Modelling Project: Tank Continued

05/12/2012



Today I began creating the tires for my tank. I did this by starting with a box and extruding out individual polygons equally as shown below.







































I then added a bend modifier to the object and bended the object on the Z axis to the point shown below.

 I then made a copy of this tire, rotated it 180 degrees and connect the two bent edges together.

 This left me with half a tire, so I used the symettry tool and used the move tool to move the symettry mirror together with the other half. I then collapsed the symettry modifier into the object.


Collapsing the symettry left me with a fully connected tire shaped object. I then moved and scaled the tire to fit the wheel brackets and arches I left on my tank. I then made 3 copies for the other wheels.
