5 minutes of Car rigging in Blender (Quick and Easy Tutorial) 3.3 VERSION 

Short note... Before you apply all transforms to the wheels, add the empties first

Great tutorial. very easy. i learned a lot

Well done. Nice video

thanks

@ 4:50 - you can achieve the same selection by simply clicking the rim, the tire, and then the empty axis without having to hide and unhide.

Thanks man. after many videos i watch, this video is work for me

Thanks a lot, rarely you find thngs that work right on the very first try👍🙌

I'm really enjoying learning more about Blender, this was a great quick video. thanks! I did play around with the implementation just a little and found a way to fix one inaccuracy. This rig is lacking one important part in the suspension, the steering knuckle at each wheel. I wonder if the rigacar has an object for this, it likely does and this tutorial isn't that in depth. but even without any extra support from rigacar, I improved the realism regarding the caliper. the caliper should not rotate with the wheel of course, but it should steer with the wheel. also, the caliper should not move with the body, it should move with the steering knuckle, so basically it should move with the wheel, rotate with it on around the Z axis, but not rotate about the X. I accomplished that this way: unparent the caliper from the main body (reposition it back to where it was if necessary apply the caliper's rotation (ctrl+A, select rotation) under the constraints tab, add a copy location constraint, leave all 3 axes selected, and select the plain axis of that wheel as the target. the caliper will now follow that wheel and stay in position, it will follow that wheel's location, not the body. so if the suspension moves, the caliper stays where it should. --the next steps only need to be done on wheels that steer, so front wheels on almost all vehicles) next, select the plain axis of that wheel and move the cursor to it (shift+s->cursor to selected) now select the caliper again and set its origin do the 3d cursor (object->set origin->origin to 3d cursor) now the caliper will rotate about the same axis as the wheel when rotated next add a copy rotation constraint to the caliper, select the same wheel's plain axis as the target, and in the properties next to where it says axis, select only Z. now, when the wheels steer, the caliper rotates along with the steering wheels, rotates about the center of rotation of the wheel as a whole (so it stays in the proper position vs the brake disc), and moves along with the wheel and not the vehicle's body...but does NOT rotate when the wheel rotate. It just adds that one nice finishing touch! I assume rigacar has a feature built in to accomplish the above...if someone knows please share! also, as mentioned in another comment, that thing behind the wheel is the brake disc or rotor. it actually should rotate along with the wheel, should your car model have cross drilled, slotted, multi-piece etc discs, you should see the features of the brake disc rotate along with the wheel when the car moves.

Nice tutorial, man. Keep up the great work!

This is great man! thanks a lot

This was super helpful thanks

Very Clear. Thank you very much helped a lot bro.

this has pushed me into a twoo week long blender skillz session Actually still haven't found out how can I make the rotors and calipers follow yaw and heave of the wheels in other words, make them bounce and turn

Btw since you said in the video you don't know what the part is, the part next to the calipers is called a brake disc :)

I can't generate🙂🙂

I seem to be getting an error where ground sensors are not found. Any suggestions on how to solve that?

Just Perfect Rigg!!!

im currently involved in a development team for a new game im trying to figure out how to rig tank tracks as you showed 4 wheels how would i do that to tank track treads only

Thank you so much! It works perfectly now.

Thanks man, Great work

why are the tires on models i download are all like one group/mesh, and can't be ungrouped? is it the issue with model or i need to do something?

Insane !

thanks a lot it worked first time

thanks bro. same with my desk top case

Very nice. Thank you.

bro in new Blender 3.3 rigacar 7.1 addon the bake car steering and bake wheels rotation is not working can you make video on this........?????

thanks man !!!!!!

Hey! I was trying to rig a car, but whenever I click Generate, the wheels dissapear and the car just floats there with no rig. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Could it be that the car dosen't have brake calipers?

It woorkeeed thanks bro

The rig is working until I start to keyframe it and then all the wheels go to one spot... Any ideas how to fix that? other than that great tutorial!

Quite easy, thanks

thank u bro

any fix for car going upside down?

Thank you!

great turorial

what if my 3d model dsent have brakes? its the same process?

Hey there, I got a question, so I have modeled a car by myself but all the parts are separated, like the doors the windows. So do I have to join them together or I can just parent them, thank you!

You deserve it bro ❤🫡

It gives me an error message when I try to generate it and I end up with armatures and the car does not move or function correctly. Any idea how to fix this?

i cant understand the tire part anyone explain?

Nice tutorial! Anyone know how to have same control rig for Unreal ?

🔥🔥🔥

THANKS BRO !

I wanted to rig a truck that has 6 wheels but it seems that this addon won't let me do it.

superb 👌👌

Great video ! Anyone know how to configure on Unreal?

Hey, I'm facing an issue for my rig. I did follow the exact procedure with the correct names. But wheels are rotating in the opposite direction, can you please provide a fix for it. Loved the tutorial btw. Thanks

Bros face 👦 Bros voice 🗿

When I am selecting the wheels all 4 wheels are selecting together what should I do?

why do you hide and unhide instead of shift clicking the components?

this is good tuts but how u rig the car steering wheel?

hi, when turning the wheel, the caliper remains in place how can this be fixed? please help

Hi ! Thanks for this video but it don't work for me... I'm using blender 4.0 and I try with blender 3.3 but it still dont work for me...

I'm new to blender i have a problem with the 3d models when i click the will it clicks all not individualy how can i fix it?

where are all of your subs man! you need more starting with me

why when i turn my front wheel the brake caliper not follow

This addon fully not working but car full generate but not moving please tell me what problem

Hello i ask by chance u know how i can do for export only doors or steering Wheel or wheel without the skeleton but i want conserve the root skeleton in all my bone

What to do if it’s a truck with two rare tires ?

How can we make that this car follows a curve and the wheels and suspension react automatically to speed and terrain deformation? otherwise is a waste of time animating all that by hand, it would be much better just to buy the car rig pro or any addon like that

How would you do this with a bike or motorcycle or any 2 wheel vehicle?

why the caliper and the disk cant rotate ?

anyone else trying with 4.0? i cannot get it to work

How do you make this rig work if the vehicle has just 3 wheels? Like one front wheel and 2 rear wheels? E.g., a Tuk tuk.

hey, do you have any idea how to make this work with camber ? is there any way to make the wheels rotate in the local axis of wheels or empty ?

how to export the rigged car with bones and other?

does this rig allow for 4WD and how would i make that work?

you should make a separate video for front wheels front breaks disk are not rotating btw it was obvious.the thing is wheel disks should rotate with wheels and break pads should not

Should we download rigfile for every car please guide

I've tried it too many times. Sometimes the the entire car spins with the wheel and sometimes only the rim turns with the steering not the wheels. rig does not configure on the exact location. There is always been an some every time. This is trash

tutorial start at 1:45

I have problem with the tire its spen wrong

look at the camera

how about blender 3.5?

the wheels do not rotate on the x axis

where can i get that model?

Teach us how to start this rigged car in unreal Engine

I have a car model but all the wheels are grouped as a singular object, is there any way to separate them? thanks!

Is it possible to use this rig on a atv?

But what if it isnt facing the right way? 2:54

Bro how to own car modification in beamng drive game

not worked broo cant add wheels

i want sleep

You steups a lot 😂

why you start the tutorial in the middle ....the car or any sketchfab car come with milion parts all separated from eachother ....how you put them togheter first of all .....people canot folow if you already done that and we get 1 milion car parts all separated ...even if the rig still work and do it ..when importing to unreal or whatever you get splitted parts all 1 by 1 ..not a hole car with skeleton and shit

a Big dislike

Best tuto out there man - !! @charlieautomotive
