Mercedes SLR Wheel Steering & Turning - 3D Rig Week 5

This week my focus was on nailing down all four wheels turning and, getting the front two wheels to turn in synchronicity.

I began by getting all four wheels to spin in place, I Had noticed that when everybody else was rigging there wheels, they had rigged the Brake disk and the calliper to turn with the wheel also, This is a huge error in function and it looks disgusting and lazy, I made sure that I moved the actual moving parts of the wheels into separate groups so that The wheel could spin freely as intended and not drag the brake disk and calliper with it, this is displayed below. 






















The challenge moving forward would be that, when setting up the wheels steering to make sure the brake disk and callipers do move with the wheel to face the correct orientation and not clip through the wheel, I knew from some earlier trial and error that this again would just be an appropriate group hierarchy problem, This was the case and with careful grouping I achieved it.
