Ok i wanted to try to make a weapon for halo. So i decided to make a Paintcan. I plan to have decals that come out, so you will be able to tag things.
Well it isnt skinned, but here it is.
Oh yeah, This is my first, so if you can tell me ways to improve i will try my best
.
Thanks!

compare it to this
this is how top SHOULD look.
also side so the can should not have little indents on top and bottom like yours do. its best to model something when you have a reference. im not saying this sucked. im just saying it could be much better.[/list]

Ok...well i tried to raie the edges, but i cant tesselate the top. so the top i left (until i can add more vertices), but i did update the rounded top.

no realy any difference. a little but not much. why not just start again. its not that much of a model. start a new model and plan out were your gonna need your polys as best you can before you start.

I started using uuh...
Tubes or something. cylinders maybe?
IDK, so it gave me the polys already.
I dont get how to make vertices and faces.

It looks good, just needs to be stretched out more, less bulky.

less bulky?

It looks a little thick, I personally would either make it longer or make it thinner.
