This tutorial will show you how to make caterpillar tracks to use in your projects (tank tracks, industrial tracks whatever) !

Our first concern is to create the mesh that will be replicated along the track.

We begin  with a rectangle shape with rounded edges
 

Convert the shape to editable poly and select the front faces. Extrude them a couple of times
 

Now extrude the back middle face a couple of times too. We do this so when we multiply our mesh it will show as each piece fits the next one
 

Create a cylinder and put it between the extruded faces. Create one for the front and one for the back
 

The next step is to clone (copy) the front cylinder and substract it from our mesh so holes are created . We do the same on the back too.
