Add Support for Simple Solid Axel #61

David thank you so much for this FREE add-on. it is very much appreciated. I am a novice rigger and I was using the addon for a solid axel 4wd vehicle and wondering how I would modify the rig to support a simple solid axel between the front and rear wheels.

I may be able to do this easily by customizing the bones in the rig, but as a novice, i thought it might be helpful to have a "simple axel" checkbox or something.

This is not complex IFS or anything - basically a pole.

Thanks for listening!

Yep, It could be a good idea. But unfortunately, I have no time to improve this add-on. For your model, you can try to display the last layer of the armature and you will find two bones: MCH-Axis.Ft for the front and MCH-Axis.Bk for the back. You can try to parent your axles to those bones. It will probably not be 100% correct but it may do the job.
