Lesson 5 - Move Control

A move control is a controller that allows the user to move the entire rig and objects around without them seperating or breaking. This is useful when it needs to be placed in a scene or moved out of the way.

Start by creating a large controller under the car. This can be as simple as a square or circle. Don't forget to freeze, center and delete.

The large cyan arrows are the main control.

Next, in the outliner, highlight the wheel group, all the controls and then the main control. When parenting it's always Child before Parent which is why the main control is last.

Press 'P' to parent them together. The result should be as follows:

Finally, the Rear_suspension_control and Front_suspension_control need to be parented to the Main_suspension_control.

The final outliner should look like this.

Now when you move the main control, the whole car should move along with all the controllers.
