7.5 Animation Question? About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. 7.5 Animation Question? // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by Bonehead // Apr 27, 2007, 4:56am Bonehead Total Posts: 11 Do any of you Beta-Testers know if the new animation tools in 7.5 will allow you to animate a spline path, or an array of objects around a closed path, or to be more specific could I animate tank tracks without a plug-in? Most 3D packages have this ability, even Blender. Also are their any improvements for effects animation? Post by frootee // Apr 27, 2007, 5:22am frootee Total Posts: 2667 hey bonehead. due to NDA requirements, the beta testers most likely will not be able to answer this. But perhaps the requirements have been loosened. Frootee Post by nowherebrain // Apr 28, 2007, 11:00am nowherebrain Total Posts: 1062 It is possible in 6.6.

Post by mrbones // Apr 29, 2007, 7:12pm mrbones Total Posts: 1280 Do you mean the tracks on a tank or the tracks a tank makes on the ground? or both? I have 6.6 and would be interested in knowing how you can animate tank tracks without a plugin.:jumpy: Post by nowherebrain // Apr 30, 2007, 3:37am nowherebrain Total Posts: 1062 He's been PM'ing me about it and my guess is both, but the origional question was the tracks moving along the roadwheels(the gears under the hull). Post by Bonehead // Apr 30, 2007, 10:10am Bonehead Total Posts: 11 Hey guys, I'm talking about the tank treads. They have to follow a closed path or the path itself must be animated around the road wheels.
