The mapping isn't done that well. Ie you are wasting alot of UV map space, and the way you're doing it- orthographic viewports for the UV, means that you're going to get some areas that are difficult to line up.

I'm gonna have a go at it while I have 30mins free.

I'm using unwrap and don't know if its the best to use but its free, I am looking into mapping a bit more with tut but i like to do trial and error the most of the time. Thanks Butter's for the heads up and for taking time out on this!

Select the vertecies that will turn and assighn it to the bone in the middle of the t. Then in the animation mode you just rotate that bone. Hope that's what you meant. Both look good BTW

on closer inspection, yeah i can see where there are too many stacks in the cylenders of the barrels and allot pasted polys in spots. Good desighn though, but it could look exactly the same with allot less pollys.

That's debatable. If it's animated, and can shoot, then it's gonna be considered a character by FPSC, so it won't really matter as long as it's below 3000 polys.

Make sure you place a new bone exactly half way between the barrels, and call that Firespot, then you can have muzzle flash. Also, it might be an idea to call the bone at the point of rotation "head", then you can use the "rotatehead" commands in the FPE to make the gun turn (without the base rotating)

The 1st one is 2400 poly, high yeah! But i think i can loss about half that!

The 2nd one is 936 poly, the one I trying to animate

If you want it to move more robotically, cut the head off from the base, and add in the polys to make it so there are no holes. then stick it all onto one bone, and then add the firespot like butters said. I hope that makes sense. if not i'll draw ya up a sketch. If you don't cut it off, you may well get deformation arround the top of the base.

TATBS 1.8 is now fully functional. Brilodis is having its districts extracted to Battle City. Krina and Karin are twice the size. And you’ll see 5 times as many breeds of monsters... It’s Kalspher V3.

Not if you've assigned the vertexes correctly. if you look in the top right view window in the screenshot, you can see that the part where the guns join the base are a separate mesh from the base its self.

Thats what i was trying to tell him to do I didn't realise he had already done it. Good luck on the animation then
