I would also like to thank VK, Ockham, Dr Geep and lwanmtr for their help in solving the eternal problem of tank tracks. And to McLean, Lesbentley and others whose forum posts and tutorials helped get this working. And for those of you who are going to make their own models with posable tracks, study the code I made, and learn how to do it, dont just copy and paste the code wholesale. I have found many ways of improving the code further, but I ran out of time before my March 1st deadline for release. So hopefully I will have even better code in the next tank model. And the free model will also include, especially for animators, the formulas and methods to use to calculate the speed of your vehicles, so that you dont have tanks driving at 300km/h, or jet aircraft flying at 30 km/h, and so that you can animate tanks without the tracks ice-skating or spinning in place.
