Getting calipers working in Unreal Engine 5 is a tough task, but today it is finally solved. This method should work for any rigged car, and especially easy to achieve if you are using UE Vehicle addon for Blender. Let me know what you think about this process
Bro your process was nice but I actually use Maya advanced skeleton rig if you know about that please can you share
Amazing tutorial.
So realistic results. It’s really impressive!
Thanks a lot!
You're great, made the video this week as promised, and "the trick" is really simple, almost obvious, many many thanks, I'll continue following your channel, you are a really good teacher!
thanks! Appreciate it!
Thanks buddy I watched all 30 videos about Blender and Unreal in almost 1 month I don't know how to thank you You pushed me several levels forward. You are GOAT 🐐 🔥
Great to hear!
Bro you are so underrated!
You saved my day man, keep up this sick stuff!
Very useful and super well explained once again thank you
Finally you made it😍
Thankyou soo much
Your my hero! Thank you so much for making this tutorial
That's great. I've been looking for this solution for a long time. Thank you very much
you are welcome, man!
Lucky me because I found both videos at the same time 😄 thank you bro
You are welcome!
Intro was soooo awesome!
yeah, trying to excite people there:)
This is insane, thank you!
The man! thanks for sharing your secrets!
Thank you brate! best explanations !
The result is amazing
Amazing tutorial. Thank you for the hard work you putting in those. Motivated me to try it myself.
Thanks! Happy to inspire people!

Quick test. There is tons of bugs with the city sample in UE 5.2 such as no parked cars when rendering and etc so I was bit lazy to do more fixing and polishing after some time. You can see in some shots wheels not fitting with the road much for example :D Would be awesome if there was something that could control that with physics like with Blender rigs I used in past
But for 1 day test I am happy with results.
Thanks for showing me this technique. Wish I could do bit better control rig in future for better drifting as I wanna recreate initial D anime :D
@@ezSonix damn, this one looks better than mine 🙄
I am creating rivals 😁
@@postprocessed haha I wish. Your Unreal Engine vs Real Life commercial short was on another level. Definitely aiming at that quality of animations, but still so far😩
Also it was much more easier for me to do, since you made those amazing tutorials, once more thanks for that
Dope as always. Thanks.
Thanks for this information 👍👍
Thank you kind sir 🙌🙌
You look good bro! 👌🏻
Amazing! Thank you! One issue I am having animation the car using a camera Rig (has you showed in your previous video) is that sometimes the wheels are not touching the ground, because my ground is not perfectly flat, its a road on a mountain landscape. Even though I snapped the Camera Rig to the ground I noticed it is not always perfect and the separation of the wheels and the ground vary. DO you have any solution for this? It would be great if we can see a video on how to do that correctly to be able to animate a car on a non-horizontal road. 👍
Nice work! Love the tuts. What is the intro from? A commercial or film?
it is from advertisement of Porsche Curacao and one is my render of Ford Mustang animation
Great tutorial , thanks mate , really appreciated on my learning curve, waiting to see more , btw how you put the charactor in the car and drive?
Hey there! This approach is not for driving, but for animation and rigging. If you want driving setup with Chaos Vehicle, you can look for it on YT, I don't have one unfortunately yet. :(
@@postprocessed Thanks Make ,no problems ,cheers
THANK YOU
Awesome 😮.......
This is so amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. The final piece for me would be a simple drift angle control like the one found in the Launch Control addon for Blender. Any tips on how to make that in Unreal?
I just want you to know that your tutorials are so clear and concise that I was actually able to figure out how to create the drift control that I wanted on my own and it took around 30 minutes. Also, I'm EXTREMELY new to Unreal so I was surprised at how quickly I was able to figure out the solution. Let me know if you want me to show you what I did!
@@bentheremedia3011 Wow that would be amazing if you can share it! I usually just rotate the car on Z axis in sequencer, not making additional rig control for it, but I am curious to find it out! I am surprised that you just figured it out in one hour, great job!
Thank you sir! Amazing video again. I have a question. How should the motion blur settings for wheel rotations be adjusted? I use path tracer, but even though I set the blur value to the highest, I cannot get good results.
Try on render queue in path tracing set checkbox “reference motion blur” maybe it will give better results
Sir thankuu spo much....actually i was trying to do this using chaos vehicle....sir actually i ahve my own car modelled....when i apply texture in unreal engine..i have to disable nanite for windows and glass.....so do i have to generate separate rig for my windows or is there any other strategy for solving this issue..plzz reply...shall be very thankful to u❤
Hey, thank you so much for the amazing tutorial series. We used to work with chaos before and really had our struggles with it. I'm usually a 3DsMax user. However, I couldn't achieve the same result with MAX as you did in Blender with the plugin. It always created 5 skeletal meshes instead of one, I'm not exactly sure what the issue was. Anyway, thanks to your guidance, it worked with Blender as well.
Our car is now divided into several individual meshes (like doors, for example). Should I simply attach them to the main bone using VertexPaint as shown in the Calliper video, or should I create new bones for them?
Thanks a lot, and please keep up your amazing work!
Thanks for feedback!
Yeah, you should create new bones and assign it as vertex paint. Should work same way 👌
Thanks ... I ll try it in the next hour ^^@@postprocessed
Спасибо!
it's a pity you didn't record on the screen what buttons are being pressed. most useful feature for recording video tutorials
Well, now I have something to improve!
Do i have to use bones ?all tutorials i watch they used bones, can i use locators/empty to rig like we usually rig in maya/blener or only bones will work ?
you can do it with "pivots" and locators. but in blueprint. Control Rig works only on bones
you saved my ass
Hello thank you very much for this tutorial, I followed the previous video on the rig, everything works well on steering and rotation. But for the calipers I can't do it. I followed the tutorial but once I got to UE5 after importing, when I checked the bones on the skeleton, the calipers didn't work perfectly.
They are immobile on the rotation when I rotate the wheel (which is cool) but when I play on the direction of the wheel, the caliper is immobile.
Knowing that the child bone is in outline and that the following sentence appears when I move the mouse over it: This bone is used by the current mesh but has no vertices weighed against it
Thanks for your help
EDIT : RESOLVE : I hadn't selected the UVs when I made the groups...
So it all works, right?)
It’s all good ! Thank you again for your work !
i have same problem, but selecting vertexes doesn't help to solve the problem, still in the unreal the bones look inactive.
I full followed the tutorial, but dont have idea how to solve the problem
@@user-zy3lx3pe8h hi !
Do you have exactly the same problem as I had? (The calipers remain fixed on the rotation but did not follow the steering).
Make sure you select the right UV by pressing A on blender.
Also, I didn't use the assign button shown in the tutorial, but went to the menu
vertex - vertex group - assign to active group
@@lucag1812 Thank you for you answer, i just redoo all rig setup and put correct vertex name like names bone, and all work properly, ty ty ty
我太喜欢你的视频了，视频帮助我了很多，之后会出付费教程嘛，我愿意去支付这一笔钱
Hi. I ran into the following problem: I'm making a racing simulator, I tried to animate the calipers according to your guide, but while I'm in Control Rig - the calipers remain in place, do not rotate with the wheel, but as soon as I try to drive a car - the calipers continue to rotate with the wheel. Can you tell me where to look for an error? I will also say that Control Rig is associated with Anim Blueprint, if that makes any difference.
Hey if you are using Chaos Vehicle here is a perfect tutorial for it:
ruclips.net/video/Gs4hpd4R8NA/видео.html
It is done via animation blueprint and I use this approach for calipers in drivable chaos vehicle.
Cheers!
@@postprocessed That is, the option via Control Rig is not suitable for a controlled car, and this method is only suitable for cinematic animation? It's sad( Through Control Rig, the machine animates so beautifully.
@@kein_engel_zlat control rig works separately from Chaos Vehicle blueprint. It is just different approach. The video I shared WILL work for car simulation gameplay. And is probably what you are looking for. My control rig is approach that I am showing in the video is only suitable for cinematics
@@postprocessed Thank you very much, I will study that video now.
Hey man,I follow your tutorial on making a car rig but now I have an issue where the vehicle is invisible when rendering with path tracing, check everything and everything regarding ray tracing is enabled. its perfectly visable in the editor window and renders with lumen just fine. been trying things for several days and nothing works. If I turn on "Render as Static" it showns up but then my animations from the control rig doesnt work.
Hey there, I was thinking about possible options, but I did already multiple animations. and all worked fine. Please check if you have your car transform position key framed at 0 0 0 if it is attached to rail. If it is not - it may be somewhere far far away during render. If that doesn't work check these threads for possible solutions:

forums.unrealengine.com/t/skeletal-mesh-not-showing-in-animation-sequence-created-from-control-rig/483912
@@postprocessed I will try again soon, but the weird thing is that you can almost see it, when the image is denoised the place where the car is suppsed to be at isnt denoised as good so you almost see like a shimmering outline. almost like a ghost
@@anthonyknight170 do you use CAD model? With very high poly? is it Path Tracing you are using?
@@postprocessed yeah it was a CAD model with roughly 6m polygons, converted in blender and then exported as fbx to UE
And yeah I’m trying to render it in path tracing. Works fine in lumen
@@anthonyknight170 haha! Welcome to my thread on epic games forum! 😂
It got solved there

are you going to do more unrecord vids?
I think I pretty much done with Unrecord. It was just a breakdown to proof that it is possible to do. A have developed also vignette and camera shakes and share project file. So I believe no more stuff about Unrecord
Can you do a tutorial for drift smoke pls
I think I can
Hey @post processed.. i have a question, it worket perfectly, i did it the same way.. the thing is. i also want to apply it to my Animation blueprint.. it doesnt work because in the tutorials for that one, the bones of the calipers where parentet to the body and not the wheels.. im confused.. tried 1000 different variations..
You want to use that for chaos vehicle?
@@postprocessed i want to be able to use it as chaos vehicle, but also as controlrig.. i managed it with another car but whitout calipers.. on this car now.. the calipers are taking my soul when i try to apply them on the animation blueprint.. the only difference i see between the tutorials are that my wheels are parented to the calipers, and in the tutorials they parented the calipers to the body of the car.
@@TheFLYHiGHx probably you are doing it other way in animation blueprint. I use same bone structure for my other project and it works. I will show you node tree, let me get up from bed and run PC, I will upload image somewhere
@@postprocessed I really didn't mean to disturb, I'm sorry.
If you would do that it would be a huge help to me, I really appreciate it
@@TheFLYHiGHx here you go, lad ibb.co/cJkWXD9
FL, FR, RR, RL - are Front Left wheel one and etc. CRR, CRL, CRL - caliper bone name. Caliper bones are connected to wheel bones
Hi , can you make a tutorial of this setup with 3dsmax.
Hey! Sorry I don’t use 3dsmax :( And never worked in it
@@postprocessed No Problem..Thanks for replying.:)
Hey I really look for a car animation tutorial going through the steps on making the sequence, animating and then exporting
Gotcha, but it is quite simple. Just attach skeletal mesh to rail, open sequencer, add rail and skeletal mesh to the sequencer. Add track for Control Rig for car and add track for Camera Rig Rail. Pretty much that's it
@@postprocessed Yes, but I want to see your path tracing/lumen lighting and your export settings as well as what you do to make it so cinemtatic. Also the colour grading you do.
@@princerooni ok, will be a video then)
Hello, wheel shaking when moving, how to deal with。please
Make sure that your model doesn’t have camber on wheel. Most of models have it, fix it in blender, so it doesn’t lean on side
Thank you very much, brother.@@postprocessed But the window is broken.
Is the intro video done by you?!
Not all of it, partly. I have previously worked as video editor, so I have experience in video edits)
I used combination of porsche commercials, my renders/overlays and sound design. So I can say “edited by me” 😁
@@postprocessed Nice, that clip is top notch. Did you have time to create your Discord yet? :)
@@ninjagraphics1 Nope still don't have Discord, as I have 9 to 5 job and mostly doing my videos on weekends/evenings after work I am afraid I will not be able to contribute more time for Discord. Maybe if one day RUclips brings me enough money to pay my Bills, I will dedicate more time to subscribers and Discord server
Please make motorbikes animation of ktm duke and kawasaki....
oh dude, that is kind of the same logic. But more hardcore is you need Character Sitting on the bike... Do you have any bike model to share?
@@postprocessed yes please make Duke 200 CC bike animation video please...
And how to make it work unreal engine 5
hey bro, my tire is moving but my wheels are not rotating
hey! that means in blender was selected not proper geometry, you need to merge tire with wheel
@@postprocessed yes i checked, i merged the tile also my normal were all wrong. But it worked out.
Could you please tell me the model of your microphone?
