In this tutorial, you will learn how to rig a car in 2 minutes using Blender 2.83 animation software. If you want a text version of this tutorial visit my website.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. Blender version 2.8 or higher
2. A blend car model with wheels separated from the body
3. Blender Rigacar addon. Available at GitHub… (Thanks to David Gayerie of digicreatures.net for this amazing addon)Rename the wheels and body control objects as follows to let the add-on discover the structure of your model:
Front left wheel to DEF-Wheel.Ft.L
Front right wheel to DEF-Wheel.Ft.R
Rear left wheel to DEF-Wheel.Bk.L
Rear right wheel to DEF-Wheel.Bk.R
Body parent or control object rename to DEF-Body
Front right brake caliper to DEF-WheelBrake.Ft.R
Front left brake caliper to DEF-WheelBrake.Ft.L
Rear right brake caliper to DEF-WheelBrake.Bk.R
Rear left brake caliper to DEF-WheelBrake.Bk.L
Nice. I had a car rig add on for 2.79 and below but it malfunctions in 2.83 so this will be useful. Does this only work with 4 wheeled vehicles? I’m in need of a rig for a six wheeled truck with a 4 wheel trailer.
Hi Matt. It can work with almost all wheeled vehicles including a 16 wheeler. I am working on another tutorial for that. Stay tuned to gachoki.com and here Blender Nation.
Excellent, I’ll keep my ear to the ground on this.
Great! Thank you very much!
Most welcome!
hello looks nice does it work in 2.9
Yes, it works in blender 2.9
thanks i am rigging it now
Awesome
i am trying to generate the rig the tire rotations like the green circle for the wheel is not correct do you know why.
thanks
Hi. Unfortunately, I do not have an idea of why your model could be behaving that way
how could you edit the generated bone and rig because that would fix all my problems as that is what is causing the problems. the generated rig is correct but the green circle position for the wheel is incorrect therefore the wheels spin not form the origin.
Select the armature and go to the bones properties tab. From there enable the bone layer that you would wish to edit.
Hi, this guy is using your work on fiverr.
