Launch Control is a vehicle rigging and animation tool, supercharged with powerful features to bring all your creative ideas to life.
One-Click Rigging
Procedural Animation
Real-Time Physics
Industry Ready
Art-Direct with ease
Enables Fast Iterations with Ultimate Control
3, 2, 1 – Launch!
Using tags, Launch Control detects the wheels, body and brakes and creates an adjustable rig. Helpful pop-ups will guide you through the tagging process if needed.
Have the full overview
Jumps, drifts, donuts, off road, loops or all of the above? The Animation Presets give you a head start no matter what you want. If you want something custom, draw your own Driving Path and get racing.
Take advantage of physics presets or dial in the exact response you are looking for. Use simulated gravity or opt-out to be even more hands-on with the motion.

Vehicle Gallery
Get started quickly by picking one of the vehicles from the Gallery. You can easily add more vehicles to the Gallery thanks to the .lcl files.
Local Vehicle
Use the Quick Tag Tool, to tag the Body and Wheels of the vehicle and easily rig any model. For CAD datasets, use the CAD Data Setup tool.
Append/Link Vehicle
You can append rigged LC vehicles from another Blender Scene Files. With Launch Control Pro, you can also Link Vehicles and use Library Overrides.
Camber/Caster
The Rig comes with realistic camber and caster settings, ensuring Authentic Performance out of the box. Easily Customize these parameters in the UI.
Automatic Suspension
The rig features built-in Suspension logic, giving you full control. Adjust Suspension Travel and Bottom Out Height effortlessly to match your model.
Steering System
Launch Control leverages real-world Ackermann Steering Geometry. For added flexibility, custom handles let you Art-Direct steering with accuracy.
Speed Segments
Easily animate your vehicle with Speed Keyframes directly in the viewport. Launch Control handles the Interpolation, giving you smooth results.
Animation Presets
Jumpstart your workflow with the library of built-in Presets, including Slaloms, Loops and more. You can also Save Custom Presets to streamline projects.
Workflow Preferences
As with all features in Launch Control, the Speed Segment tool is Fully Customizable—offering an intuitive setup while also allowing Fine-Tuning.
Real-Time Playback
Calculate realistic physics Live in the viewport. No need to wait for baking or caching when setting up your scene.
G-Force Indicator
Learn from the physics! Check the actual G-Forces acting on the vehicle during corners and accelerations. Use this to improve the Realism of your animations.
Physics Overdrive
Use the Artist-Friendly Overdrive sliders to Art-Direct the result of the physics with ease. Adjust with no re-baking to efficiently get the right feeling across.
Headlight Beams
Easily set up headlight beams for night time animations. Select one of 6 different beam types and customize spread, sharpness and temperature.
Automatic Skidmarks
Generate Skidmarks from the vehicle as it’s driving. The material of the Skidmarks can be customized for an altered look.
DCC Bridge
Pipe the animation into other DCCs such as UE5, Cinema 4D, Houdini and more using the DCC Bridge. Supported formats: .abc, .fbx, .usd, .glb, .udatasmith
Proxy Tool
Work more efficiently with dense vehicle data thanks to the one-click Proxy Tool. Export the Proxy Model and reconnect the High Quality data for ultimate speed.

Judge for yourself
See what Artists World-wide have to say about Launch Control.
I have to admit that I have rarely, if ever, had a tool that is so easy to use. For me, Launch Control is almost a one-button solution and is super intuitive to use.
Launch Control is the only rigging tool that keeps up with our fast turnarounds. It’s incredibly ‘Director-friendly’ and easy to tweak, change speeds, and adjust without hassle.
Using Launch Control feels like you’ve hired a rigging TD. It provides a robust and powerful “Turn Key” solution! Go grab your self a copy, you won’t regret it.
LC is a fantastic tool that offers full creative freedom. Its intuitive real-time magic physics simulations make the art direction process both seamless and enjoyable.
Extras In the box!
Export to DCCs
Quick Export makes data transfer fast and painless. LC plays well with UE5 and gives you useful export options to fit your workflow.
Skidmark Generator
One-click setup! Use the intensity and variance sliders to adjust the look of the skidmarks.
Automatic Camber & Castor
Wheels do not just turn around the Z-axis like most of us imagine. Camber and Caster are important to make the wheel motion look right.
Ackermann Steering Geometry
Car animation always look great – until the car is going through a curve. Ackermann in LC takes care of that and lets you put your focus on what matters.
3 HQ Vehicle Models Included
LC comes with 3 high quality vehicle models. All shaded and ready to be rigged. Take advantage of the Vehicle Gallery to quickly drop these into your projects.
Multi-Car Workflow
Rig and animate as many vehicles as you want. Color-coded paths and the Multi-Edit mode makes it easy to control all vehicles at once.
Speedometer
Knowing the speed at any moment in time is crucial for realism. Read the speed from the 3D View or UI panel.
Automated Ground Detection
Place all objects the vehicle is interacting with into the “Ground Detection” collection. High poly, low poly, messy geo, it doesn’t matter.
HDR Headlight Texture Presets
6 included headlight presets automatically sets up nice light beams in front of the car. The beams play well with volume objects, to create a sense of depth in the scene.
Dave the Driver Included
Everybody needs a protagonist. Our recommendation: Get a Dave! A high quality, custom model of a racing driver to put inside your Vehicles.
