Tutorial: Jumping the Tower Bridge in Blender // Launch Control [Intermediate]

Check it out on BlenderMarket ► blendermarket.com/products/la...
or GumRoad ► danielvesterbaek.gumroad.com/...
In this [intermediate level] video, we go over how to animate cars in Blender using the add-on "Launch Control". We will be making a mini-cooper jump the Tower Bridge in London!! So strap in and let's get started!
Also.. Yes, sorry.. For some reason this Mini has RWD... I mean, it's a very modified Mini, m'kay? ^^
Also, also, at 12:05 I wasn't meaning to say "Spin the wheels the same way", but rather "Spin the wheels the same amount..".
About Launch Control (LC) ►
If you want to make realistic-looking car animations in Blender in no time, LC is the tool for you!
It's built around 3 different parts of the process:
1. Automatic Rigging (One-Click Rigging of 4-wheeled cars)
2. Animation with presets for quick results
3. Physics simulations that bake fast and can be modified in real-time
LC strives to make vehicle animation accessible and eliminates the usual problems you stumble over, when turning your action-sequence dreams into reality (a virtual reality, that is).
The simple interface packs a ton of power and in the "Manual Gearbox" you have a world of customization options to tune LC to your liking.

Just ran into a jump for my short - good overview while also sharing the controls. Thank you!

[@davidschaefer83]

Super sick! Wonderful result and great car choice 😁

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hehehe, thank you!! ^^ Even though rear wheel wheel-spin doesn't make sense for a mini, hahah. But hey, wanted to show how to do it

[@davidschaefer83]

@@DanielVesterbaek That's fair hahaha

[@MJ12GRAVITON]

Super Cool!

[@EROSNERdesign]

WOW! I love the speed indicator!!!

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Thanks!! I really enjoy animating with that too. It makes it much easier to get the animation right

[@TheMainMan903]

WOW!! Wish this was for Cinema 4D!

[@blendershots]

Yes....i was ending up with deleting all the car animation whenever trying to do manual minor adjustments...... This addon seems to be lifesaver

[@rezkdesign4945]

we neeeeed more you are king

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Heheh, will be happy to show more fun stuff with LC! Thaaanks!

[@stefanguiton]

Awesome

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Thank you Stefan!!

[@degibocu]

i would like if you developt another way to fix the jump no ground detection problem, inside the addon...

Amazing I like your work.💗

Thank you so much!! 😊❤️

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hehehe, was in London for new years and couldn't stop thinking about how it would be to jump the Tower Bridge - Now we will know :D

[@radeongamer8558]

why i am hearing you only in left ear LOL . great tutorial 😄

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Oh noooo! The sound is messed up? Sorry about that. :'(

[@radeongamer8558]

@@DanielVesterbaek no worries 😄

[@DanielVesterbaek]

@@radeongamer8558 I should get myself better speakers for editing. Have a 3090 GPU for rendering, but a bluetooth JBL for sound xD

[@DanielVesterbaek]

@@Sidowse Yeeeah, I had just totally missed that I didn't set the track to mono inside resolve so it would split it between both sides. man, it's so dumb I already linked people to the video, so that's why I don't want to re-upload.

[@pinywood3077]

turning on mono audio should fix that

[@RomboutVersluijs]

To bad you disnt dhow the path after your rumbling haitiace, i giess lots of viewers are wondering how you added that soft swirl when it landed. Is that just simply done by adding a soft curve to the guide path?

[@user-pi9sr8gl4q]

Why can't I click recalculate path?

[@tomaslineker5951]

Thanks for the add on its awesome. is there any guidance on snapping the control points to the throat? 4:20 minutes in it starts and is rushed over, i cant make out the controls to press, and i cant find the actions in blender, my path wont follow the ramp. thanks again for this awesome add on

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hey man! Thank you so much for the kind words about the add-on! So happy you like it. Yes! Sorry about that - I forgot to say that I always have my "snapping options" in the top of the 3D view set to "Face". Then even when the "Magnet icon" is turned off, you can press CTRL and it will snap the points to you are moving to the closes face. :) Let me know if you can get that to work

[@tomaslineker5951]

thanks so much for the reply and help @@DanielVesterbaek

[@prezent1979]

awsome! Also, where did you get that Tower Bridge model?

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hmm, I don't remember actually :/ I bought it on Sketchfab, I think, but I had to remodel a lot of things

[@andreybagrichuk5365]

Daniel, so nice stuff. Jus love it! But tell me please, why your voice in this video recorded to one channal(mono) and music 0.31 is Stereo ? Hope your sound card is ok and nothing happend to it

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hehehe, yeah.. sorry about that 😅 I had messed up the channel settings inside my video editor, so it exported with one channel muted.. I didn't realise. In the latest video the mistake has been fixed, but sadly it's not possible to update these things in KZbin videos without removing the video entirely :(

[@andreybagrichuk5365]

@@DanielVesterbaek nice to know that Your mashine goes well and it's fixable issue 😁

[@toapyandfriends]

Yeah when you put it on blender market you should make it look as nice as transportation or traffiq....cuz this is cool! 😎

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Yeah, man!! It's up on BlenderMarket soon! ^^ It's still pending a review in there, so that's why it is only one Gumroad right now.

[@sahdsalmi3935]

can we do slo mo with this addon!!

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hey man! Thanks for the question! I would recommend you to animate in slow motion to make that. You can also use the "Time remapping" in Blender after simulating the physics - It won't be super accurate as the physics only bake for each "original frame" and the physics calculations would be interpolated, but it does a decent job. :D

Could you do a motorcycle with this?

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Sadly not, Launch Control in its current state only works with 4 wheeled cars, but I would be super happy to expand it in the future 😄

[@clemensklosterer1342]

arent mini coopers front wheel drive?

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Heheh, yes... They absolutely are ^^ Another guy also pointed that out

[@castelos_way]

can you please make another video for beginner on how to speed it up??? I can't understand you on this one. Even if I lower the speed, you are going way tooo fast, please understand not all of us are knowledgeable. I bought the add-on and I want to be able to use it. Thank you

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hi there!! I am really sorry this tutorial might have been too fast. The following ones I made are slower paced to make it easier to follow along. Tonight I uploaded a new tutorial showing exactly how to animate the speed - I think that is what you are looking for. Hope it will be useful. 😊

[@ompansare4516]

noice tutorial but whats whith the sound💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DanielVesterbaek]

Hahah, yeeeeah... Sorry about that man!! -_- I messed up the export settings for the audio 🤣
