THOMAS' PURPLE TANK OF DOOM

Thomas made a really cool modification of the tank model in class this week.  It's transparent.  And, it has only two wheels.  Here's a render of the tank on the moon's surface.  Cool tank Thomas!
 Here's another picture that I rendered with a clay material so you can see the details better.
Thomas asked me to convert it to FBX format so that he could load it into the game. Here's the FBX file.  And here's the original GMAX file.

One thing you should be careful of when you load this model.  Since some of the parts were removed from the original tank model, the source code will probably choke when it tries to load those missing parts.  So, you may have to do some modifications to the source code before it will load this tank FBX file.  Here's the tank parts hierarchy of original tank.  I think the game source code is going to try to load each of those part names shown in the picture.   So, you will have to go through the source code and remove the parts that try to load or manipulate those part names.

Awesome looking tank, Thomas!
