3DS Max: Rig a tractor trailer? Please read before commenting

#1

I can’t seem to figure this out. The radius of the back of the trailer is less. There’s a whole weird ordeal.

I do not want to use path constraints.

I thought maybe it could work like a piston with IK solvers but I can’t figure that out either.

The only thing I can think of is using MassFX but that would be out of the question as I have no idea the proper ways to rig things to work in Physics.

Thanks for the suggestions and we aren’t shy to buy a rig if we have to.

I remember seeing a car and trailer rigging system for sales on Paul Neale’s website which isn’t listed there anymore. After a bit of digging I found the webpage: http://paulneale.com/technical/carRig-NOTFORSALE/mxDriver02.html, you should contact him to find out if he still sells it.

I emailed Paul and this tool is no longer for sale for some reason.
