Panther G rigged!

Snorri's amazing skins really do look superb in Outerra

  this.animate_wheels();
}


I would like to thank cameni for the code to make the turret turn, the gun elevate and the tank perform more realistically.

In the model in max, I have left roads wheels as odd numbers and right road wheels as even numbers. The barrel has to be a child of the mantlet and the mantlet a child of the turret.

The pivot for the barrel needs to be moved to the turret end, so it will raise up/down.

That looks incredible with those textures. Nice job.

You're better start to train like Leon then. And buying a nice plant to moisture every day.   ;D  ... fine work ! ... will definitely take some of it for my work later.  ;)

The texture job looks amazing, I love the reflectance texture on the panther. I have to learn to do these now.


It seems that in order to import the turret, it needs to be at the root hierachy, as the chassis. Lucky that you showed that pic otherwise i would a hard time figuring this out.

On the tiger2 i can't seems to find the way to get the gun to move up and down. I did set the mantlet pivot right where the mantlet/turret meet. Do you have ideas as  what i could have done wrong?

I set the Panther G mantlet pivot slightly further back, so it would rotate around the turret correctly. Have you linked it as per the picture?

Other than that M7 I run out of talent, as I have no coding skills.

To get the starter sound to play:

this.snd.play(0, 1, true, false);

to

this.snd.play(0, 1, true, true);

Thanks ! startup sound works now. As for the hierachy, i did follow the same order as in your pic.

Did you see I used a capital M for Mantlet?

Could that be it.

Damnit I will not have the release of these tanks held up by Syntax Capitalization Mistakes!
