You’re way ahead of me on rigging/Xpresso!
That update to Rotation H rather than just Rotation fixed that steering error.
Thank you.
I’ll follow up with more as I continue to iron this out. It may bake correctly now actually.. -
The ‘Steering_Miura’ (front tire steering angle) object works when FL1 is connected to rotation H for me in one direction but breaks in the other rotation direction.
Screen capture attached.
I was under the impression that the ‘Steering_Miura’ is keyframeable (as is the ‘Drift_Miura’) but does not automatically turn based on spline shape when looking at the rig author’s animation example file.

I would like to see your file Maxim.
I separated the steering and wheel rotation as you showed.
After many attempts, the front wheel steering doesn’t work for me when connected to Wheel FL’s Rotation.P and Wheel FR’s Rotation.PI’ve also got my rearWheels joined to one mesh and rear brake calipers to one mesh respectively which works fine (This is for my UE setup so I can create smoke off of the rear wheels from one mesh eventually).
Photos of setup and .c4d file attached. I am working in C4D R23 but hat shouldn’t matter afaik.
I really appreciate your help.

Maxim,
Thank you immensely for your detailed write-up and shared images of your Xpresso setup!I think I need to rebuild my whole setup as these updates created some weird rotation results.
Pretty sure my axis’ aren’t properly aligned with the controllers.I will report back when I have it rebuilt and finally to share if it successfully bakes then!
Thank you again! -
Maxim,
I am having a very similar issue with the same rig.
I am trying to bake a car animation and port over to Unreal with Datasmith but the wheel/tire rotation isn’t carrying over ( except for one time, no clue why it worked that one time! ) and I am pulling my hair out.Can you share what changes you made to the rig to make it work for you?
