who knows m8 :-) I need to put one more detail and this is the small fender for blades.

Blades can't hit ground. 90 is maximum angle how much can blades go down from position that screenshots shows.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Impractical?? This is a zombie invasion here...

I think it looks sweet, and you're going really well with this project

[DbblGlock]

Nice. i think anything that can harm a zombie is good, be it impractical or not.

[doom18]

oh i see now .. but you should also change the angle by 45 degres on his axis ...like a propeler s oit would stick into the zombie

[fskpzns]

Only small update. Added chains at front of vehicle.

I will try m8 because my Intel and 4Gb is dying already when i open my project :-)))

( !!! I wont Mac !!!! :-((((( )



PS for Tom: I download Blender. One file: -blender-2.45-windows- 8.3 mega

[tom120934]

If you're surprised because of the file size, don't worry. It's the full version, with every feature you can see in use here or there. Installation is really light because the software was developed that way : with efficiency in head : first releases was used to use less than a ... floppy : 1.4 MB

Also, there is no help file or tutorials or sample materials or test scene or whatever that come with any commercial 3D software. But so much can be found on the internet that it's pretty easy to get started.

Some lectures : Manual - BlenderWiki and also Blender 3D: Noob to Pro - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks a free book to learn.

Thx !!! Tom. I check all this but first to finish this project. I will bookmark links in your post.

that is looking really nice. Did you use a specific way to make the chains hanging like that? I only know the method of doing it by hand, so it would takes days for me.

[Dr. Feelgood]

The chains look quite high-poly when really they could be quite low. How did you position the links out? Because it is done really well. I had plans for chains on my Gallardo but was going ot position them link-by-link 'cos that's the only way I know how

Belive me.... i work one by one chain (on this turn spots) because for some reason SPLINE IK SOLVER don't wont to work. Now i plan to make barbed wire but after this SPLINE IK SOLVER problem ..... huh !!!

When you make a complet chain. Link all chains (one by one) than select first chain (for example from left) and go to Animation menu, click on IK SOLVER and use SPLINE IK SOLVER. Your cursor will change in small plus and click on last chain. If you good linked all chains you will see small blue line from left (first chain) to right (last chaine). Than make simple line above your chain but put more vertex between 1st and last (vertex will be controls for you chaine) Slecet chain again and go to SPLINE IK SOLVER control panel and you will see button PICK SHAPE. Click and select line above chain. Now, when you move vertex on that line, chain will move. You can right click and change vertex of line on smooth. Just play and see result. I hope your SPLINE IK SOLVER work :-))))

PS: When you make first link/chain be sure to change pivot point to left (if you plan to make more links on left) or right (if you plan to add more links on right side of 1st chain you make)

[Sebastian Appel N.P]

Wow that was a usefull tip THX! I´ve always thought it was a pain in the #?! to make these kind of details!

[fskpzns]

Be advise that maybe i do something wrong in all this steps because as i say i can't acquire 100% result (i must manually correct some spots ) I will try to see where i make error. If someone discover pleas post correction.

Also be advise that i use word CHAIN for every single part of chain. I don't know how you guys call this in english.... link or chain.

My bad english

It's hard to say but seems like for what you have built so far, unless it is all very high poly there is no way you should be choking 4G.... Looks real good, but try to see where you can eliminate as many polies as possible.
