Anticipation, Action and Reaction
Yellow Beetle Rig
The Beetle rig, snappily titled ""Swappable Car Rig with Ubershockies - The AnyCar 3.1.4 for Maya" is a great way to get some fun, cartoony vehicle animation into your demo reel. The AnyCar can be made to squash and stretch, and you can make it bounce and sway as it chugs along. The Beetle can be made to have a personality all of its own. If you can't download the AnyCar, you can replicate the tutorial with any cartoony vehicle.

Work Method
Animate a Yellow Beetle with Motion Blur |
- Download the AnyCar vehicle rig.
- Open Autodesk Maya, create a new project, name it, set to it, and save it.
- Copy the AnyCar vehicle into the Maya scenes folder and import it into your shot.
- Download a copy of the free Cartoonland set from Turbosquid, copy that to your scenes folder, and import that into your shot.
- Set your timeline from frame 101 to 137.
- Set a keyframe on the car at frame 101 and another at frame 125 so that the car gets into an anticipation pose, as if it is about the exit stage right.
- Add a vibration in the vehicle as it is about to leave.
- Now move the car off screen at frame 126.
- At frame 126, create a long yellow tube, to simulate a "smear" drawing.
- At frame 127, move the tube to the right.
- At frame 128, remove the tube.
- Now animate a short camera shake, to simulate the air pressure from the vehicle on the camera operator.
