Lazy Rigging
one-click setup!
Animate like a BOSS
with neat presets!
Jumps, drifts, donuts, off road, loops or all of the above?
The presets give you a head start no matter what you want your vehicle to do.
Building on top of presets or creating your own path is easy.
Draw or add control points using inside a Bezier or Nurbs curve object to change the animation.
The “Update Driving Path” button will resolve any animation offsets.
Real-Time Physics
Easy and Art Directable!
Take advantage of physics presets or dial in the exact response you are looking for.
Use simulated gravity or opt-out to be even more hands-on with the motion.

“ This is the best rigging solution I have ever worked with. It gives you full control over all aspects you want to be able to control, which makes it an artist's and creative's dream for animating cars. ”
Sven Giera
Artist at Mondlicht Studios
" Launch Control is in my opinion one of the best tools for car animations I have ever used. It has all features you need in a compact format and an easy-to-use interface, giving artists full control over every aspect of their project. "

" Launch Control has become the 'Infinity Gauntlet' of car rigs for us at Plumehead. It's a powerful tool that has not only streamlined our production process but has also expanded our creative possibilities. We're proud to feature LC in our toolkit and equally excited to see how it will continue to evolve and support our vision of creating unparalleled automotive animations. "

" I have tried many programs, tools, or plugins in my career, especially Rigging Tools, but I have to admit that I have rarely, if ever, had a tool that is so easy to use in my automotive process. For me, Launch Control is almost a one-button solution and is super intuitive to use and gives the artist a lot of leeway to influence the simulation.
My personal opinion: I can recommend this tool to everyone with a clear conscience, especially for this price. "
