Pre-Rigged Solutions comprise pre-riggeded high-poly models with simulation plug-ins, meaning they do not have to be rigged by the user themselves. All configurations have already been perfomed.
Six models from PerspectX are currently available: Apache helicopter, F-18 fighter jet, Blackhawk helicopter, Seahawk, CH53E SuperStallion and C-130 Hercules airplane.
For each model, the simulation plug-in that controls the Pre-Rigged Solution ensures the correct behavior: The F-18 moves quickly and agilely, the C-130 Hercules is slow and cumbersome. All movements can be controlled by button. The landing gear can thus be extended and retracted, the cargo hatch can be opened and the missiles can be fired.
Craft Animations intends to continue the Pre-Rigged Solutions and offer additional models such as cars, tanks or buldozers. The company sees a market for prepared models because of the often prevailing lack of time because of tightly scheduled production times.
