the antenna is attached to the movement of a "generic spring constraint". Hope this helps

@@MarcelAdamCG Thank you for the reply! I am going to try it out!

With the generic spring constraint. Let me know, if you need further instructions

@@MarcelAdamCG Thanks I think I know what to do

You need a simple IK Rig, with 3 Bones. First, the "Turret Bone" as root bone, put it in the center of the turret ring. Second the "Gun Barrel Bone", which is a child of the Turret Bone. It should originate where your gun barrel's vertical drive is located. You have to disable all rotations, except vertical axis, so that the Gun Barrel Bone can only rotate up and down (Bonus: you can also limit the rotation to a certain positiv and negativ degree, to limit the gun's depression. And finally third, you need a "Target" IK Bone (this can be Bone inside the Rig, or eg an "Empty" object). For simplicity, i explain it as a third Bone inside the rig. This third Bone has to be child of the root "Gun Barrel Bone", so that it moves and rotates with it. Put that Bone some meters (eg 10 meters) in front of the barrel. Then go to the Bone Solver Tab (in "Pose Mode") and add a "Inverse Kinematics Constraint" to the Gun Barrel Bone. Make the "Target" Bone the Ik Target and set the Chain length to "1". Now you should have a gun stabilizer. If you are unfamiliar with rigging, i recommend you first watching a tutorial about Rigging and IK (Inverse Kinematics).

@@MarcelAdamCG thanks for the fast reply !

​@@MarcelAdamCG​I was able to get the Ik rig working but am I supposed to parent the armature to the rigid body tank because it doesn't seem to have the actual gun stabilization where it bobs up and down to remain straight as the tank dips

@@bridgeburner9313 yes, the armature needs to be a child of the tanks chassis

@@MarcelAdamCG I was able to figure out how to make my own gun stabilization. Thanks anyways and cool videos

I recommend blender for modeling. And Unreal, Godot or Unity are all capable game engines, which are free for small studios

@@MarcelAdamCG So we can export & use a Blender model tank in Unity, Unreal, etc? Which S/w to create terrain, buildings, etc?

@@rajat9619 Yes. Unreal already comes with a pretty good terrain tool. So you would build i directly inside of unreal. Buildings would also be modelled in blender.

Oh and just a heads-up: game dev has a pretty high learning curve. So i highly recommend doing many tutorials and smaller projects. I find it great, that you want to make a game like war thunder. Just want to be clear that you need several month and beyond of training. So be patient! After a while it gets really awesome! ;)

@@MarcelAdamCG I just want to make a personal 3D game like a college project but as real as possible using free S/w ;-)

It rendered around 2 Frames per minute. But this was 3 years ago. So i think current Eevee could render it a bit faster

Glad you like it! You can download the 3D file here: skfb.ly/6XZvY

more like 15 tons

@@necaton Maybe, but that would be a really light tank. (I'm pretty sure this one's an MBT)

@@MarcelAdamCG Bunu biliyorum ama bu eski sürüm

In my "Tank Physics 4" video i did a very basic tutorial. However if you are looking for a step by step guide, i recommend you watching the tank physics videos by MC Gavish.

Sure, you can download it on Sketchfab skfb.ly/6XVHN

thanks, glad you liked it!

its gread but i doubt a tank would operate in tht place

Oh its you again :D What happened to your last comment? I did not delete it. However, for the sake of the slightest chance, that you are not simply trolling, i will grant you an explanation: The tanks armor design has a technology called "Active Defence System" in mind (it's all those tiny sensors around the hull). This active protection allows fewer hull plating, resulting in an overall lighter tank, but still increasing the effective protection.

@@MarcelAdamCG just look at russian tanks, they have good hull armor + aps. Tanks with good hull armor can fight on flat terrain, peek out of cover and take the shot from enemy and then shot back.

@@MarcelAdamCG lol mobility. Even u fast like a jet u still get shot.

@@MarcelAdamCG a good tank doesnt rely on any hills or houses to cover the weak part and can fight on both terrain. Flat terrain and slope terrain. Leopard 2a4,a5,a6 only good at slope terrain cuz the gun depression and good turret armor, but u fight in city map, it cant cuz the hull is weak and u cant peek out of cover , u cant always rely on objects to cover ur hull. Russian tank they just simply peek out of cover eat ur shell and shot u back, only the gun and tiny little lower plate is weak spot on russian tanks, while the rest nato tanks have entire hull is weakspot.

@@MarcelAdamCG think about putting the ammo behind turret, enemy gonna hit the gun manlet cuz less armor there, and penetrate straight through the front and detonate ammo behind. I saw that scenario alot in Warthunder.

I did it with animation. Maybe it would be possible to code something, but i don't know. If you want dynamic control you might consider bringing your rig into a real time engine like Unreal, Unity or Godot.

Thanks! Yes that was kind of a fussy job. For me worked the following: 1. Create a cylinder (without notches). 2. Align the the tracks perfectly on match with the cylinder's outer surface. 3. Add notches to the cylinder that are matching the spacing between the tracks. Hope that helps!

@@MarcelAdamCG Thank you that really helps, I'm new to this sort of thing in blender so this is uncharted territory. Now are your tracks one solid object or does each individual piece have its own origin?

@@areforreal5212 They have to be all individual Objects. If not already done, i recommend you watching the tank tutorial by McGavish. He walks you through the process quite nicely.

@@MarcelAdamCG thank you

Hey there, you can watch McGavish's tank track rig tutorial. It resembles my workflow for the most parts.

@@MarcelAdamCG Thanks

Some do, others don't. I always appreciate a good credit, however seeing that they chose my design as a representative for the MGCS is cool enough. Haha yes, i loved the Tiger from 2142 back in the days :D

Thanks for your comment! My initial concepts had a single engine block in mind. However i later decided to change that. Because a conventional transmission is highly interconnected with the engine. For my understanding, this is no longer the case when using an electric transmission, which is why i decided to move the engine to the front. This has the following advantages: additional frontal defense for the crew (engine works as armor). It also allows for a rear entrance to the vehicle, which can give the crew a much saver exit in case of an emergency evacuation.

You can find all information about render times in the video description

I can recommend you the tutorials by McGavish (for creating physics) and the tutorial series by Array modifier (for general modeling).

Glad you like my work :) I am not dead or stopped working on my stuff. In fact i was really busy working on an upcoming Virtual Reality project (you can find some WIP footage by searching "Virtual Timetravel in Luxembourg" on YoutTube). Also i am planing on starting my bachelor thesis about Game Design in the near future. So expect new content as soon as i am allowed or ready to publish it :D

@@DemonsFate Oh and sry that i answered with the wrong YT channel xD

Thank you :)

Same question

Actually i don't really know because i rendered it over night. But because of the volumetric fog it rendered quite slow for eevee. I would say around 1-2 Frames per minute on a gtx 1070.

Thanks for destroying my dream of this being real time

If it was done in cycles, it would have taken 15 days.

Not really. The armature modifier is still disabled. Thats why i had to create the rig by using animation constraints only. You can see it by looking at the antennas. I couldn't get them bending. So they are only moving stiff as a whole.

Not sure if i understand your question. But here is a similar approach to mine. maybe it helps you ruclips.net/video/q5fjslhomsI/видео.html

Leandro foi você que criou projeto .blend "Esteira Caterpillar" e publicou um vídeo demonstrativo do projeto com o link para download? Por favor diz que sim, eu procuro a muito tempo reencontrar o canal desse cara e não acho mais, acho que por algum motivo ele privou os vídeos. Eu tô te perguntando isso porque sou inscrito no seu canal (eu tinha me inscrito no canal dele) e você comentou em um vídeo que contém semelhanças no projeto. Acho que é você mesmo quem procuro kkk
