Seeking tutorial on making tank treads // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by chromedragon // Jan 19, 2007, 5:02pm chromedragon Total Posts: 33 Hello, can anyone direct me to information on building tank treads? I see one for those who use Maya, but I am not familiar with their terminology. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Post by chromedragon // Jan 19, 2007, 6:39pm chromedragon Total Posts: 33 Is there a way to link several items in a path (spline array?) so that I have one object that can be copied several times around a shape so each object is properly rotated? At this time I am not looking to animate. I have spent several hours trying to figure this out in Truespace and am getting nowhere. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Post by Chester Desmond // Jan 19, 2007, 6:56pm Chester Desmond Total Posts: 323 there is no native array tool in 5.2 that I can remember.. you could try this: http://ckgamefactory.hp.infoseek.co.jp/tsxe/copyex.html or maybe one of the others there: http://ckgamefactory.hp.infoseek.co.jp/tsxe.html if you're unfamiliar with the program, it would take a fairly lengthy tutorial to explain how to do it tonight.. and of course, in order to make the tutorial, I'd first have to figure out how to make a tank tread myself haha are you going for high or low detail (ie realistic or game) Post by chromedragon // Jan 26, 2007, 4:43am chromedragon Total Posts: 33 Thanks Chester for the link for Copyex. It is a good start for me and saves me time. I have used Truespace in the past (1.0, 3.2, 4.0) and now 5.2. The command icons look so different. I guess the more time I spend on it the better I will get on using it.
