    Hi there.

    Are there any tools around that will take the wheels of a Blender model (probably called Wheel1 etc) and create the colliders ready to be used in the editor? Or can this only be done manually?

    Thanks.

    So, I bought NWH Vehicle Physics asset for this reason, and as @neginfinity said, it's actually easy to roll one out on your own, and I ended up doing that, because it was more lightweight, and tailored to my own needs. I don't regret buying NWH Vehicle Physics though, as it provides a real example of the results that I wanted, and I used that to examine how I should implement my own solution.

    The major work that I needed to do to get this working is re-orient all my vehicle models to face +Y, as I originally had them on the +X. This is needed because the Unity WheelCollider requires it. Otherwise you end up with vehicles moving sideways.
