Might be difficult to pull off

by Dustin Mullen · in Artist Corner · 08/27/2007 (11:33 am) · 3 replies

I'm trying to create a tank in my game, I have everything pretty much figured out except one thing. I have absolutely no idea how to get the hull to rotate(like real life tanks). I tried animating the hull, but it just spins in circles while I attempt to drive the tank, so that didn't work out too well. Any ideas? It isn't a huge issue, but it would be a nice add on.

There is a tank pack that is available. I recommend purchasing it, not only do you get a really decent abrams tank with it, but youget the code and a working model example to dissect. Also if you looking for good tanks, www.3drt.com has awesome tanks for sale.

I don't know how they do it in those packs, but you might be able to do it using mountable turrents. I beleive there is a resource for this someplace.

I checked out the pack. I don't have 150.00 for a pack. That's a good idea for the mountable turrets. I'll look around for that.
