he Ultimate Guide to Blender 3D Rigging and Animation - Lesson 13 - 3D Tank Track Curvature Setup

This tutorial covers the process of setting up tank tracks in a 3D environment. It begins with an overview of the terrain and the importance of displacement for realistic track interaction. The instructor then demonstrates how to set wheel orientation using 3D cursors and apply shrink wrap constraints to ensure the wheels follow the terrain. The tutorial continues with duplicating and positioning wheels, creating a circular path for the tracks, and finalizing the setup using empties and hooks for animation. The session concludes with a preview of the next lesson, which will focus on animating the tank tracks over the terrain.
