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
