Description
Hello my name is Anton vd Haterd
This is my blender3d made VW-Beetle version 1.0
I remodelled my vw-beetle and made it usable for animation
also rigged the doors and hood.
For car painting I used Cycles.
The vw-beetle is rigged with suspension and shock absorver movement.
Of course there is still room for improvement
Feel free to criticize and download
the vw-beetle for if you like to use in an animation.
greetings,

Nice job, I like the way you rigged the suspension. There is a slight problem when I rotate the ground plane on the X-axis -20 degrees. The front of the car falls through and the front wheels cone out of alignment with the body. But for driving on a flat surface, wonderful!
For animation you have to make holes or bumps in the plane called floor and then let the car follow a path. You can test it by select and then hit (G) the big yellow arrow. I am making some test movies right now to show it works.

So awesome, thanks!
Brilliant! I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a long time. Thank you for this awesome model.
This is one of the better Beetle models I've seen, but since you invited criticizms, I will say it looks a little more like a small scale model or toy version than a realistic car. Things like the window trim being extra thick around the front and back windows, or the bulbous front turn signals, just make it look like a plastic model kit version. Not a problem unless you were going for 100% realism. There's also less of a point in having the hood raise if the inside isn't modeled, but maybe you're still working on those parts. It's still better than most I've looked at.
impressive rig, thanks for sharing
what a rig! And a great model! Thank you!
Thanks for the positive comments will include them in version 2.0. The vw beetle is made for a toonish style animation.
+antonvdh Could you walk me threw the basics of your suspension rig? Trying to figure out how it works and not having much luck. Frankly I'm baffled.. :) I don't see any drivers or scripts? How did you do that? :)
etoven I send you a message. Hope it works.

Nice rig Anton! I'm just having a play with it now. Do you think it will be pretty straight forward to swap out the Beetle for another car?
