Here are animated texture tank tracks! originally drawn in illustrator by Adam, I have animated the still image in Flash by converting parts of the image to symbols and distributing them across multiple layers. by Motion tweening the majority of the parts the animation has worked out incredibly smooth(despite the many pratfalls along the way trying to get it to work).
By using masks i have hidden large tread pin lines so you can only see the ones on the tank. unfortunately using motion paths did not work in tandem with the masking so one method or the other had to be used. Masking was faster and gave good results where the motion path required every individual tread pin to be guided by hand. This was not going to be time efficient given the looming deadline so masking was chosen.
The tank tracks, tread-pins, wheel highlights and wheels have all been animated.
