CarX Technology. Car physics middleware for high class driving simulators


Hello Dear Friends! We are proud to present to you our project - CarX Technology.
. CarX is a unique, high class physics engine, It combines a very realistic behavior of all vehicle types with simple control from different kinds of devices. CarX physics model seriously differs from most of others, our physics model represents a very detailed simulation of vehicle dynamics in real time and it means that CarX is universal and can be used for all vehicle types, and they will behaves like real cars in any conditions and situations. You need only to define general characteristics for creating your car, and due to amazingly realistic force feedback on the steering wheel you will truly feel the car like you driving the real one, but due to Driving assist you can clearly control the car with keyboard keys, even in extreme situations.
. In CarX you can just look at the car from the side and you will understand that it “lives” by the laws of physics, all its parts are modeled separately and constantly interact with each other, it looks great, even in slow motion. The difficult and important part of car physics is tire model which is responsible for the interaction with the track. Our tire model takes into account lots of factors, for example, if the tire become deformed its change the contact patch, you’ll feel it and even see deformation visually.
. CarX physics is unique and universal. It’s suitable both for realistic simulators and for arcade racing games focused on realism, because of driving aids. According to your choice, you can make the physical model more arcade, it’s enough to change the grip of the tires, for example.
. The Development of CarX took more than 8 years and it is still improving. Initially the project wasn’t planned as commercial, it was a daily hobby. Inspiration to us was “Gran Turismo” series, our physics also often compares with «Live For Speed» simulator, which we are very respecting. For long eight years, the quality of the project grew until it reached the level to which we aspire. We were getting a lot of e-mail: that our physics is the best, that people want to see only this kind of physics in games, that they want to see CarX in their projects, were interested in the price etc. Knowing how much time and work requires engine of such class, we think: ”Why not share our developments?” We started to move in this direction and made sure to have no problems with integrating CarX in any project, which can be on any platform and on any engine.

Key features of CarX:

  • Easy to integrate into any engine (PC, Mac, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii,WEB applications, IOs, Android (with Unity3D engine))
  • Simulation/deformation of the tires
  • Detailed simulation of the suspension and all main systems of the car
  • Clearly control of the car with keyboard keys (Driving aids)
  • Realistic force feedback from the contact patches of tires
  • Detailed car setup (even in real time)
  • CarX can simulate any types of cars: from the carting to the bus with several sections.

We are glad to receive opinions and questions and please, write about your project, on what platform it is creating, what requirements you have to the Physics engine etc.

The traffic you guys realized in Unity looks amazing! Is it part of the package to create traffic like this?

Look amazing. Remind me this thread : http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/103086-KartSim
Same eveloper?

CarX on Unity…Awesome!!! Will this ever be on the Unity Asset Store? Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford this amazing physics collection. Great work.

Also I’m having trouble downloading the demo, is there anyway you could send me the demo link. Thanks.

Very nice look feel in your demo. This is likely the most realistic and best feeling car physics system I’ve seen so far for unity. I wish I had a steering wheel for my PC to really put your demo to the tests. As side note I used to do Kart racing as well as some SCCA club racing and I can say this has a pretty nice feel too it.

It’s a bit pricey for indie game builders but if your target is higher end developers, I guess it’s in line for them. Out of curiosity, what is the difference in your licenses? I noticed you have a a few different prices but there isn’t much info on what the differences are between them.

I received my link to the demo ( setup_carx demo v2.0(26.01.2012).exe ) - do you have a Mac demo build?

I’m…speechless. I totally love what I see there. Nice work.

more than develop with it, i would like to play a full blown simulator made with it, i feel racing genre hasnt had much advancement in the last 10 years other than including tons of cars that feel pretty much the same hahaha…

and its funny to see that silverstone race track its a defacto track for any racing game hahahahah

Have you looked at the comparison chart?

Hello CarX Team,

From new price sheet I see that you lower cost of carX. Thats good news. Last time when I speak with you guys (2011 year) you send me this kind of prices:

Im glad you realize that with this prices you will not get many customers :slight_smile: 550$ for LITE is fair price.

Thank you all for the feedback, we appreciate your opinion.

Traffic is not part of CarX, this video is to demonstrate that CarX can simulate large number of vehicles in real-time. Also, the latest version of CarX supports multithreading that gives a significant performance boost.

No, but it looks good

Thanks,currently we can not promise that, but it is possible. You can buy CarX from our website.

Please fill the form on our web site and we send you the link, but the latest version of CarX is only in Unity demo yet.

For some reason it does not launching from the first time and does not work on all web browsers. We solve this problem soon.

Thank you, you can see the prices and the difference here

Try Unity demo, it works on Mac.

Really nice, following this…

Hi CarX Tech Dev staff - my team is about to purchase a couple of project licences and we have sent some emails to your contact email address but no one has responded as yet (3 days). It’s very important to know what we are buying will do what we are expecting. The main question we have is what games out there are currently using CarX and especially we want to know about the ones running on iOS. When you guys get a chance can you please respond to our emails - looking forward to a reply soon

cheers,
Arran

Arran, sorry about delay.
We have very much requests about purchasing CarX in last month and
also we put very much attention to our clients who bought a license.
Our team currently is small and sometimes we cant answer rapidly.
We are working on our email response speed and all frequently asked
questions will be available soon.

I make to you personal apologies for speed of the answer.
We have emailed to you our proposal about little discount on
the first purchase of any CarX license for your waiting.
To get discount, report to me in advance about the decision to make
purchase and I will report to you a coupon code.

See all answers at your email box.

CarX Technologies - Car physics engine for AAA racing games.

Watch the video about the “CarX” technology on a mobile device, we have made support for gyroscope and a special driving assistant. Video demonstrates the simple “CarX” technology demo on IPhone 3gs using “Unity3D”. Notice the different behavior of the car according to different Parameters. In the future, we will show more possibilities of our engine on mobile devices.

This certainly looks like an excellent starter package - and well worth the money. Eight years in the making? It definitely shows.

I had a lot of fun playing the web-player demo and this is probably the best Unity car demo I’ve ever seen or tried. The demo itself is really well-done. Love the setup options and how the controls are laid out. On my P4 test system, it ran extremely well.

With the right idea and some AAA assets, I’m sure someone could whip together a really good game with this. I’m hooked on the demo! lol

Good job guys!

very nice good programming Car
how making script drifting score with the Wheels ???

good work, man, I really want to buy this, but now I don’t have enough money. What a pity!

Hi CgPanda! Do you know, we have CarX Lite edition for price lower than 1000 USD? An error occurred
Thank you for your comment.

Hi! What do you mean?)
