Cinema4D - Dynamic Car Rig (DCR)

With the Cinema 4D Dynamic Car Rig (DCR) you can quickly animate cars and other vehicles. As the car drives autonomously along a spline, it does not need any keyframes to animate. It recognizes curves and even other cars in order to adjust speed and steering behavior.

The tool consists of three parts:
● DCR-Car
● DCR-Track & Commandos
● DCR-Cam

How to Install DCR and first steps:

In Layout Mode you can adjust the dimensions of the car, tire size, suspension travel, wheel suspension and the rough collision shape of the car.

The car drives independently along the linked spline "Track Spline". The behavior of the car, for example when it brakes in the curves and how fast it drives, are determined in the DCR-Car user data settings.

With Track & Commandos you can give commands to the car along the track spline as soon as it enters its command area. You can also add cars (object list) to let them interact with each other.

Activate and position the Commandos along the track.
Speed,"Lane Position" and tire friction can be changed here while driving.
The range of control can also be changed with "Commando Size".

The DCR-Cam follows the car without adopting its angle and tilt. This means that the camera does not take on the vibrations and turns of the moving car, making it an ideal tool for the quick animation of exciting racing shots.
