Sketchyphysics tank driving animation

This is an animated tank 3D model done in sketchup with sketchyphysics. The tank has a cannon with stabilisation that works very well. Tracks taken from my other tank.

hey can u tell me how to get the shocks and make the tread. or even make a tutorial

[shareck]

you make shocks using spring joints. a tread is made from links. a single link is a group that contain a box or other shape/shapes and a hige joint. you need to make dozens of links and than connect o hinge from one link with the next link, and to this x times for every link. it's simple but time consuming.

@happygamestvfun1 free!

@Pajijic the tracks are independent so you can drive one track back words and one fowerds and the tank turns.

[Pajijic]

how does a tank turn itself (mean how to make it go on turns without the sterring wheels.

program = how much? this vs other cads?

Every time I think I can do cool stuff with SketchyPhysics, I see stuff like that and I'm remindeed that I'm just a rookie...

[motorstormers]

this is great

[avenyou]

Very cool! Well done. You are rather talented.
