But will it blend?

[seenema]

Conoces el concepto "ENERGIA LIBRE" o "FREE ENERGY" quiza puede adaptarse a tu modelo.

This generation lives on screen. :-(

well i understand its probably just a model made for fun or what not, but if your going to make one that turns maybe you should consider throwing the drive shaft and gears in there to make it look realistic. but on the other hand, have you considered hydraulic planetary drives? they are more efficient and would be cool to show how they work in a video like this.

[bryceguy72]

@kebby28 That drive shaft thing is indeed a good idea but the problem is... it will involve doing more work. I made the Rube Tank animation for fun while just playing around. There was no attempt to produce anything useful or realistic. And even then, it took way longer than I expected. I'm kind of burnt out on treaded vehicles now... I guess because I get bored easily. I did eventually make the turning tank, however. Search for Rube Tank and click the black and white animation to see it.

@bryceguy72 parts remind me of lego mindstorms :D

[kingpen]

How did you acquire the Maya software~?

[bryceguy72]

@kingpen What Maya software?

[kingpen]

@bryceguy72 My bad. I don't know how I could confuse the word 'Maya' with '3D Studio'

[addisonk]

[TheMehryar]

@addisonk read the description dude.
