Do you have your channel synced with the LBRY protocol? So we in the Free World could see it naively?

Sorry, but I don't get your comment. What is LBRY and why should I do this? Never heard of it.

YouTube is a centralised, proprietary publication service. LBRY is a Free / Libre Software protocol for publication. It's basically like Blender, while YouTube is like Autodesk. The easiest way to talk to this protocol is through the Odysee.com . Which is a web based front end to the LBRY protocol. There is a feature to sync YouTube with it. So you could upload to YouTube. And people on LBRY could still watch your videos.

My new course is finally ready.

In this tutorial I show you a rig setup to control a car. No custom rigging Addons are needed, just Blender. After this tutorial you’ll be able to let drive a vehicle on a custom defined path. You define the driving direction and speed. And the car just follows.

The wheels will rotate using the right revolution, even backwards if necessary. And the car driver behaves also realistic and moves the steering wheel according to the wheels current direction.

All this happens completely automatically, without setting dozens of keyframes! The whole animation is controlled just by one value!

Info: There's also a shorter tutorial version for experienced Blender users. Just visit my YouTube channel to watch it.
