That's a cool bullet cam effect. I'm assuming if you have stand-ins for crew that your damage model will kill wound/kill them and affect the tank's performance. Very cool!

I was pointed to GifCam by someone active in the Journal section. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but the described features seem really cool. It's also free so might be worth checking out.

Thanks, my bullet cam effect is heavily inspired by War Thunder Ground Forces. I still think theirs looks better, but I'm fairly happy with my progress. I learned a lot in the process about best ways to swap materials on the fly*, swapping shaders on the fly*, animating shader properties, tweaking shaders, and how to get things to always render on top.

*The answer for both of these was: Don't. I found it easier to either always use the same shader and animate it, or cheat and have two objects with the same mesh and swap which ones get rendered.

I'll have to checkout GifCam.
