Description:
Building on the incredible track record of APCs such as the legendary Striker, the RHINO APC is an advanced-technology carrier designed to transport troops into the heart of the battle at high speed.
Featuring digital reactive armor and a remote-operation six barrel Dillon Aero Gatling gun, the RHINO APC can carry up to eleven soldiers and the driver safely into action at high speed.
Four armored cameras allow the vehicle to be operating at any time of day and night and maintain 360 degree vision, with powerful zoom facilities.
The foam-filled tires can take direct hits without deflating.
=============
There is an empty called mainEmpty that the vehicle parts are parented to. Move that, and so does everything else. There are various emptys used for mirroring etc. Move them with caution.
Two styles of wheels, one on either side of vehicle.
Still needs some proper rigging for wheels, gun, cameras, spotlight and door. Feel free to do so and upload under your own name - attribution would be nice.
Due to a problem with Cycles mishandling UVs, I was unable to work on proper textures, so everything is procedural.

Written December 11, 2012Is there any chance this will be fixed soon? I'd kind of like to use it as a model for a vehicle in a pen and paper rpg system. I'd like to use the vehicle rules to create this is a rpg system I like.

Written September 19, 2011Now you see why working at speed is inadvisable!
There are some things that need tidying up, but right now I don't have the time for it. When I do, then all those ghasterly things will be sorted out.
Then again, if you fancy doing it, then go ahead! There are loads of cool things that can be done with this model. Guns, rockets, weird things that get bolted on to odd places. Interior. Actually, the funnest thing has got to be doing the interior. Loads of work, though.

Written September 25, 2011Gregzaal, the engine is Cycles. Unfortunately the UVs are broken at the moment, which is something I posted about on Blenderartists. Once the Cycles problem has been rectified I will try to produce some painted textures.

Written September 25, 2011Hmm I've always heard of people having problems with UV's in cycles, but I've always been able to use them since the first windows release.

Written October 14, 2012Try opening it with an earlier version, or wait until I have some time to deal with it :-)
Lin2010, when I have the time to finish off this model to the level I want it at, I will try to add an optional 40mm remote turret as well. That way, you can choose to be as bad as you want.
