🏎️ Convertible Roof Animation

RoofFx introduces support for animated convertible roofs, allowing multiple roof panels to rotate smoothly during open/close transitions. Perfect for showcasing realistic convertible mechanics in your vehicle models.

🔧 Dummy Naming Convention

To define convertible roof components, name your dummies using the following format:

x_convertible_roof, x_convertible_roof2, x_convertible_roof3, ...

Also optional boot dummies (trucks that hide the roofs) can be added

x_convertible_boot, x_convertible_boot2, x_convertible_boot3, ...

🛠️ JSON Configuration Example

Customize each roof element with rotation and speed parameters using the following JSON structure:

"roofs": {
  "x_convertible_boot": {
    "rotation": 60,
    "speed": 2.0
  },
  "x_convertible_roof": {
    "rotation": 60,
    "speed": 2.0
  },
  "x_convertible_roof2": {
    "rotation": -60,
    "speed": 2.0
  },
  "x_convertible_roof3": {
    "rotation": 175,
    "speed": 2.0
  }
}

🎨 Parameters Explained

  • rotation: Angle (in degrees) the dummy will rotate (in X axis) during the roof animation
  • speed: Rate of rotation (higher values = faster animation)
