So I've tried making tanks in Maya a few times and the biggest problem I run into is the tracks. Not only do they end up being incredibly high poly, but getting the shape right and having them form to the road and drive wheels is pretty difficult. Right now what I usually do is recreate a single tred from a reference image and then duplicate it over and over to make up the whole track and then mirror the track as whole. There must be a more efficient and reliable way to do this. Any and all advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
