Puff of smoke when firing main cannon?

Post by SovereignZuul »

I've seen this done in youtube clips. Surely I could figure out how to make a set-up that does this but why do it solo when I've got all of you! :angel:

Anyone done this to their tank? The effect is super cool and I feel like it adds a lot. Let's see your methods... B|

Here you go Zuul....unfortunately TorpedoChief didn't go into detail as there wasn't too many responses...but if you PM him or post a response he might come in and give more instructions

The idea is not new...It was pioneered by Torpedochief in 2011...
I ran with it for a while and obtained some interesting results using the Asiatam recoil system...

Look for this video: http://youtu.be/t5YHDs-qY8c?list=UUoWjH ... nVnrbH3GxQ

I haven't given up on the project; I have a new design in mind using servo recoil...

It's part of my winter project... :D

Wow, that PZIV's smoke effect is excellent! Going to follow the trail of threads. My thanks to both of you!

(Also doing servo recoil)
