Cinematic Car Rig

Why Do You Need This?

If you are an automotive artist, you probably know that animating cars using chaos vehicles or other physics based vehicle systems and recording your driving using the take recorder is not the best thing that has ever happened to you
Lets be honest, we all are obsessed with drifting, but making perfect turns with these systems is almost impossible even if you record your driving in slow motion and on top of that, when you’re done recording, that’s it! Even minor edits are off the table and you simply need to record again but think about that almost successful turn you made in the previous take! Time to chop off the takes!
Animating in your DCC app is a whole other story that I don’t even get started with but you probably know that you won’t get the real feeling of the environment when you do the animating there and also for any edits, you have to go back and forth from one app to another
Now that I have your attention, Cinematic Car Rig is a blueprint system designed exclusively for car animators

What Will You Get?

In this system, you can use custom static meshes for body, wheels and calipers
Wheels can trace ground and stick to it
This rig has a spring system
You can visualize everything in the editor and the sequencer
Wheels trace complex collision so don’t worry about generating or importing simple collisions
Keyframable drift angle with automated chassis leaning
Keyframable and separate front and rear wheels camber
Keyframable body roll, pitch and height

Spline Blueprint

This system includes a spline path blueprint that the car can follow

Wheels automatically rotate based on distance traveled on the spline
Automatic steering along the spline
Snap spline points to the ground with a click
Reverse spline path direction with a click
The car goes back to the start if the distance traveled is greater than the length of the spline path
Close the spline with a click and make a circuit track
