The baked maps are assigned to a final mesh that is constructed from about 200k triangles which is in the same range as a hero car model in a AAA video game. It consists of over 3million polygons which has been baked down using high end video game techniques in a software called Marmoset toolbag. The base Sculpt was built with a combination of Autodesk Maya and Zbrush. The model is too simple, it is not usable.Resizing the rig is tricky to do for a beginner in Maya.Path animation is tedious and too difficult to setup.Add Ackermann & Parallel steering blend option.Adding multiple cars to a scene requires editing the expression on each car.The expression causes some odd viewport glitches for some users.In certain situations the wheels don't rotate accurately.I want to thank everyone who contributed to this list, you know who you are 😊.

Here are the main things I will be addressing. The growing request list was a bit overwhelming at first but after going through each item individually, it does feel doable and I am pretty excited to work on it. This rig worked well for everything I needed it for so I put out a car rigging tutorial for this exact rig a few years back that was really well received.Īfter listening to a ton of amazing feedback and diving deeper into the workings of steering geometry I decided to take this rig to the next level. The rig could be resized to fit most 4 wheeled vehicles. Many years ago, I had the idea to make a reusable car rig with suspension capabilities and accurate wheel rotation with regards to steering and translation. This is my progress blog for the creation of the UAC-Rig. Users are easily able to resize this rig to fully connect to any 4 wheeled 3D model in a matter of minutes to achieve stellar animation results without any headaches. As well as its unique resizing capability, it boasts a fantastic built in path system, light weight dynamic suspension, in depth steering geometry tuning, tire pressure interaction and a full working chassis model.
