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 bake fast and can be modified in 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.

@CobbletonReal 6 months ago

Hello great work ! Do you prefer Blender or Unreal Engine for car commercial animation ??

@MAT_WORLD 9 months ago

i would make a sci-fi spider car with 6 legs between the body and the wheel, could the addon handle that or is it best to use normal cars for it?

Daniel, if I wanted to limit wheel turn rotation along the Z-axis, where would I go into Launch Control? I am creating a custom vehicle, and I am using Launch Control to rig it. It works fine during normal driving and turns, but when doing those drifts, the front wheel turns too much and clips through the body of the vehicle. Hence why I want to limit how much angle the wheel is able to turn.
Also, maybe in the next update, can you consider allowing us to do a negative roll value. I know it is set up to behave the way a car rolls when negotiating a corner, but if I am creating a custom vehicle and need it to roll the opposite way it won't let me do it because the roll values are only from 0-100.
