j w 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Maccollo (otherwise known as general at these forums) is developing a dynamic track. Instead of a moving texture, it's supposed to be that the tracks move around the wheels. Looks cool. Download movie ~2,48MB All credits to Maccollo, he just asked me to post it overhere. <s>Put in OT cause he isn't trying to implement it for OFP, maybe for ArmA or other games?</s> Thanks for clearing, Hellfish Just as a note: Maccollo told me to write that it's just a prototype. Just FYI EDIT: Now the newer version in this post to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted February 18, 2006 Addons and mods: discussion is the best place for it, regardless of which OFP engine game it's for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tankieboy 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Its a real shame its not being done for OFP. Looks very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
llauma 0 Posted February 18, 2006 So which game engine is it for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
general 0 Posted February 19, 2006 this project comes to a sudden halt. If I wanna continue with it, I need at least twice the computer power I have now. dynamics at this scale usally aren't a problem, but when things are linked togeather as a chain the computer have to calculate the influence from one link (like weight, speed and so on) to the link next to it, and the next to that one and so on. and this takes more than 5 times as much computer power as normal dynamics. however... I've proven that it's possible... in a few years anyway... this is as far as I got... for the moment... here's the last clip Dynamic track ~2.48 mb it's just a bit slower than the one in the first post.

cl10k 0 Posted February 19, 2006 nice idea... which engine did you use? i tried something similar with maya-dynamics, but like you said you need a lot of power to count all the dependencies... i think we have to wait some years btw: if your interested in dynamics, have you seen melbotwars? a nice project for maya... just google for it and you'll find some interesting vids...
