Writing expressions for the wheels from the Course Vehicle Rigging in Maya. Once you have the car parented and moving as a static object, you can think about the expressions for the wheels.
We want to use an expression for the wheels that makes them roll on the road as we pull the master control forward. What I need to do is solve for some kind of rotation for one forward unit of movement on my Master Control. When I pull on the x axis, those wheels should spin automatically. When I had made my original Nurbcircles for the wheel, I had made one and not deleted the history and then cloned it around. The clones don't have a radius, but in the original control front left, the first one I made. Taking 13.156 times 2, if we take the radius times two, that gives us the diameter. I don't need all those decimal places. Right now, I've still got the view going by expressions.

Basically the principles are the same but games are more restricted in what you can use to create the deformations you require. basically we use joints for everything as the engine can build joints cheaply (sometimes we use blendshapes (morph targets) but in some of our engines were limited n the number we can use, and how many can be used simultaneously, so we avoid these if we can). but unless the programmers have coded in support an particular deformer, or setup an in game real time deformer, you cant use things like lattices, clusters, wraps, dynamics.... ect also one of the main things we do is keep the joint hierarchy separate and clean, as in a joint can only be parented to another joint (not a group under another joint with an offset position) well that's how Ive found it although there are some people who stick to anatomy, but when it boils down to it all if it deforms better that's the right position.
