Re: 3D wheel patch revisited

Hi,

I followed the idea of having 4 wheel objects for the different
speed for motion blur.
The root name can be specified in the "Graphic Objects" section
in the attribute "3d wheel". The default value is "wheel".
The objects will have the following names :
<root name><0-3>.acc
so by default:
wheel0.acc for rotation < 20 rad/s (25 km/h for a wheel with a diameter 
of 70 cm)
wheel1.acc for rotation < 40 rad/s (50 km/h)
wheel2.acc for rotation < 70 rad/s (88 km/h)
wheel3.acc for rotation > 70 rad/s
