Craft Trailer adds yet another feature to the highly popular Craft 4-Wheeler Extended. Use it to attach (multiple) trailers to a Craft 4-Wheeler Extended, such as caravans or truck trailers. Craft Trailer is compatible with 3ds Max, VIZ and Maya.

In Depth

Craft Trailer is a passive simulator of a two-wheel trailer. Add more wheels easily with Craft ExtraWheel. Now you can rig any type of trailer in no time! After the dummies have been scaled and aligned to match the real trailer the real parts are simply bound/linked to the corresponding plugin dummies. Then the hook dummy is bound to Craft 4-Wheeler Extended or any animated object making the trailer follow the object.

In order to save time for animators, Craft Trailer is a semi-physical simulator. This means that Craft Trailer can be driven in the scene, in real time, without having to export any information to an external program. Being a semi-physical simulator, Craft Trailer is equipped to yield some fantastic and imaginative features compared to a fully physical simulation. Drive your car up the face of a cliff or upside down in a loop, and Craft Trailer follows along perfectly. The gravitational direction is related to the driving surface and not to any axis of the scene. Surfaces can even be animated during recording. Or why not animate let the trailer morph in shape and size - all Craft Trailer parameters can be altered in real time during recording.
