In this After Effects tutorial, we'll learn how to rig and animate a monster truck with a complex rig for the Suspensions using our powerful physics engine, Newton. We'll start by preparing our truck in After Effects, then head into Newton to set up our simulation. We'll also use ConnectLayersPRO to visualize the suspensions in AE.

This tutorial is perfect for motion designers looking to add realistic physics to their animations. Whether you're new to Newton or an experienced user, you'll find valuable tips and techniques to help you create stunning animations.
