K'n'K Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Hey guys. On my "life goals" list there is this insane task of creating a dynamic car rig that is fully customizable for different shapes and sizes of cars (normal road cars, 4x4, race cars, etc) It should be something like the videos below. The reason behind this is I love cars (obviously) and I want to create a ton of car related stuff in houdini to learn dynamics, pyro, flip, grains but I don't want to spend too much time with setting up a vehicle and meticulously keyframe animate every aspect of it. The videos below look very realistic in terms of physics and they look like they're ready to be lit and rendered, and all these extra elements to be added. Needless to say that my intention is to share the setup if it ever gets this good. So what do you think would be the best way to approach this complex task? Is there already something out there that can be used for this? Ps: in the meantime I'm already downloading every hip and hda that is even remotely related to this topic Edited July 26, 2018 by K'n'K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to create an automatic/responsive car rig in Houdini for a project I'm working on but I couldn't find any tutorial about this. Do you have any information on this subject? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmedhindy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 3 years later and I am still looking at it, any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radekpl Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Did you tried 3Dbuzz technical rigging houdini. Especially Volume 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
