    Greetings Creative Cows and any Cow Car Enthusiasts,
    I would like to post a link to an After Effects project I have been working on that I thought some people would like to have a look at.

    (1 Run in a WRX 00 Wagon at Western Sydney International Dragway, Sydney, Australia.)driver:bmxwrx

    Features:
    Speed (corrected for different final drive ratios)
    rpm (plus blinking shift light at 6000rpm)
    Boost
    Throttle Position (Green vertical bar)
    Knock Sensor with 1 second memory(Red graph)
    Calculated Gear Position

    All gauges are accurately animated to the real world.(not hand animated or keyframed etc)

    Notes:
    Racetrack map is just keyframed… it was just for entertainment value on this one video.
    Timers are only as accurate as the video and also for amusement.
    I got the idea while talking to my friend mike95 from the first video.
    I developed the technique a few months back and have been working in an unrelated(?) fulltime job since.

    I would be interested to hear what people have to say.

    the gauges look really cool, I’ve done something similiar a while back.
    The only thing I did different was to add camera shake with motionblur for greater realism (by linking the gauges with motiontracker to the cockpit)

    🙂
