How to make Moving Tank Tracks

Hello, I was wondering how I might achieve this effect for my tank tracks:

Is it as simple as every tread is rigged and animated? Or is there an easier way that was used? I also wonder how you calculate how big each tread needs to be and how many. I do not want to use constraints for dynamic tracks, as those would be laggy and I am not going for a realistic look.

It most definitely is an animation. It’s pretty simple to animate tracks in software like blender compared to in Roblox. Here’s a tutorial I found pretty quickly: [2.79] Blender Tutorial: Tank Tracks Animation for Beginners - YouTube

Ok, do you know how I could calculate the size and number of the tracks for what I want?

He does that experimentally in the video. You could always import a reference part from Roblox to know the correct scale of each tread segment.

Alright, thanks for the help with this!
