This tutorial shows a new "SandboxEmpty" component.

The "SandboxEmpty" component found in the APS_SDK can be attached to gameobjects when building custom props. This adds additional motion capture to the prop export data when exported from Luxor and allows recording moving parts on the prop (eg. sliding doors, ammo clips, landing gear, rotating wheels and suspension) and exporting the added mocap data to Blender as animated empties which are aligned with the original mocap prop so the animated empties can then be used to animated a more detail model for final rendering and is shown in the tutorial :)

The EEVEE animation and mocap were created before I this tutorial so I didn't have a chance to show the flight simulator controls or recording full body mocap. Hoping to make more tutorials soon!

New updates in Luxor v5.7.4:
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxEmpty.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxAnimatorSetBool.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxRecordable.cs**
- New APS_SDK Sandbox component: **SandboxRecordableButton.cs**

- Added new Blackhawk vehicle prop (with sandbox examples)
- Improved VTOL simulation, full physics based, added ground effect, high precision wheel colliders,

Hope you liked the tutorials !
