As a 3D artist, you got to have a good looking car animation. In this video I'll show you how to do a basic car animation in Blender. It's going to be a simple car animation with realistic results. We'll be using drivers to create a very basic car rig in this tutorial.

For those using Blender 4.0+: The expression on the wheel's driver should be "tan(-var)", rather than just "-var"

Crazy how realistic it is! I’m trying this as soon as possible!

Just a note: In the "View" panel, you can check the option to lock the camera to the view. It allows you to use the normal viewport controls to move the camera around and I find it *way* easier to do than trying to manually move the camera around.

I bet if you were to animate the rotation of the HDRI to coincide with your beginning and ending keyframes it would help sell the look even more. Great Video !! Going to use what I learned here a lot - Liked and subscribed.
