Third Model - Target

For my third model I am making a target for my machine gun to fire at, I was going to make a person as the 12 barrel machine gun was designed to take down several enemy troops at one time. I decided to make a target instead as it's easier to make, and i can have several lined up in my animation to show what the machine gun was made to do in target form. 

To make the target itself is very simple and only takes a few steps to achieve. I began by making a frame to hold the target in place and converting them to editable poly mesh to narrow the tops so they fitted in place.
 


Once the frame was in place I placed a small cylinder through each part to act as a pin.




I then Built the bottom half of the frame to support the target and placed another cylinder pin at the back. The frame is now complete and ready for materials.




 I used a plain wood texture for the frame and increased the tiles to reduce stretching.




I then made a large cylinder and positioned onto the frame.




Now that the target is in place i added thin tubes and used the align tool so that the yellow circle is exactly in the center of the larger cylinder. I then changed the colours on the target accordingly and grouped the target to the frame so that i could clone.




Using the array tool i then cloned the target four times to show how i want my target to look in my animation.
