Chapter 7: Modeling the T-72 Tank: Basic Shapes

In this chapter, we will create the basic shapes for a T-72 tank. We will use mostly the same techniques we learned in the previous chapters to create a simple version of the tank. We will first model the most important parts of the hull, then we will create a simple shape for the turret, and finally, we will add some wheels.

By the end of this chapter, we will have an outline that we can use as a foundation to create more detailed shapes and objects.
