Reactor Tank Animation 2

[jakerismitology]

Nice!

[DaveCarpe]

Great video. I am trying to do something similar for a school project. Any tips you might give?

[xIJoey]

this is sick!!!

[TheFXGuy]

Great job. I haven't used reactor in Max (since the trial expired and I'm getting used to blender), but from this and some other videos I've seen, it's awesome.

Looking through the comments, you say cheers a lot.

[Qtittb]

@TheFXGuy Yea, I like that word. It's my second favourite. First favourite is 'whatever'

Cheers.

[TheFXGuy]

@Qtittb lol

I kinda figured you would just reply with the word "Cheers"

[AshishSoni2010]

great..........

[Ayub211]

omg its perfect. respect man.

[RusBEAR1988]

hi ! any tutorials with reactor or tank wheels and tracks ?

[JmChadillonProduct]

the driver looks drunk

[SpawnINRI]

I wish you would've made the tank shoot.

[NobleValerian]

Contrary to popular belief, tanks can be kind of fragile, and they are tough to drive... a little bouncy sure... but you can flip a tank right over if you are inexperienced

[Qtittb]

Wow. I certainly flipped that one couple of times XD

Thanks for the info.

Cheers

@NobleValerian as someone who has driven a tank, not so easy to flip. You would have to be a total idiot to flip one.Very bumpy yes, very.

[NobleValerian]

@Talmore As someone who has driven a tank... I disagree.... The breaks on an A1 Abrahams are designed to stop 369 tons of machinary powered by twin jet engines. They are very powerful and very sensitive. It would be ignorant to flip it, but not difficult.

[stoshik]

70 tonns object is much more heavy than this toy )

[Individuals11]

This is really good, apart from the bouncing part on that brick there... set the bricks much smaller for a more intricate visual effect, i probably dont know as much as you though, im only a first year. Check out my noob animations for a laugh :D... love this though, really good inspiration for me to be honest.

[NoShame86]

The tank doesn't look very stable. I wouldn't want to ride in this.

[Fabius300]

did have any tutorial for making tanks like these?

i´ll try to make a tank :)

[xSpringfieldx]

Great! only suggestion is to increase the weight, it bounces too much

[chaklong]

awesome tank

nice work!

I suck at creating stuff like this

[cyborgtroy]

It looks like it doesn't weigh very much... the tank should weigh a lot compared to the treads, so when it rolls over bricks, the suspension compresses rather than having the whole thing just bounce over them.

[yugoth555]

good work ! very realistic

[yugoth555]

good work !! its very realistic

[chrisbrinzo]

Gotta make that baby shoot some tungsten!!! Other than that, It's are really nice model!

[zzddevilzz]

truely amazing@@!!

[PpppTtttGggg]

Great!

[PretendStudios]

Extremly nice dude! thats awesome use of reactor:D one thing i have to say thoug is that you should try making the tank heavier. so it doesnt fly so much.^^ Keep up the good work:D

[R3104DBR]

yea...idk if the program used has options abould the suspention system...in case the answer is yes:

make it LESS strong (so the wheels get more realistic when passing over small objects...a single wheel dont lift the wheight of the tank...) ( 0:05 )

and more/less damping value so it shake for less time... ( 0:15 )

[monopita]

that's a good use of reactor.

did you animate the tracks too? must have taken like months to calculate!

I have done that before (simulate the tracks movement actually coming from the wheels) but It takes so much time to calculate, I had to try it with bigger tracks so they make only about 25 in total.

[MouthofSaurons]

Yeah.. this proves you don't need any X-pensive plugins to make good animations :)

[Qtittb]

Happy Christmas everyone.

Cheers.

[redfoxarts]

hapy new year man! Great one! can you pls show us how did you apply reactor and how did you use craft director tools or what...? pls????

[michaelsartison]

very good,but u have to do more mass cuz its a llil bit bouncy and lite

[werandomnize]

That was cool.

[xxVectorZeroxx]

wow, that is the most impressive thing i have seen a nonproffesional pull off yet. i love that environment, a little bare but still impressive. what program did you use? and is it hard to put together a game/movie if your just a lone dude with a great idea?

[Qtittb]

Please... Read the INFO!

I'm a lone dude with a great idea. This was made in 3 days time. So, guess yourself. And I did not care 'bout the evironment. Maybe someday I'll post a fully detailed animation. Mayby not.

Cheers.

[Giganotosaurus1993]

You should definitely put more in the scene. That would make me rate it 5 stars and not 4. Good work though.

[zippersquirrle]

Very nice. There is a little to much spring in the tank when it is sitting idle. Other than that looks great!

[banauet37]

awesome animation! wish you could also make us a tutorial...

[spagget]

I know it took you months and months!  Good work!

[Qtittb]

The animation?? Well, actually it took me like... 2 days :)

[brandtproduction]

good work!!

[flame146]

all good, but only one thing... tank is all the time mostly kinda bouncy, even when he's still

[Qtittb]

Yes it is.

[mrjfin]

to be honest its looks delicopus real whole movements of tank suspension there is no simulation which make it look more real sad that is only rendered anim

[OGMO11]

make a game of this with XNA and you would rock man!!!

[Qtittb]

Well, I suck in C so it's rather impossible. :)

But thanks.

[OGMO11]

im working on a game (just started) in XNA so...

[darthgotica]

Could you tell me what is XNA?

[erett2000]

xbox 360 game making

[darthgotica]

You could always hook up with a programer...

That is if you whant to make a game in the first place.

And for suspension, try to make First and last set of road wheels some 20-30% tougher then the rest of the wheels, i think that the result will be more realistic.

Anyway you did make a great tread animation, it would be great if the game creators would do the same job.

[OGMO11]

currently im learning XNA already but there's another project first ^^
