Help Pls with (carrig) trailer constraints


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to rig a trailer using the Car Rig node?
Right now, if I apply the Car Rig to the truck and use Constrain From Lines to attach the trailer(like layout in 3rd picture) it works -but the trailer has no wheels. And if I try to rig the truck and the trailer as a single object, the CarRig treats them as one mesh, which breaks the whole setup.

What I want to achieve is:

  • rig the truck and the trailer separately

  • have the wheels working on both

  • make the trailer automatically turn and follow the truck realistically (like a real semi-trailer)

Is there any way to combine both rigs or maybe tweak something inside the CarRig so it supports a trailer setup?
Rigging the entire trailer manually would be pretty painful, so I’m hoping there’s a simpler solution.r/Houdini - Help Trailer Constrains Carrigr/Houdini - Help Trailer Constrains CarrigCDN media
