    Hi everybody!
    For a school project i’ve found a video on youtube about rigging a car in Cinema 4d, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HydWCcdspgE I have followed all the passages with the same car of the video, but I have a problem whit the angles of the connectors.
    This is my “project”: (I don’t know very well cinema 4d, it’s my first project)

    I need the green car to follow the black arrow, I’ve input the connector’s angles at 40°, and in 0° after she go out, but she doesn’t go straight but she continues to turn and before the grey car she go back in reverse.. Have you an idea on how can I fix this? Are there some general technics that I can use for the others cars?

    Thank you so much in advance, and sorry for my English, I’m Italian and I’m studying in France.

    I can’t really tell what’s wrong without seeing the scene file, unfortunately.

    You might want to check out the free Magic Car plugin by Nitroman. I believe it’s just a sort of autorigger using Cinema’s dynamics system. You can get it here, or check out the video tutorial: https://nitro4d.com/product/magic-car/
