How to Rig a Tank in 9 Minutes | Blender Tutorial (Arijan) 

thank you so much you just saved me hours of painful troubleshooting

Indescribably thankyou so much!!!!!!!!!!

Can u explain that a little better … im interested 😮❤. I mean what will this do , I’m new

He can explain better than any school teacher

I useally when i make a suppension i simply take the supension arm zoom in where it rotates(from the tank hull) put the 3D curser in the middle and set control point to 3D curser lock every rotate axis(topright tool menu) but not the X axis becuse you need the X axis to rotate the arm and lock every location axis but Z axis the Z axis is optional i like to have the ability to move the arm up and down if needed Attach the road wheel to the supension arm as a parent and done you cann select the supension arm and rotate it manually and the roadwheel will move to For the tracks i would suggest using Bezier curve not normal one becuse with the bezier one you cann get a more curvey lines and plus you cann attach the controll points where you move the curve to a empty box place the empty box near the controll point from the curve and then attach the empty box to the supension arm after that if lets say the tracks go under the floor after you keyframed the supension you cann simply move the empty box and fix the track with rotating the box or moving it its a vers usefull trick i found when dealing with tracks going under the floor or similar issues Only problem with this is you have to keyframe every single suppension arm and empty box what takes time

Had to use my phone's voice recorder this time because I'm travelling but I'll be back with my rig soon👌 thanks for the feedback

Well u r right but animation is about coolness more than reality so 😅I’ll do it this way

use dupli-faces so the tracks wont bend

I found a way to fix it I asked chat gpt to give me a code that detects when ever the hull is pointed towards +Y or -Y and same for the X axis then the tank does a 180 turn and turns from +Y to -Y the code would invert what ever number was inside the constraint so 1m would go to -1 and there for fix the tracks and roadwheels going the wrong way Ask chatgpt to and try it it worked for me

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same question here

Let's keep in touch...if you find a solution please inform me here, I'll do the same.@@chomp5558

Try the bone rigging for a car . That will work better

If you set the target to local space, the wheels will spin in the directions which you want.

Ctrl+P will parent ur wheels to ur tank …..so select the wheels and then select the body last and then move the body and see the wheels move with it
