@@postprocessed Wait! I am currently having my wheels fall through the ground instead of procedurally lift up when the block slides underneath. Anywhere I should look first, rewatching now haha
We possibly need a V2 update to this rig because I'm getting a couple problems. 1) If my surface is really high, the wheels clip through the body. A fix I would think is to rotate the body a bit as that's what a car would do in real life. But that brings me to problem 2) The body bone where I would do my body transformations seem to be parented to the wheels. If I rotate the body my whole car rotates rather than the body alone.

@@まゆげ-b4xUnfortunately the only way I could seem to fix the issue was to create the modular rig again in another UE project and for some reason that worked..It’s experimental for a reason I suppose 😅
Today, I created again in different project as you said. But it won’t move😢 →Sorry, I could figure it out now. If we switch to modular control, our original control rig (I mean Mustang) doesn’t work. Though, the model which we apply the car rig module can move properly. So, we can use except original control rig.
dude hahahah no, we with madgoat invested so much time into CCR to be perfect. this is just free rig suitable for cinematics, if you are starting with Unreal just to understand if you want to make car renders there or no. basically: CCR is the GOAT. This rig is quite simple just to have people covered who are not sure if they gonna stick to UE and don't want to spend money on assets at the beginning
for some reason wih my car module it worked fine up until i created a modular rig then it changed my hierarchy and gave me a spawn bone in the construction event and added the root to the bottom UNDER the control space. I removed the control and added mine back in and it works but i don't think I can use it modularly now. Any tips anyone?

Thank you so much for creating such a high-quality tutorial! but I have a problem, Can I ask a question..? When I rotate the body controller, the wheels and body rotate at the same time. I've been watching the video again and again, but I don't know where I went wrong.
Check that body control transform has “propagate to children” disabled, but the thing is that “Body” is rotating root bone in the very end of the graph, which affects everything. What can be a workaround: Create NEW body controller connect it to Body bone in the end. OR create NEW body controller and unfolt rotation and translation pin, connect it with ADD node to “body dummy center” which sets the body bone (pre-last “Set Bone”) node. That will be values from new controller you made to body suspension fucntion
@@postprocessed Thank you for your kind reply. But your advice is difficult to understand at my level. I've just started studying Unreal. I tried rebuilding the control rig again, but found that the problem reoccurred after producing the part of the video starting at 26:25. I isolated that part and connected the first sequence node and the body offset node and it worked fine. But it's okay. It's already good enough, but I'm going to try using it without that feature. Thank you for your time. have a good day!
hey man! I get some samples from artlist.io for sounds and also... Using one funny trick... I run Forza Horizon 5 and record car driving sound... :D not perfect solution, but well.. That's ain't stupid if it works!
Why in My Ue Nothing is Working even the starting step when we get the body control and Add Offset there is no body rotation i dont know how every one is saying its working if you know how to fix please let me know
Hey Thanks for the tutorial! Also, I was shocked by the camera view of face! Would u mind telling me how to achieve that soft look? Is it cuz of camera?
The rig itself works fantastically until I leave Unreal. I can't use it in animation sequences though. Every time I restart Unreal the rig requires a recompile, and even if I save the animation sequence on the time line it "forgets" everything I have done every single time and I have to drag in another copy of the rig and start over. :(
Amazing tutorial, Thank you very much for sharing this gem! I just encountered an issue that I don't know how to resolve. After switching to the Rig Module, the physics aren't working in the editor. Additionally, when I attach the rail, the car's physics don't work. Have you experienced something like that?
@@Void_rift_disconnect keep it as control rig (not module) create empty level. Create level sequence. add control rig and rail to the sequencer. Test out the rig. It works just fine for me. tested on multiple cars.
You can use some of the techniques from here to offset the wheels but for animating the track ok the tank it's another story, i've seen that the best way is to animate the material of the tank tracks
27:59 i dont know what hpned, but, my car turned 180 degree and i dont have caliber bones in the first place, so i gave bone connection to constrains, my model is diffrent
Hello, great tutorial! What happens if I need to apply this to a car that has the "body bone" inside root bone, same as the old tutorial on this matter? Is it possible to do it that way?
My wheels turn fine when I move the steering controller, but when I add in the wheel rotation, the wheels spin on multiple axes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I double-checked everything twice, but still can't find how to fix that.
ah, well, I think there are plenty of videos about it - it's called Chaos Vehicle. And you can use same skeleton for that, or you want me to do the tutorial about it? :)
@postprocessed is it possible to have the car wheels rotate automatically based on the x-axis position of the car? This feature will elevate this car rig setup. The current wheel spin control can then be used to add extra spin for animating drifts and power slides etc
I am currently checking this, because I believe control rig can not feed rig world position and transform that to local space for wheel rotation. I am not very fond of control rigs as they seem to be quite limited compared to blueprints
@@postprocessed Thanks for the reply! Hopefully, it's possible to get this working. I am currently trying to get the car to tilt during drifting, so I re-enabled the body control. For some reason, the control rotates the entire car and not the body alone. I know you disconnected the body control because of the auto-suspension. I can't figure out why the control is affecting the entire car after the full rig is complete but it wasn't doing this at the start of the process.
@@charithevfx yeah, check “Chaos Vehicle” tutorials, they use same bone structure so it is possible to make it drivable, and use rig only for cinematics 👍
@@postprocessed I tried chaos vehicles plugin with following tutors instructions carefully but the car isnt move and wheels go below the ground. i was searching for the issue and no solution found. now i am fedup with unreal chaos. please help me to find a solution if you can
this is for cinematic and animation BUT! Bone structure is the same as chaos vehicle, so you can use same MESH with same skeleton, so you can do for example "in game" cinematics with rig and than make also a playable car with same mesh on Chaos Vehicle plugin.
Hi! Very cool tutorial! But i have a question: How i can export all of car's animations into the Maya? Because car position transform by rail slider not baking like animation :(
@@postprocessed Thank you! I watched VDB tutorial. You seem to be using keyframe animation to rotate the vehicle. I didn't see a rail spline there. I couldn't bake body animation that is driven by the Distance Traveled slider :(
@@MrKowkin ah you are using different rig, not the one from the video. But yes anyway you can animate rotation with transform and connect camera rig rail instead of spline. so that's how I do that most of the time
I come to the end of the tuto, the car work well, the step inside the wheels are ok, and then i come to the animation with control rig and animate, put camera, and the wheel don't want to spin, the controls arrow don't want to be use inside the map level.... Help ..... Thanks for the nice tuto tho!
@@NicolasBallester i think they only appear when you have sequencer open… otherwise if it is just in the scene they are not, otherwise should work fine, but I am also preparing and update for this rig and new video and will share project file with few cars

I can't get it to work. At 34:30 you show very important steps but do things extremely quick. I have to view it at quarter speed. When i do exactly what i can see you do, the rig controls are not showing and the car height variables do nothing. Any suggestions?
This has me stumped... I get to 30:36 and everything is working perfectly except the cube passes right through the front tires instead of them responding to the height difference. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
i seem to be having an issue where the collision detection for the FL wheel is assigned to the Rl wheel and vice versa checked my blueprint and it seems to look right any tips
hi dear friend, today I encountered a problem after I rigged a car completely in UE5. The car’s suspension system works in reverse and when it is placed on a bumpy surface; Instead of going up, the tires go down or even go under the ground, I would appreciate it if you could help me
Everythings good for me here bro ive done u til 20:00 ...but im using a diffrent car with diffrent orientations still managed upto wheel trace but my car is going inside the road instead of going up.😅
I'm having issues with the rig once i convert it into a control module. when it's a control rig it works fine.... I have both controls in the sequencer but the rig module still refuses to move, but it works in the rig module viewport. anyone figure out how to make this thing work? btw I'm using 5.42
@@postprocessed Thanks I didn't realize you're not supposed to place the rig module in the scene. it does nothing.. but instead make a modular rig and then you can interact with that.
Great job! I think 5.4.2 still has some issues. It will stop working, I'll need to recompile, or drop it again into the project.. then it will work again. I was able to apply it to the helicopter using your wheel rotation solve: One controller (RotorSpeed) connected to main and tail rotors (which are different axes). The bake transform refuses to work for the helicopter. Hopefully they fix these glitches.
I think it only works when you have Sequencer open, it doesn't work when there is no open sequence, as control rigs are active only during animation. Maybe that could also be an issue. I also like how people are getting creative :) I am talking about cars and you applied to HELICOPTER!
Really awesome, any idea why I'm not seing updates in editor (even in play mode) yet all works fine in the ControlRig preview if I test the controls there?
the suspension bounces up like its supposed to but then it goes back down clipping into the object. it only happens when I put the modular control rig on a another car
I think that is happening because of the wheel radius , it might vary for another car, in the wheel trace function, change the radius size according to the car you want to work. For the mustang, radius 70 not worked for me , radius 42.5 worked perfectly.
at 28:32 When i move the body control nothing happens! I'm stuck so sad Edit: Found the solution. On your green Get transform node change the type from bone to control, its easy to miss!
Hey 👋, I've made a rig from the "caliper for car rig in ue5" video I've used "UE4 vehical base rigging" plugin in blender for creating my rig Problem is Body bone in not showing in rig hierarchy in Unreal and I've checked in the caliper video your rig didn't had it either, so how can I get the body bone??

@@maxpayne4118 you can duplicate bone just like a caliper one, but duplicate the bone connect to root, and assign the body to this bone (vertex group) as Blender addon doest create body bone :/
worked on the mustang but after applying rig to a Ferrari I got from cgtrader (and rigged according to your previous video) the body and tires are no longer aligned. experimental features suck. gonna try and find a work around.
Loving the tutorials but i'm still not seeing any control updates in editor. I see you said have sequencer open, i must be doing something wrong as i still do not see updates.. EDIT: I've figured it out, thanks anyway 😅
@@postprocessed At first i didn't link up to a execute node properly but it was mainly the Skeleton that you provided was basically void in my scene. Odd. So I had to 'create skeleton' again which basically recreated what you already had. Was rather confused but it all worked in the end. I do have a separate issue though, i've created everything but when i put a mesh under the front suspension, the whole front body lifts up.. lifting up the opposite front wheel. This doesn't happen in yours and i'm lost as to why? Any help? Thanks again, really awesome tutorials from you buddy!
This video is awesome. I have some small questions, please help me. According to the video operation, the body controller cannot add tilt to the car body. When the body controller is rotated, the whole car rotates including the wheels. I don’t know what the problem is. Please help me. Many thanks!
@@postprocessed All functions are now available. Is it because the wheels are giving real-time feedback to the body shaking, so the blue 4-arrow controller on the body cannot adjust the left and right tilt of the body? Now according to the video operation, the controller of the car body cannot adjust the tilt of the car body. Please help me take a look. Thanks.

For the materials, I created a project in UE5.1 and have been manually copying the files over to project files of later versions of UE coz they seemingly ended support for it and are ignoring it lol. They work in newer versions, but can't be added to projects the official way.
Setting up the control arrows and when I press compile the arrow reset to the default position really small and under the car. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hey Man! Thanks for the tutorial! I am having a little issue though, right out of the gate. Right around 3:00. I have the Control and the Offset hooked up like in the video. But, my car doesn't move like yours. It seems like when I try to rotate the gizmo is actually rotates the gizmo. I looks, "wonky". I let go of the mouse and it goes back to right side up. Any pointers?

Today, I created again in different project as you said. But it won’t move😢
→Sorry, I could figure it out now. If we switch to modular control, our original control rig (I mean Mustang) doesn’t work. Though, the model which we apply the car rig module can move properly.
So, we can use except original control rig.
Fantastic thanks, what would be your recommendation to start with Control Rigs in unreal?
would you say this is better than the “cinematic car rig” by Madgoat Studio or no?
dude hahahah no, we with madgoat invested so much time into CCR to be perfect.
this is just free rig suitable for cinematics, if you are starting with Unreal just to understand if you want to make car renders there or no.
basically: CCR is the GOAT.
This rig is quite simple just to have people covered who are not sure if they gonna stick to UE and don't want to spend money on assets at the beginning
TY darkkera it worked
Question - Lets say we have a car created from a design we created, How should the suspension look so it will be easy to rig?
Thank you so much for the lesson!)
for some reason wih my car module it worked fine up until i created a modular rig then it changed my hierarchy and gave me a spawn bone in the construction event and added the root to the bottom UNDER the control space. I removed the control and added mine back in and it works but i don't think I can use it modularly now. Any tips anyone?

Hello, the tire tread texture don't want to be in the good direction, and i can't find this in the texture settings, can you explain me where i can change the rotation of theses particular textures!
Thanks
Thank you so much for creating such a high-quality tutorial!
but I have a problem, Can I ask a question..?
When I rotate the body controller, the wheels and body rotate at the same time.
I've been watching the video again and again, but I don't know where I went wrong.
Check that body control transform has “propagate to children” disabled, but the thing is that “Body” is rotating root bone in the very end of the graph, which affects everything.
What can be a workaround:
Create NEW body controller connect it to Body bone in the end.
OR create NEW body controller and unfolt rotation and translation pin, connect it with ADD node to “body dummy center” which sets the body bone (pre-last “Set Bone”) node.
That will be values from new controller you made to body suspension fucntion
@@postprocessed Thank you for your kind reply.
But your advice is difficult to understand at my level. I've just started studying Unreal.
I tried rebuilding the control rig again, but found that the problem reoccurred after producing the part of the video starting at 26:25.
I isolated that part and connected the first sequence node and the body offset node and it worked fine.
But it's okay. It's already good enough, but I'm going to try using it without that feature.
Thank you for your time. have a good day!
Hi thank for this amazing tutorial .
Did have any Chance to add soundFX? Have any website or method to get car sound ?
hey man! I get some samples from artlist.io for sounds and also... Using one funny trick... I run Forza Horizon 5 and record car driving sound... :D not perfect solution, but well.. That's ain't stupid if it works!
Why in My Ue Nothing is Working even the starting step when we get the body control and Add Offset there is no body rotation i dont know how every one is saying its working if you know how to fix please let me know

The rig itself works fantastically until I leave Unreal. I can't use it in animation sequences though. Every time I restart Unreal the rig requires a recompile, and even if I save the animation sequence on the time line it "forgets" everything I have done every single time and I have to drag in another copy of the rig and start over. :(
Amazing tutorial, Thank you very much for sharing this gem! I just encountered an issue that I don't know how to resolve. After switching to the Rig Module, the physics aren't working in the editor. Additionally, when I attach the rail, the car's physics don't work. Have you experienced something like that?
Did you try it with open sequencer? It only works when sequencer is open and object is added in sequencer
@@postprocessed This sounds very very much like what I am experiencing!! PLEASE HELP!
@@Void_rift_disconnect keep it as control rig (not module) create empty level. Create level sequence. add control rig and rail to the sequencer. Test out the rig. It works just fine for me. tested on multiple cars.
Hi, great video. I have a question: can this be applied to a tank, for example?
ooooof not sure... I think it is better to check UE marketplace assets for that. I never tried to rig a tank :(
You can use some of the techniques from here to offset the wheels but for animating the track ok the tank it's another story, i've seen that the best way is to animate the material of the tank tracks
27:59 i dont know what hpned, but, my car turned 180 degree and i dont have caliber bones in the first place, so i gave bone connection to constrains, my model is diffrent
Is there a ready rig I can download/buy 😀
Hello, great tutorial! What happens if I need to apply this to a car that has the "body bone" inside root bone, same as the old tutorial on this matter? Is it possible to do it that way?
I just followed your other tutorial to get my model updated :) th-cam.com/video/W--lEovSOoE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PostProcessed
yes, you just need to add body bone I have a tut here how to edit bones for skeletal mesh inside UE:

My wheels turn fine when I move the steering controller, but when I add in the wheel rotation, the wheels spin on multiple axes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I double-checked everything twice, but still can't find how to fix that.
switching to rig module made my rig unresponsive.. any idea where I went wrong?
do you have sequencer open and the rig added to the sequencer? It only works when it is in cinematic sequence
@@postprocessed I have the same problem too, The Steering wheel and suspension not responsive
same issue
Could you make a tutorial on how to control the rig using player controller ?
ah, well, I think there are plenty of videos about it - it's called Chaos Vehicle. And you can use same skeleton for that, or you want me to do the tutorial about it? :)
@@postprocessedtutorial pls
@@postprocessed Yes Please :D
I created 10 times and still have problem only for me not working this tutorial?
@postprocessed is it possible to have the car wheels rotate automatically based on the x-axis position of the car? This feature will elevate this car rig setup. The current wheel spin control can then be used to add extra spin for animating drifts and power slides etc
I am currently checking this, because I believe control rig can not feed rig world position and transform that to local space for wheel rotation. I am not very fond of control rigs as they seem to be quite limited compared to blueprints
@@postprocessed Thanks for the reply! Hopefully, it's possible to get this working.
I am currently trying to get the car to tilt during drifting, so I re-enabled the body control. For some reason, the control rotates the entire car and not the body alone. I know you disconnected the body control because of the auto-suspension. I can't figure out why the control is affecting the entire car after the full rig is complete but it wasn't doing this at the start of the process.
How do you make the steering wheel rotate with the front wheels
Is it possible to make it drivable like playing a game then ? 🤔
@@charithevfx yeah, check “Chaos Vehicle” tutorials, they use same bone structure so it is possible to make it drivable, and use rig only for cinematics 👍
@@postprocessed I tried chaos vehicles plugin with following tutors instructions carefully but the car isnt move and wheels go below the ground. i was searching for the issue and no solution found. now i am fedup with unreal chaos. please help me to find a solution if you can
think thats all i need for now thx :)
Hey quick question... This can and should be used for a game correct?? or Is it more for the animation and cinematics?
this is for cinematic and animation BUT! Bone structure is the same as chaos vehicle, so you can use same MESH with same skeleton, so you can do for example "in game" cinematics with rig and than make also a playable car with same mesh on Chaos Vehicle plugin.
Hi! Very cool tutorial! But i have a question: How i can export all of car's animations into the Maya? Because car position transform by rail slider not baking like animation :(
Hey it actually bakes spline rail transform, when selecting bake in new window select ALL KEYFRAMES. I did it in my tutorial about VDB
@@postprocessed Thank you! I watched VDB tutorial. You seem to be using keyframe animation to rotate the vehicle. I didn't see a rail spline there. I couldn't bake body animation that is driven by the Distance Traveled slider :(
@@MrKowkin ah you are using different rig, not the one from the video. But yes anyway you can animate rotation with transform and connect camera rig rail instead of spline. so that's how I do that most of the time
I come to the end of the tuto, the car work well, the step inside the wheels are ok, and then i come to the animation with control rig and animate, put camera, and the wheel don't want to spin, the controls arrow don't want to be use inside the map level.... Help .....
Thanks for the nice tuto tho!
@@NicolasBallester i think they only appear when you have sequencer open… otherwise if it is just in the scene they are not, otherwise should work fine, but I am also preparing and update for this rig and new video and will share project file with few cars

I was having issue with the front of my tire, they beocme all wobby when accelerate, but the problem is this only occur to the front tire and not the back. is there any fix tot his?
I don't understand why I can't see my controller arrows. Each one is checked 'visible' and is scaled up. I've moved them to the same positions as you did.
I can't get it to work. At 34:30 you show very important steps but do things extremely quick. I have to view it at quarter speed. When i do exactly what i can see you do, the rig controls are not showing and the car height variables do nothing. Any suggestions?
This has me stumped... I get to 30:36 and everything is working perfectly except the cube passes right through the front tires instead of them responding to the height difference.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
i seem to be having an issue where the collision detection for the FL wheel is assigned to the Rl wheel and vice versa checked my blueprint and it seems to look right any tips
do you know what is the snap to ground key for Mac since there is not the END key?

great thankksss 🙌
hi dear friend, today I encountered a problem after I rigged a car completely in UE5. The car’s suspension system works in reverse and when it is placed on a bumpy surface; Instead of going up, the tires go down or even go under the ground, I would appreciate it if you could help me
Does this one click generator thingy comes with the course? (Automotive Master Class)
With the course comes something much better and easier + full working suspension rig
@@postprocessed Cool, thanks! 🙏🏼
Everythings good for me here bro ive done u til 20:00 ...but im using a diffrent car with diffrent orientations still managed upto wheel trace but my car is going inside the road instead of going up.😅
probably orientation matters in that case... You can re-orient your car in blender for example. Should always be X forward
I'm having issues with the rig once i convert it into a control module. when it's a control rig it works fine.... I have both controls in the sequencer but the rig module still refuses to move, but it works in the rig module viewport. anyone figure out how to make this thing work? btw I'm using 5.42
Hey! all rig functions only work when sequencer is open - so make sure you have sequencer open and car added to the sequence!
@@postprocessed Thanks I didn't realize you're not supposed to place the rig module in the scene. it does nothing.. but instead make a modular rig and then you can interact with that.
Hi, could you please also make a tutorial how to crash into other cars. destructive vehicles?
Great job! I think 5.4.2 still has some issues. It will stop working, I'll need to recompile, or drop it again into the project.. then it will work again. I was able to apply it to the helicopter using your wheel rotation solve: One controller (RotorSpeed) connected to main and tail rotors (which are different axes). The bake transform refuses to work for the helicopter. Hopefully they fix these glitches.
I think it only works when you have Sequencer open, it doesn't work when there is no open sequence, as control rigs are active only during animation. Maybe that could also be an issue. I also like how people are getting creative :) I am talking about cars and you applied to HELICOPTER!
so if you want the car to jump, or stunt... just moving up the camera rail would work?
Correct, or making invisible jump ramp which will be hidden in game
Really awesome, any idea why I'm not seing updates in editor (even in play mode) yet all works fine in the ControlRig preview if I test the controls there?
You should have it in sequencer and have sequencer open, when you close sequencer it will be static
@@postprocessed That was it thanks a lot, I'm going to try to control it from AnimBP now to push it more
could you please explain how to do it with another car mesh? what is the preparation needed?
@@helloworld77771 you can check it here for example if you want to prepare car in blender:
th-cam.com/video/zlMAEfDvJUg/w-d-xo.html
the suspension bounces up like its supposed to but then it goes back down clipping into the object. it only happens when I put the modular control rig on a another car
I think that is happening because of the wheel radius , it might vary for another car, in the wheel trace function, change the radius size according to the car you want to work. For the mustang, radius 70 not worked for me , radius 42.5 worked perfectly.
@@Vedkad Ah ok, That makes sense. Thank You!

damn :( do you have a link for that model? Also wanna try it
Loving the tutorials but i'm still not seeing any control updates in editor. I see you said have sequencer open, i must be doing something wrong as i still do not see updates..
EDIT: I've figured it out, thanks anyway 😅
so what was the issue) I am interested
@@postprocessed At first i didn't link up to a execute node properly but it was mainly the Skeleton that you provided was basically void in my scene. Odd. So I had to 'create skeleton' again which basically recreated what you already had. Was rather confused but it all worked in the end.
I do have a separate issue though, i've created everything but when i put a mesh under the front suspension, the whole front body lifts up.. lifting up the opposite front wheel. This doesn't happen in yours and i'm lost as to why?
Any help? Thanks again, really awesome tutorials from you buddy!
nice one🙏
This video is awesome. I have some small questions, please help me. According to the video operation, the body controller cannot add tilt to the car body. When the body controller is rotated, the whole car rotates including the wheels. I don’t know what the problem is. Please help me. Many thanks!
Pla check pinned comment, looks like it is the issue
@@postprocessed All functions are now available. Is it because the wheels are giving real-time feedback to the body shaking, so the blue 4-arrow controller on the body cannot adjust the left and right tilt of the body? Now according to the video operation, the controller of the car body cannot adjust the tilt of the car body. Please help me take a look. Thanks.

Hey mate👋
After clicking "switch to rig module" the car rig works perfectly in the blueprint tab preview window, but doesn't work in the viewport.
On switching to "standalone rig" the car rig starts working in the viewport as well
Can you give me something with this information 😅
I've also encountered this issue, it even happened when I was called to the stage. I went to bed and woke up with this problem. Were you able to fix it?
Pretty sure I am stuck here... Messing around and trying to solve the issue...
So yes...Switching to "standalone rig" makes it all work again... What does this mean?? Does this mean that we cannot use the rig module we made on a new car? I am exhausted from trying to solve this. I literally followed this from scratch three times so far...
Bro is bascially car mechanic 😆😆 (Of unreal negine ofc, since he makes such complex vehicle related videos simple). Hey next time maybee vehicle destruction or something?? hehe. The Matrix vehicle destruction physics has so many loopholes thats why asking you :((
How do i set the limit so it doesnt go inside the car ...I played with all the variables but it doesnt work

i copied car rig folder to contect folder of my ue project but its not showing nothing.
Fixed: After restarting UE it's showing now
Having issues with this as well. Restarting didn’t solve anything. Put it I. Content folder and can’t import the .uasset files either
hi @postprocessed. sorry, but one more question. can you show how to use this rig for other cars? it seems like i can only use it for the mustang? also the materials don t work on 5.4. i appreciate your help. thx
For the materials, I created a project in UE5.1 and have been manually copying the files over to project files of later versions of UE coz they seemingly ended support for it and are ignoring it lol. They work in newer versions, but can't be added to projects the official way.
Setting up the control arrows and when I press compile the arrow reset to the default position really small and under the car. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hey Man! Thanks for the tutorial! I am having a little issue though, right out of the gate. Right around 3:00. I have the Control and the Offset hooked up like in the video. But, my car doesn't move like yours.
It seems like when I try to rotate the gizmo is actually rotates the gizmo. I looks, "wonky". I let go of the mouse and it goes back to right side up.
Any pointers?
Did you use the mesh which I shared and you downloaded it? If so - check pinned comment - sometimes you need to assign skeleton on the mesh
