RIB Tender (Rigged & Animated: Tiller Outboard, Boardable, Punctured Tube and Swamping)

A 4.2 m rigid inflatable boat (RIB) tender built for games and films: grey hypalon tubes with glued seams, a rubbing strake, grab lines and handles on a deep-V GRP hull, a teak-look floor, a thwart, a seat locker with cushions, a bow locker and a 30 hp tiller outboard with its fuel tank and line.

23 clips drive it. The outboard steers port and starboard with the tiller, opens and closes the twist-grip throttle, shifts forward and reverse, spins the prop ahead and astern, tilts up and down, and the tiller folds up and down. The bow locker lid opens and closes. The hull pitches through getting on plane, planing and coming off plane, and rocks at anchor.

Damage the way a RIB really takes it: a tube chamber is holed and goes soft, flattening onto the hull while the next chamber stays up, and she heels to it, then swamps and settles low, still afloat on the chambers left. She can also swamp with every chamber up, founder by the stern, or be knocked down.

The floor, thwart, seats and tubes can be walked and sat on with the designed collision; sockets mark the helmsman, the thwart's two seats, the bow seat and a stern passenger.

Mechanism rig of 18 bones, one per moving part. About 63,000 triangles with LODs, real-world scale in metres, PBR materials, designed collision. No loose gear is fused into the mesh. The sea in the film is our render set and is not included: the download is the boat and its animations.
