I created a crappy little tank only because I wanted to figure out how to do it. Anyway, I have all the bones set up and it seems to work but I cant figure out how to get the smoke for the muzzle to work like the med and light tanks, also I need to create a skin and all the tutorials I read say it needs to be done in 3ds max is there an easy way to do it with renx?

your muzzle flash emitter must be linked to your muzzle bone. Its easier to unwrap your model in 3ds max you can do it in renx but its a lot harder.

These are 2 tutorials i look at when setting up vehicles

yea no problem, one day I got curious how the vehicles in renegade work also. I imported all the westwood vehicles in renx and rebonned all them just so i could understand how they worked. Same goes for all the renegade weapons.
