[Question] Tank Linkage
i am modeling at the moment on the Puma for the german forces mod and this is the first time i do a tank so is the linkage animated or is it a moveable texture?

Re: [Question] Tank Linkage
The tank tracks needs to be "static", so what you need to model is just the tracks as a single object (with no linkages...)...
The tracks moves by rotating the textures around that object that you define as the track.
EDIT: realized my answer might not be all that clear so searched my photobucket to see what I had laying around to describe it better:
dont do the individual links as I did here:

Do it like this: (sorry if its rather small)
