Hi
I am a beginner and have a few questions. How does anyone go about modeling things such as Weapons and Vehicles. Here is an example, I in the future want to model an M1A2 Abrams Tank and I want to animate the treads, main gun turret and the other turrets, the three hatches. How would you go about doing that ? Would you model them separately and then put them into position when finished. I do want to put a camera inside of the tank so the player can see inside and be able to use things.
When modeling a weapon. Let’s use an M4A1 Carbine, I want to be able to customize this weapon in game. This is what I want to be able to customize. Muzzle, Rails forward and rear, magazine, butstock, grip, barrel. Again would I have to use the same method and basically model everything separate.
I am starting off with beginner things I am just curious about how anyone would go about making these things, thank you to who ever helps by replying with an helpful answer.
