About Launch Control (LC) ►
If you want to make realistic-looking car animations in Blender in no time, LC is the tool for you!
It's built around 3 different parts of the process:
1. Automatic Rigging (One-Click Rigging of 4-wheeled cars)
2. Animation with presets for quick results
3. Physics simulations that real-time!
LC strives to make vehicle animation accessible and eliminates the usual problems you stumble over, when turning your action-sequence dreams into reality (a virtual reality, that is).
The simple interface packs a ton of power and in the "Manual Gearbox" you have a world of customization options to tune LC to your liking.

This looks like a good update. I used 1.3.55 for my recent car animation and encountered some problems: excessive body tilting on cambered roads or in the wrong direction while drifting so I used very low values, but now auto level might do the trick; also render stopping with speedometer enabled. I would also liked to be able to input exact values instead of sliders. Ex: suspension travel up in cm, camber or caster in degrees etc.

@DanielVesterbaek 10 месяцев назад

Hi!! Oh, thanks for the nice words about the video! And thanks for sharing these things about the previous version. The physics in LC 1.5 is our own setup, so it's completely different from the physics in 1.3.55. The old one used Blender Softbodies to calculate everything which seems to base stuff on velocities (without the ability to change that), but the new one calculates accelerations and bases everything on that. It should give you much better results. We also removed the old speedometer and made a new one that doesn't cause crashes during rendering. And you can also use nurbs for the driving path now, which often have nicer interpolation than the bezier curves. Thanks for the suggestion on the numeric input for the sliders! We had the suggestion to allow the user to decide weather he/she wants the sliders in the n-panel or over the vehicle. Having values shown on them would be great here too. Thanks for the support and I hope you'll find that LC 1.5 already solves many of the lacks LC had. We are excited to keep developing this tool! :)

For support questions, please reach out on BlenderMarket or in our Discord - We would be happy to help in there, but we usually miss questions here on RU-vid :( You can change the size of the car if you go into "garage mode", then enter "Pose Mode" and drag the handle called "bone_setup_wheelBaseHandle" around. :)

@DanielVesterbaek 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! My guess would be that it might be because the vehicle you are using was rigged in an earlier version of LC. If the vehicle is rigged and then the add-on updated afterwards, some features won't be available for that vehicle. The best thing to do is to re-rig the vehicle with the updated version of the add-on.

@ExoticCrickett 10 месяцев назад

great but if u added later controller option it would be great, setting all this lines it would be better if car would automatically interact with rigid bodies and do suspension and stuff on its own

@DanielVesterbaek 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the suggestion! Next step for us is to add some nice tools for making the keyframe animation workflow faster. It would of course also be cool to be able to control with an input device, but it doesn't really align with the core of the add-on, which is about "art direction" and "iteration". The vehicle animation tools that depend on an input device are super cool to work with (take RBC for instance - a great tool!), but it is very different from LC as it's hard to direct the motion of the vehicles. You will find yourself "recording" the motion over and over and over trying to get it exactly like you want it. You also cannot iterate in the same way as when you use a spline-based workflow. LC takes the opposite approach, letting the artist have full control and only uses the physics for secondary motions.

@cgbyrobert 10 месяцев назад

Cool. Are you locked to a drive path or could you connect it to for example an xbox-controller and stear it in realtime?

@DanielVesterbaek 10 месяцев назад

Thanks!! Launch Control is a spline based animation tool, so you will always need to use a path to animate the vehicle along. In Blender you have a few different ways of making the paths - If you have a road mesh you can extract an edge loop from it and make it a path, you can draw with the pen tool in the viewport and it will create a path from that, or you can place points in 3D space, which is the most manual way to do it.

@daveson3D 2 месяца назад

this looks awesome, might just switch to blender and buy this just for this tool. How far can the vehicle stray away from the path while jumping?

@DanielVesterbaek 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the question! Heheh, go for it! :D (My biased opinion) During jumps, the physics take are of the "height" the car is flying in. So it can stray far away from the path. However, it will only move up and down on the z-axis during jumps - It doesn't allow the car to fly to the side or flip around during a jump (unless it is "forced" to do so due to the shape of the path).

@DanielVesterbaek 2 месяца назад

Hey there! For support questions, please reach out on BlenderMarket or in our Discord - We would be happy to help in there, but we usually miss questions here on RU-vid :( It sounds like you would want to use the "User Path" field for this. There you can define the start and end frame and see how fast the vehicle will be travelling from the start to the end of the path. Make sure you are using the latest version of LC to be able to use this feature :)

@daveson3D 2 месяца назад

another question, can the vehicle stay in one place but have the ground move instead of the vehicle and have the vehicle react to the ground?

@DanielVesterbaek 2 месяца назад

Yes, you can do that as well. The physics would still respond to the ground even if the ground is "pulled" under the car instead of the car moving across it. :)

question. is there a way to animate the car with launch control but WITHOUT using Splines as a path follower? I mean it would be a hussle to always do splines... do you have the ability to animate FREELY? just like MadCar or craft director studio for 3DMax... overall it loos fun to play with... cheers

@DanielVesterbaek 9 месяцев назад

Hey man!! Thanks for the question - Right now LC is spline based, which means you would need a spline in there for the car to follow. We have had a lot of requests for a "sandbox mode" where the user can "drive" the car instead, but I don't know when or how we would implement that exactly. :) Cheers!!

@andreybagrichuk5365 10 месяцев назад

What an exellent tool, Daniel. Thank you a lot for development and your passion to product. One question from my side. Can you please say how can we bake car with animation to the fbx siquance and save separately for use later in different scenes for different CUT-s ? Our problem is that we need render our with deadline and deadline not recognise phisics

@DanielVesterbaek 10 месяцев назад

Hii! Thanks a lot for your message in here :) I would avoid exporting to FBX if you want to bring it back into Blender. Blender doesn't handle FBX import with animation so well. Instead, I would select the "body, wheel and brake objects" and use the "Bake Action" function in Blender with "Visual Keying", "Clear Constraints", "Clear Parents" turned on, which will bake everything including the physics to keyframes. Sometimes it can cause wheels to spin backwards if the car is going very fast, but other than that it works pretty well as an alternative to exporting an fbx. Would this maybe be a possible solution?
