Question Move cars on terrain

Hi

On my terrain with mountain and so on, i want to animate 4 cars. I want the cars follow the ground. Someone have an idea to do this automatically and not adjust the key frame manually when the ground change (because i have huge change on this ground).

Thanks in advance for your help

I think the technique will apply to a non moving terrain aswell. There is a surface follower plug in but it's not a Mac one.

Here's a link to a plug-in that I think would be great, but it's for the PC.

It's called "Vertigo". Check out the demo .avi.
There has to be something out there that would help you.
I know I've had very good luck with my situation. Try the general support area and post this question. That might be a good thing.
Good luck.
