just finished all of the audio recording. Just need to stitch it together and should be ready to post at some point either tonight or tomorrow morning. Did you happen to see the teaser video I posted?

@@indieartsmidwest4042Yes! Looking forward to the next tutorials!

This is exactly why I love the Unreal and Blender community. We always find a way to help each other out. Thanks for your input!

@@dazta6738 Personally I've never tried this, are you saying that it doesn't work by modifying the .ini file? Also have you ever tried the seated mod on Nexus? I liked open composite but it started to fail maybe due to recent versions. I'm not really sure but I had to work around not using it by instead downloading the Oculus killer from github. All I needed from OC was to cut ties with the Oculus software so that I didn't have that plus steamvr plus the game all running at the same time. It makes absolutely no sense.

@@EternalRecurrence88 Until now I never made that connection. Thank you for starting off my morning with a highlight🤣

@@alllivesmatter2391 The graphics are the same so at least in that area there will be stability. My only gripes are that I don't really care for the BAMF system and its not multiplayer.

If it's a functional vehicle with 4+ wheels, parented to a vehicle based armature with scaling applied, and exported as an fbx. Unreal has all of the proper blueprints to get it moving. The old way was parenting vehicles to armatures using vertex groups. Personally I think the new way is better though many don't agree. It's literally the most basic vehicle setup conversion from blender or really any program to unreal.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 So is that why my vehicle is entirely broken? i haven't been able to get it working for weeks, it's always some dire issue like "the wheels don't collide with anything" or the thing just not driving at all. I made a skeletal mesh with rigging and bones/vertex groups and everything so I could animate it with the player, but was I not supposed to use that method?

@O_Obsidious Yes you could use bones but the new method in terms of the chaos vehicles is easier. This is because when you export all of those vehicle parts as one fbx. Unreal makes the bones upon import. It usually names them whatever the name of the part was prior to import. One issue that tends to affect things is the origin of your 3D objects. So obviously Wheels have to spin properly otherwise they'll look weird. But the body portion gets a little weird as well I've noticed. Some people have the origin just below the body or at 000 XYZ. Also, the physics blueprint is a big deal and has to be done right in relation to the chaos vehicle blueprint.

Hey, so I've tried to import a different skeletal mesh and make my own custom vehicle building off of the example in unreal 5. Visually the model imports the same size as other vehicles but when I make physics objects on the wheels, the wheels are a fraction of size of everyone else's physics objects on the wheels. Mine are like and everyone else is like 32 on average. So is there something wrong with the way I'm importing this mesh or can I fiddle this to make it work? Thanks so much

@@djdarkwxlf5657 it's been years since I've used Unity. But why not just export it from blender for use in vrchat?

I both agree and disagree on this subject. Epic games has definitely prioritized 4+ wheeled vehicles in their game engine. Which has driven users to conjure up work arounds when it comes to 2 wheeled. There are many different tutorials floating around but mainly cater to arcade style steering. I made plans a while back to further improve my setup. Adulting gets in the way and my previous computer crash didn't help in terms of motivation. I have a few ideas on the lean mechanic that would help but I have yet to update to unreal 5.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 You are right it works probably well for cars and there are indeed a lot of tutorials on the subject, but that is not the case for motorbikes. You included, there are only 2 persons who made relevant tutorials. I've watched everything, that helped me to start but after I've spent countless hours tweaking the settings with no progress at all, and I still don't understand the arcade controls 😅. In case one day you decide to give it another try, I subscribe ;)

I'm having a little trouble understanding what "half the twists" means. But what I can say is the squash and stretch keyframes are subjective to your needs. So its not a requirement to squash that far down if not needed. Hope that helped.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 6 turns, 24 steps, radius 1, hight 2. It just doesn´t work. When I start to move the bones down, it deforms the spring in an unnatural way, no matter what values I move them by.

@@Eline_official Thank your for providing your settings. We'll start at the part after the armature is added. Just like in the video. Then the bone goes down one blender unit. Edit mode and extrude to one blender unit above the spring. Then subdivided x11. After that, I proceeded with the process with no issues🤷🏾‍♂

@@indieartsmidwest4042 Thx. I´ll try it.

The reason why you're getting so much lag has a lot to do with the fact that the Oculus software is running in the background, steamvr is running, and the game itself. Using open composite does help circumvent the issue. However I recall trying to get open composite running and it failed. I'm not sure if that software is still getting support. But what it does is allows you to run Fallout 4 VR natively as it should be.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 im using opencomposite

@@indieartsmidwest4042 but im on opencomposite

Thingiverse.com😁Stl's are great hipoly sources

@@indieartsmidwest4042 ahh so the model is not for sale or anything like that??

@fazekamoi Totally free though you will have to cltrl-j(by distance), then L to loop cut pieces to what you need. Follow up with an edge split modifier.

Unfortunately you'll have to go back and reassign your vertex groups. There must have been a misstep. Using vertex groups isn't an absolute requirement if you're exporting to Unreal at present(Just needs to be parented properly). I will admit it's pretty cool joining all parts as one mesh but totally skippable especially if you're staying within Blender. I make mistakes with my vertex groups sometimes which is pretty common. I use that feature constantly. Personally I learned blender from editing meshes rather than modeling. Its literally all I do lol.

Sorry to state the obvious but most definitely a physics based issue. Where I would look. On the blender side check the bike origin. On the unreal side, check your collisions via viewport during gameplay to ensure that nothing is clipping through the ground(wheel colliders or body(cube/rectangle/etc.). It could also be a misstep in the physicsBP. Or the same for one of the wheel settings in the vehicleBP. Sometimes its smaller settings the get things going so start small and work your way up. Pay attention to the wheel radius as well. Hopefully seeing the physics during gameplay will help reveal the issue. Does it ever stop ragdolling? Can you contain it enough to get a good focus on the vehicle?

@@indieartsmidwest4042 It seems to happen within PhysicsBP I think, because even without any blueprint put in, when I put in the skeletal mesh and hit play or simulate fro the physicsBP, it does the same thing. Not sure how to correct it though Any tips or suggestions?😁

@@Wade978 If it's within the physicsBP then using the show physx command should help isolate the issue. My guess is that there's an error with the radius or perhaps the collision settings of the body or wheels.

@@Wade978 on the back end of this tutorial series. I made a follow-up video that addresses issues. Everything I have described does come up in the series either way.

Be sure to use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the thermistor at room temperature. It should be around 100k ohms at 25°C. If it's significantly different, there might be an issue with the thermistor or its connections. Also, in the firmware configuration files (usually named configuration.h or something similar), locate the section related to temperature sensors. Then ensure that you have selected the correct thermistor type (e.g., 1 for 100k thermistor) and that the temperature table is correctly defined. Lastly, please keep in mind this video is pretty old and I haven't worried about it in quite some time. However, I recently purchased a 3d printer and will be rebooting this project at some point.

Honestly no. The plan was to start off with a simple build using CD drives for my XYZ. But unfortunately I figured out too late that one can easily burn out their motor controller drivers if powered incorrectly. Which is what I did LOL. I would still like to build one of my own some day. Maybe when inflation goes down.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 and i burned my drivers too 💀

Of course, I usually tend to start off with blank projects and add internal project assets afterwards. If I remember correctly, when selecting the advanced vehicle blueprint. Unreal asks if you want to enable chaos vehicle physics. You can also find and enable it in the plugins.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 Even after adding the vehicle template from unreal to the project, it still did not work. The part you say to copy, is that from Unreal Engines blueprints, or is it one that you made?

@@borrowedtruths6955 the only thing was copied from the advanced vehicle blueprint was the vehicle movement section. That's all of what is needed to get it moving.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 yeah but i think since you made the video they've modified the template and it doesnt come with the chaos vehicle template anymore

@@hi-its-matt it's been awhile since I've installed a newer version of unreal but I've done a ton of research. Supposedly the chaos vehicle physics is still an active part of Unreal Engine. Did you select an advanced vehicle blueprint at start and enable the chaos plug-in?

Yea I went and checked. That sucks but honestly there's tons of options for motorcycles on Sketchfab🤷🏾‍♂

Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that. Themed 360 renders are so fun to make.

Applied rotations? What direction is your bike facing? That could affect the XZY constraint changes. Do either of the Z settings in the constraints make the swingarm move? Its possible one of those settings are too low. This is why I add a disclaimer about how the settings may vary based on a few factors like scale or forward direction. Please keep me updated, I will try to help sort it out.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 hi, thanks very much for the response i will try this and will keep you updated by the way my bike is facing the Y direction

I appreciate hearing that Just off the top of my head, this sounds like either an origin-based issue or a parenting based issue. I have recently posted an updated version of this tutorial which covers everything including a simpler process on behalf of the steering. ua-cam.com/video/UohStaxE06E/v-deo.html

Have you checked the physics and wireframe mode executables to see where they are spawning? Its's quite possible they're under the floor/ground.

Ah yes I have also occasionally run into this problem on occasion as well Looking at the pedal settings in my current file, this is what I have: -Left pedal has a bone constraint of Limit Rotation "Y-Axis" checked w/ Min Max at 0. -Right pedal has a bone constraint Limit Rotation #1 "Y-Axis" checked w/ Min 90 Max -90. Limit Rotation #2 "Y-Axis" checked w/ Min -114 Max 114. All using world space. I'm not sure why I had to set it up this way. But for me it was the only option to prevent the pedal from snapping 3/4 thru the spin. I'm not sure if this helps but I'm thinking that in rare occasions one may need to Add a second Limit Rot. The original file has no constraints since at the time, it was being prepared for use in UE4.

Eh, potato tomato🤷

Do it (Palpatine voice)

How?🤣🤣🤣 Your comment reminds me of when people started doing massive lego Gundam builds.

Ok lemme upscale the lego bricks rq

What do you mean by auto run? Also, can you also define rotate? That can be done by rotating the handlebars as an object or via the steering control.

@@indieartsmidwest4042 can I make this rig like rigacar addon? You know rigacar have option to follow path with auto rotate wheel and steering. You get the Point ? I want something like that for bike and bicycle

I'm not sure what you mean😕

lol nice fnix class was a really cool addition

i managed to get it to work i think i removed all parent from the wheel a re parented them to the body

Apologies for the late reply. Glad you figured it out. Yea parenting can make or break a setup and unfortunately things can get weird when moving to the unreal side. A good parenting hierarchy is definitely a key factor.

@@BrettRoss-k6p I have an updated process that excludes the need for a fake wheel here: ua-cam.com/video/_-e5CQKpS38/v-deo.html

Yeah unfortunately the original tutorial I learned it from took their video down though I'm not sure why. Perhaps they were asked by the game developers🤷‍♂️
