Articulated Steering Rig | Cinema 4D | C4D
Rig for articulated steering of a vehicle or a trailer hooked up to another vehicle for MAXON Cinema 4D.
Here's what it can do:
- Vehicle drives dependent on steer- and speed-values
- Vehicle has articulated steering, so it "folds" in curves
- Vehicle automatically rotates it's tires individually
- Tires leave spline-trails behind
The rig is controlled by two sliders, for steering and speed.
For animation those sliders can be animated, but it's also just working realtime in the viewport (see video).
The default-geometry can of course be switched to your liking. Instructions on how to do this are included.
Made in Cinema 4D R18. Tested in R23.
Note:
The LEGO-wheelloader is NOT included and just serves as an exemplary use of this rig.
