that’s fairly complex animation. If you’re new to character animation then it may be very difficult. If it were possible, I would suggest hiding it in some way, so have the car enter the pit lane and cut to something that infers what’s happening, like a pit clock or something.

I am eager to do, so can you please tell me how can I do it ?

well, where to start?! You will have to rig your character/ pit crew, weight paint, then animate the controllers. Then use various constraints to have the tools and wheels move with characters. I can’t give you a step-by-step, it’s a large topic. I’ve been doing various small-scale character stuff for 15years and I’m still very average at it! The character object/ auto-rig in c4d will help a lot. But it’s down to your talent as an animator.

Thank you so much, yeah I can use constraint tag perfectly and attach objects to hands, but my big problem is crew runs to the wheel side and sit on the ground and hands movements ( the body animation is my big problem ) but for attaching wheels and changing them I can do it without a problem.

reference is vital. Get a camera and film yourself doing the movements you want then use that to help you animate. Identify the key poses and block it out

Thank you a lot, this really helped so much. Great idea. Really appreciate it Andy 🙂
