Texture Transparency on Car/Helmet Models

But the head movement would be terrible, if there is only one axis for 3 helmets :s

right;hans is a not visible part;it's difficult to see it.

That pretty much put's the finalizes that idea, it's transparency or nothing, and that's like 98% not possible too. Oh well....you learn a lot when experimenting Gotta keep pushing the envelope.....where's Geoff when you need him?

If you could ROTATE along an axis in tweaker....


xxxxHxxxx
xHxx=xxHx
xxxxHxxxx

Rotate along the = axis. I would think that this would likely be the most usable option / one that could possibly work. Just would require the proper tool to rotate, which, afaik, doesnt exist.

Lol, i've seen some ideas, but this... this is beyond my imagination...

I don't get you...... what is the "=" axis ??? so the helmets would "Head Bang" rather than rotate left to right ?

Take this doodle as a camera mounted on the nose looking back. Obviously the bottom 3 helmets would be hidden by the car itself, by sidepods and the drivers body, so you would only see one at a time. I would think that would allow you to keep them close enough that the headmovement isn't TOO far off.

Have the helmets all the same distance from the center dot. Then, if you could rotate them somehow....

Nevermind, won't work, the helmet would be sideways on his head anyways. Is it really so bad to have one helmet shape when we only have a 2d wheel anyways?
