Cinema 4D Multi_Tech Tutorial 39: Rigging a Hovercraft

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, we are rigging a hovercraft. To achieve the desired result, we will use a combination of a small amount of Xpresso, along with both Soft and Rigid Bodies, which will be joined together as a single object, via a Connector. To power our hovercraft, we will employ a Wind object. It all works beautifully and the animation is a joy to watch - it demonstrates what is possible with the new Rigid Body dynamics, fantastically!
