Description:
Karosa C734, Czech bus, and I fell in love with it. So I made it for fun. (Preview video)
Fairly detailed model, but nothing high-poly. It can be viewed real-time with no subsurf modifiers still offering good amount of detail. Even possible to use in games, as all the textures are baked.
- 23 separate textures
- ~27000 tris, ~14000 faces
- Fully colorable (change the colors of the Paint_Color and Seat_Color materials)
- Ready to be painted (use the TexPaint texture to paint on the bus, the texture slots are disabled by default on both Paint_White and Paint_Color)
USING THE RIG:
Warning:
- Using the rig requires certain level of knowledge of Blender.
-
The rig is intended for use on FLAT SURFACES. It is possible to work with slight height differences, as I showed in my animation. However the physics usually go crazy, and then it requires lots of hand animation and troubleshooting. Use the rig on uneven/bumpy surfaces only at your own risk.
-
Edit the "Path" curve to represent the path you want the vehicle to take
- Make sure your ground plane is a passive rigid body.
- Make sure that the path never goes below the ground.
- Animate the path Evaluation time
- Bake Rigid body physics
- Animate the bus tilting by animating the "Armature" bones
- The "Armature" has 3 custom properties. 2 for animating the doors, and one for the wheels' rotation speed called Wheel_Speed. Wheel_Speed is a constant. It's dependent on the path's lenght, so it'll be different for every animation. You'll need to tweak it so that the wheels' rotation corresponds to the distance they travel.

Written October 31, 2015The video looks great. (I've been a busdriver for a couple of years.) I probably would pay money for this, but it is not really a 'style' what you see in my country.

Edited October 31, 2015I would've bought this if you sold them as a pack containing atleast 3 different bus designs(Under 40$).

Written November 06, 2015Absolutely masterpiece! and if you would say, you made it with CATIA, then I could ... believe it :) BTW: when watching the movie - I guess, google car technology still needs some more work ;) Your donation encouraged me also to get back to my old bus project, which I abandoned five years ago. I will try to finish it soon (not much work to do) and share it with the community.
Would I pay for such a project? Well, if grabcad.com would be inactive ...

Written November 06, 2015Thanks! I'm looking forward to your project. There aren't that many buses on Blend Swap, so I bet everyone will appreciate it. :)

Edited November 09, 2015I think you could sell this with some more fine-tuning of the rig and physics, and also the seats inside look a bit flat (although that might just be me; the buses I've seen where I live are a bit different.) But the quality is good enough to justify selling it--I just think people would be more likely to buy it with some small tweaks for realism.

Written November 15, 2015Is this thing game raedy? (baked?) If it is, I think people would buy it (25$ or something).

Written November 16, 2015Ok, thanks. Yea it is baked (AO and other stuff). I'm used to real-time rendering, which is probably a really bad habit, if I wanted to make something a bit more realistic.

Written November 26, 2015Yeah, I'd sell it if I made it. Anything that people buy is good enough to sell. So if you make no money, maybe it's not ready to sell or there is no market for it. If it does sell, then BAM! It's good enough!
I've made a few hundred dollars on the Blender Market myself.

Written November 27, 2015Currently using custom properties for animations means it does not support linking and animations (when you create a proxy of the armature it only updates bones). A better solution is to add bones in the armature and animate them.

Written November 28, 2015Well, ok, didn't know that. It makes sense, supposing people will want to link the blend to their existing projects. Though it sounds a bit more time consuming to animate bones and base all the drivers on physical values (bones' location etc.), I guess it's worth it.
I'll do in future projects.Thanks. :)

Written February 09, 2016Any chance you could do this bus? I'd love to see it!: https://desertbus.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/desertbus-taylorwindham.jpg

Written February 09, 2016Lol, maybe if it was for the charity donation thing. But otherwise, I don't really have the time.

Written July 20, 2016Just. For. Sure. The main law of sales - model will be sold if it is hardly needed. And then price is not matter.
Look at this. It was sold

Written October 07, 2017Is it okay if I use this in a youtube video? I wanna make a little test with the bus being chased by police cars through a city, crashes and stuff...

Written October 07, 2017Sure!
You don't need to ask. Just look at the license. I published this under CC-BY, so you just need to me credit me for the model, but you can do whatever you want with it.
Definitely link me the finished video when you're done though! I'd love to see it. :)

Written July 29, 2018Could I use it in a game I'm making? I'm crediting everything in the credits.

Written September 02, 2020physics based rigs are the best I have tried rigging cars with the tank rig method but failed now I can finally learn how to do it the proper way

Written September 12, 2020the rig is pretty confusing I animated evaluation time but it keeps glitching like moving around everywhere I even tried baking rigid body
Nice! This one used to take me to school, when i was much younger... Thanks
