wheel rig

#1

hi fellas

i am trying to rig few bunch of wheels of a vehicle, i need to get the squash effect of the tire on the ground.

i am trying to use the squash deformer, but then again, as i rotate the wheel, the squashing effect rotates, i need the effect to stick on the ground nomatter how the wheel rotates.

anytips? tricks? help? SHALL BE APPRECIATED :smiley: :beer:

Hey Mehdi,

Waasssuuuppp? Haha. Fancy seeing you here.

Regarding the wheels. You could use a lattice as well, which is constrained to the wheel on the X and Z, so that the lattice doesn’t move up with the wheel.

The scripts can be found at the botton of each page :slight_smile:
