      I'm creating a new post.

      So I found a solution for movement on the tank on a surface; with ray collision, I have more freedom of movement. I've attached the file.

        It works quite well by adding this system to both sides.

          Hi Pitchi,

          Thanks for starting a new forum thread.
          https://cineversity.forums.maxon.net/post/8838

          Yes, that looks very smooth.

          I might have misunderstood your point, and seeing all the motion and inertia as the main target. Thanks for sharing it, it helped clear the target you had. Nice solution!

          Perhaps some springs to the cube, to increase the secondary motions?

          To be more complete for a forum's thread:
          There are two options with Raycast, since you mentioned that you used an MG Matrix Object in a different setup
          Nodes

          XPresso (that you used in the setup, but I mentioned it here, as it is a proven way to get surface data.

          Seems like you are equipped with the needed knowledge.

          My best wishes for your Project

              You're very welcome, and thanks for the feedback, Pitchi.

              If your previous statement about XPresso was not just to be humble, you made an expressive progress. 🙂

              It feels like you can see a lot of value in XPresso. Very nice.

              Enjoy your project
