Video: Advanced Suspension Armature

​Discover how BuyingZebra’s advanced suspension armature utilizes Blender’s rigid body constraints to create realistic, physics-driven vehicle animations.

I have developed this armature using my tank armature as the foundation. Using the default bone constraints default bone constraints (with no drivers), the leaf springs (as well as the shackles and hinges) function like the actual suspension system IRL. Although the animations are procedural, physics were introduced into this armature to further accent the animation making the movements feel more natural.
