Why You Need This

• If you are a cinematic artist and tired of using physical-based systems, hear me out. I know the deal. We need to set up our bikes, hit play, ride them, record them, and then play back in our sequencer and render, right?
• To keep the balance of the bike, we try all kinds of tricks. Some of us take the center of gravity down into the ground and some others use invisible wheels.
• But let me ask you this, are you able to drift with these systems? Like whenever you want? Or do you need to record many takes to get the result you need? How about a wheelie at the right moment?
• If you're thinking about animating in your DCC app, I have some bad news! You're wasting so much time going back and forth between these apps and exporting and importing because you are not in the final environment when animating your bike!
• Now, if you think all of these are painful, Cinematic Bike Rig is a blueprint system designed exclusively for you

What You Will Get

• You can use custom static meshes for the body, wheels, suspension parts, and the steering handle
• Attach anything you want to these components and be able to configure modular or blueprint bike bodies
• Wheels will trace the ground and stick to it
• Wheels automatically rotate based on the forward movement of the bike
• This rig has a spring system without using physics and you can set up dynamic suspension parts
• You can visualize everything in the editor and the sequencer, no simulation is needed
• Wheels trace complex collision and any mesh or actor can be excluded from tracing
• Key-able drift angle with automated chassis leaning
• Key-able body roll and pitch

Spline Path Blueprint

• This system includes a spline path blueprint that the bike can ride on
• Automatic steering along the spline
• Snap spline points to the ground with a click
• Reverse spline path direction with a click
• The bike goes back to the start, if the distance traveled is greater than the length of the spline path
• Close the spline with a click and make a circuit track

Demo Content

• A demo bike mesh and rig have been included in the pack to demonstrate the system capabilities
