it's Bullet,

did some sims yesterday with Bullet, went ok-ish, but couldn't get it to work with parenting for some strange reason.. (?)
so, need to alter the scene a bit, for then to do some...

yep, did try the hardlink (#7) method with clothfx colliding with the ground, but only worked so-so.
like you mentioned back in the days, the tread "snaps" once the tank takes a turn.

i know, quite Awesome what she achieved!  https://i.imgur.com/kWfIGoZ.gif


yes, this is something i wish wasn't so in the original scene, I always prefer to have the final character in 1 layer....

makes me curious if it is possible to add dynamics or similar to either. (SplineControl / ChainMove)

I know Dodgy did it using ClothFX some time back, was going to test it, but very unfortunately...

i found that there are basically 4 methods (non of them fantastic) to reduce the penetrations.

- the most obvious one, use...

Found the original render, looks great, but with less detail on the wings.

not sure, maybe. Create Rows >

might be able to add thickness to the wings (without surface-penetration) by scanning MDD, then adding displacement.

see Carm3D's trick > Displacements & MDD's Can Be Friends...

just a fixed 11.6 scene, fixed the wings attachment.
still penetrating front/back, but i'll leave it a challenge 4 u to fix...  https://i.imgur.com/fMb2Mjm.gif

note, works on points only, not edges.

i never know how to recommend those prebuilt ones, since they are often Twice the price of what you build yourself.

my advice, get a guy to build it for you. much better. much cheaper.

Genoma in DAZ Studio is completely different. Coincidentally they use the same name.

We have to live with the fact that Windows 7 is not going to be around forever. Support will stop. And applications will stop supporting the Windows 7 version.

10 years on using Windows 7 is going...

upgrading Alembic should be high on NewTek's list.

i guess you can export obj seq. but with lacking moblur of course.

ok, so it looks like Genoma 1 and Genoma 2 are quite similar.

mighty good links TheLexx....

i used Genoma 1 for rigging, went fine, but for actually animating it, it wasn't too efficient.

do check RHiggit! (link below)

interested in what others has to say about it.

Some time back the guy in the video above experienced that even though he set Windows 10 not to update, it did it anyway.
But hopefully that bug has been fixed.
