Is there any way to move objects over a terrain and get the object to pan and tilt depending on the terrain that you are moving over?

e.g. I want to create a driving simulation that lets the user navigate over hills and into valleys

any help is much appreciated…

In order to do that I believe you would have to use some visual trickery, i.e., coordinated movement of your vehicle AND the camera simultanuously to present the 'visual effect' of a vehicle moving up mountains and down valleys.

This would take some storyboarding and, in my opinion, a lot of detailed coding to accomplish - unless you're willing to settle for a vehicle "sliding" up mountains.

Good luck and I would be interested in how you solve this problem.
