In nuce: Picto Filmo, a group of French 3D artists, has released a new Blender add-on called RigiCar, which makes it easier for users to animate vehicles. According to the add-on’s description, RigiCar allows users to animate vehicles in real time – without any rigging. With RigiCar, it should be possible to quickly populate scenes with 3D vehicles. Cost: 22 euros.
What can RigiCar do? Align the plugin with the desired vehicle, select one of the four vehicle tyres, select the preferred driving surface, select the path direction – and the setup is done. Depending on the speed of the vehicle, traction and steering should also behave realistically. Users will have to find out for themselves whether the add-on is actually as easy to use as the accompanying description promises.
