Never had to rig vehicles with camber angle. Thank you for this. Let me known if you have issues after modifying the rig. Maybe I could improve the generation process to take this into account (for instance by using the rotation of the wheel on the Y axis).

digiCreatures yeah my method works perfectly as far as I know. Wheels soon as you would expect, and the front wheels still turn just fine. But something built into the rig to change camber would definitely be way better!

@@cervidae3359 I will test if I can use the global rotation of the wheel mesh on the Y axis to apply camber automatically on the rig.

​@@digicreatures1945 Maybe also add some sort of "random seed" to wheel rotation, so each wheel isn't at the exact same angle. This would be especially helpful when the car is parked, so the wheels don't all look perfectly straight.

@@cervidae3359 You can already do that. Just rotate yourself each wheel widgets to choose the starting angle.

ugh Where to place the origins!

thank you, Ivan.

Thanks but no, there is no way actually to support my work. You have to use it really for free :)

@@digicreatures1945 you are awesome

Layers for armature still exist in blender 3.0. 3.x series introduced collection as a merging solution for group of objects and scene layers. But this is a different topic

Rigacar is not a simulation tool, it just generate rig. You have to animate your car in a traditional way (especially suspension).

Yes it is free now and for all. Don't forget to thank the Blender team and all the developers and the community. Rigacar is just a very small contribution to Blender.

@@digicreatures1945 Thank you for this addon brother

@@digicreatures1945 bro really thank you. for your work.

Trains are specific stuff. Even if you can use rigacar, I would not use it for such models. For instance you don't need steering and drifting but you need to rig the side rods. Sorry, you should look for another solution and probably create your own rig.

@@digicreatures1945 Do you know of any tutorials that well assist me in making a rig? I have no experience in that field.

@@dieseld261 If you are still looking for solutions I would suggest Pixel Level Pixel. He has done a whole series on rigging and in particular for your requirement he shows ways of rigging pistons, which could be applied to the drive rods on a train.

@@WaterShowsProd I'm not looking for a solution anymore but I will definitely be sure to check that out. Thanks.

I Figured it out, in case anyone runs into the same thing, my tires center point wasn't at each center of each tire so click each tire go to object then set center point to geometry

You're right, it is an issue many people have. Take care of the origin point because rigacar uses it to decide where the bones should be located. As for CarRig Pro, I haven't tested it. But as far as I know, the design is completely different. It includes support for simulation as rigacar is a pure rig generator only for animators (no simulation support at all).

In Blender, you can use an armature to animate objets or to animate meshes. Rigacar generates armature to animate objects because car models are usually made from separated objects. So you do not need to weight paint anything. If you are not used to create armature to animate meshes, the simplest solution is to have one or more separate objects for each door. In the armature, add one bone for each door. Parent these bones to the DEF-Body bone (you have to enable layer 16 of the armature to see it). Then parent door objets to the corresponding bone.

@@digicreatures1945 Thank you, your answer helped me. Rigacar is so much fun to work with!

Not sure to understand your problem. What do you mean by "does not show"?

Activate "Wheels on Y axis" (put the value of 1) and move the root widget along the Y axis. Check the spinning of the wheels. If it is not correct, it may be a problem of scaling your objects or scaling the armature itself (never do that). In this case, check your model, apply the scaling and recreate the armature. If the problem occurs when you bake the animation of the wheels, there is a good chance it is an optical effect. I speak about it in point 8) in the section "Advices and reminders" of the documentation: "After baking animation for wheels, it could seem the wheels are not spinning in the right direction (going backward while the model is going forward) or the wheels are barely spinning. You can check the generated animation curves in the graph editor but it is more likely an optical effect. It happens in movie, it happens in life and it happens in Blender. To know more, read io9.gizmodo.com/why-do-wheels-sometimes-appear-to-spin-backwards-1593807400 Try using motion blur at render time to have a more realistic effect." You can also check animation curves for the wheels. For a car going forward, the animation curves are going up.

@@digicreatures1945 I've already activated 'Wheels on Y axis'. But it turns the wrong way and very slowly. So I thought a negative values might help solve the problem. But it didn't. Also all my scales are applied. So I removed all rigs and did again with naming convention method. But my wheels seem to move to another location. So I rigged it manually. Now everything seems okay and it turns in the right direction. But the rotation seems a bit off. I've used this add-on before and it worked perfectly right back then. Thanks for your reply though 😘. I'll try baking the rotation and see if that helps.

@@digicreatures1945 thankyou buddy

hi man did you have solve that problem. I have similar issue. I can not find m.y root animation widget

@@rodrigomaldonado7642 oh. I solved it. Just make the BODY OBJECT . Like the mesh as the .body name and not a NULL. It solved my issue

Not sure what you mean. If you want to reset the armature location, you should use the shortcut alt+G to reset the location.

It is definitely part of my todo list but I have no time right now :(

@@digicreatures1945 I was following "make games" channel, he is trying to update your tutorial, he said in the latest version of Blender you cant bake the wheel rotation when following a path, is there a fix coming soon?

@@MrIzeQ Thanks for this info. The baking for wheel rotation is based on the animation baker in Blender. This feature was constantly broken and modified by the developpers until the very last moment of 2.80 release. Version 5 of this add-on was created specifically to work with 2.80 release. I will check but normally everything is fine with the latest version.

ahhh solved! i just misclicked the section icon..i clicked bones instead stickman. i.ibb.co/qJRP18d/image.png

I have just uploaded part 3. Enjoy :)

Thank you so much !!!
