Some questions on tank modeling


09-13-2003, 09:28 AM
Goodafternoon all. I'm thinking of making a tank in 3dsmax, but before I start I have some questions I hope to have answered ;).

To start, if I want to make it as a mapmodel, how many polygons can it have?

Second: How do I make the tracks of a tank? That one really puzzles me.

And last, are there any tankmodels, aready made for dod maps that I can view?

Thanks alot in advance.

There are lots of tank models in the default DoD installed. The cromwell model in mapmodels should be a good guide.

As for tracks, flat polygons with a transparent texture will do it if you want holes in the tracks.

I trust you know how to assign images to planes?
