Pictures from the Animation Process



Some photos of the animation process. The oval shape around the car controls the whole car's location, which explains why it is highlighted when leaving the car garage. In the second picture, the car body is shifting to the right, as well as the front tires. The square shape hovering over the car controls the car's suspension, which allows it to bounce up and down as well as shift to the right or left. This becomes useful when the car has to make tight turns. The third and fourth pictures show the tire controls, and how they rotate throughout the animation. This was done by setting the rotation to a high number at the final keyframe in the animation.

Car Rigging Demonstration



This is the video I made which shows what each control does for my Mitsubishi Lancer Evo model. The way the controls were set up helped for the final animation. The car tires are rigged to bounce, spin, and make turns. The car body is rigged to bounce, and rotate to the left or right to simulate a turn. The front and back of the car body can also shift up and down.
