Anime Studio BATTLE BOTS - Physics bone battles

[heyvern]

As you may know, in AS 7 bones can have motor physics allowing for creations that do their own thing based on motor speed keys, torque, density etc. Someone suggested the possibility of having "contests" with the creations we come up with.

Here's a very simple not worked out sample of what is possible. The only keys are for the alternating direction of all of the motor bones using a cycle key to repeat.

That's pretty damn crazily awesome.

Very funny. It was a great fight.
I would love to have more time to submit something to the contest
(this couple months I can't... I have to sell cars )

LOL, those are some crazy bots!

[Gametrog]

Most impressive, I would like to work in some particle physics so my line-bot could fire out some form of gas attack!

aww!!! how , what is jah

My stab at a battle bot; proof I have way too much free time.

lets see some more ideas gays/gals!!!

Heyvern!

The new physics in AS is unbelievable! I'm not much of a techy but I'm really wanting to learn the technical aspects of the program. This video gave me an idea on making a self propelled vehicle. I want to make a wheel by drawing a circle, add a curve profile to make treads and then use a motor to propel it forward but also have gravity effecting it too so it moves forward on a non movable surface. Is this possible? Then, if it is, can I use bones to link this moving wheel to other objects or other layers and pull them? i.e. the body of a car and a back wheel? Making a kind of autonomous self propelled car? If this is possible, could you maybe give me some pointers? I think if I can make one then the possibilities would be limitless! Sorry if this has been asked before or if it's just a stupid question but your video got me all excited!!!!!
