Yes, I started almost 3 months ago, although I couldn't touch it for at least a month. I'm only working on it during my spare time.

I originally just planned to do the model. Then I decided to try a walk cycle and finally a long walk with steering. The latter being by far the hardest. Once I can get the wheel motion smooth enough, I'll make a nice skylight render, then move to the next project.

I don't think Carrara is the right tool for animating this type of character, or maybe my approach was wrong. I'd like to have the parent-child relationship of the leg-wheel affect the position but not the orientation, or be able to move the wheels independently and let the front and rear legs fall into position. Will the track modifier work on a bone?
