Cinema 4D Xpresso Tutorial 44: Caterpillar Tracks

In this Cinema 4D Xpresso tutorial, we build a caterpillar track, which can be fully animated, simply by moving the entire rig along its X axis. The end result looks great!

My thanks go to the following people, all of whom have been kind enough to buy me a coffee:

Matt, Cedric, Uriah, Willy, Vadim, Tim, Simone, Alain, David and Daniil.

Your generosity is always, greatly appreciated!
