Oblivion Munitions Planter

#1

First time poster/3D modeler - literally no experience except the occasional attempt. So i thought i would start with something simple like the old munitions shell from the movie - Oblivion.

  • I apologize for the rendered model photo, still havent figured out how to properly set the render setup or lighting.

Right now it looks like near the bottom of your object Max is trying to show the model being smoothed thru lighting.

You can fix that by adjusting the smoothing groups of your model but what will make it look much better is just to select all the edge loops on all your hard edges and do a slight bevel.
