environment was filmed with camera, kitt was added in scene with camera tracking and animating... I assume.... I asked quiete a few questions up there but didnt get the answers...
Model was made in: 3DS MAX 2009

Vehicle Animation: Craft 4 Wheeler Plug in

Particles: FumeFX

Camera Tracking: Cameras from 3ds max....? Not sure what you mean about tracking as the scenes from his videos seem to be completely 3d scenes with photo backgrounds. No real video is in the scene that I can see.

An animator doesn't need a tracking plug in for max anyway. The tools in max are quite efficient and you will find a ton of tutorials on how to do so. Now if you use Maya or Softimage I would be happy to recommend SynthEyes. I love that program for tracking!

Anyway, thanks for the model kdeniz! I made some corrections to the interior already. You had based some of it off of replicas. I went in and changed it to where it's based on the tv show rather than a replica. If you would like me to send it back to you with the corrections let me know!

The link doesn't work for me...
KNIGHT RIDER RELOADED is a series of movies on Youtube to represent a different creative avenue to the Knight Rider we knew in 2008-09.

Kadir, if you do not mind I am using that large image (reduced to 1024x768) for my desktop :good:.
