Due to numerous support requests about using the Path De-formers in MegaFiers for doing tank tracks etc, I thought it would be worthwhile adding a dedicated Tracked Vehicle system to MegaShapes, this system will position objects along a spline that defines the shape of the track making it very very fast as opposed to using the complex Path Deform modifier. The system also has a helper system to link automatically wheels to the track movement. The spline can be changed at any time so with some scripting you can do a simple raycast system to adjust the spline shape to the ground or use wheel colliders that position spline points etc. This is the first draft of this system and it will be available in the next update of MegaShapes.
Thanks for this, it’s like having a whole extra team working with us with all the extras you add in to your products.
Been playing with your system and it works perfectly, could I request the start position have an option to use a distance value as it would make it easier to get the tracks to move at the right speed, so then also the speed value would work as a proper speed instead of rate of change of the percent start value. Thanks.
Arr yes that would be a good idea wouldn’t it, I will get that added for the next update.
I didn’t see real speed value in the latest update, is it in there?
It will be in the next update.

Very nice work !
I really enjoyed the video.
I can see many uses for this…
It will work perfectly for Snow Mobiles and Snow Groomers…
Wonderful !
Just a quick note to say the Asset Store sale ends in a few hours so grab MegaShapes and the tank track system while you can at the reduced price.
