Description
People have asked me how to move vehicles though scenes and I did argue that it made more sense to move the scene rather than the vehicle. However, there are many instances where it really makes sense to actually move the vehicle (and the camera) - so this tutorial can be used as a guide to get you started.
[ 1 ] DEMO VIDEO: youtu.be/W6eUH_-EHy4
[ 2 ] If you need to merge the car and driver into a single model: fav.me/d78j1ao
(Necessary if the models are changing directions very quickly such as in a high speed chase scene).
[ 3 ] If you rather move the scenery instead: fav.me/d5g4jg4
(Probably the better method for close up, detailed animation - also the better way to go for simple animations or if the vehicle is moving just in a straight line).

Is there a solution to this that doesn't require the help of pmd editor?

You don't need the PMD Editor (probably) - just sort out your accessory and model draw order list. If you don't know how to do this or understand what I'm referring to, please look in my gallery and read this tutorial: MMD Understanding MMD Draw Order

Great tutorial! Is there an english version of this program?

Unfortunately, it only comes in Japanese. But it's not that complex a program and this tutorial shows how to use the major functions, so it is usable.

With new features like camera follow, outside parent and selective physics disabling it's easier to move a vehicle now.

Indeed. Probably should redo this tutorial for the more contemporary versions of MMD.

where can I find the pathmaker o_o
I searched for it but it seems that the download doesn't exist anymore p.p

It's a fairly popular piece of software with the Japanese MMDC so there should be a working link for it somewhere. You'll have to Google it for yourself though as I don't have the link.

I saw it recently on Bowlroll - look for it under Ussi-P's account. It's (also) packaged with one of his sky dome packs.
