Anima

@CerberaI then tried adding some texture

@CerberaThanks for all the help! I managed to get to here. I just have to finish it by creating the hole on the bottom. I did the mesh checker and optimize. I had no idea there was a tool like this in C4D. That was really useful to know axe3rdtryisthecharm.c4d

After doing it, I got this. Is this an actual triangle? If so, how do I fix it? It's on the top and bottom Oops. I forgot to upload the c4d file axe3rdtryisthecharm.c4d

How do you zero-scale them flat like that? How do i make it perfectly flat like you did?

Ciao Stefano, benvenuti. Sono un ragazzo americano e ho origini italiane. Vivo in Italia in Lombardia da un anno e sono contento che ti sia unito a noi. A presto! Hi Stefano, welcome. I am an american and I have italian origins. I have lived in Italy for one year and I'm happy you could join us. See you soon

Ok thanks for the feedback. I gave it another shot. The end came out a little weird again. I'm trying to mess around with the points to get rid of the misaligned edges . Posted the c4d file axe3rdtryisthecharm.c4d

I really appreciate all the help i'm getting here. I started over since I accidently did everything in the right view instead of the top view and I wanted to get some extra practice to get some more XP. After making the shape of the shaft again I ended up getting these triangles. How do i properly resolve triangles and make them into quads? I watched some videos online but I'm not really getting it. I tried cutting a line but that wasn't effective it seems like. I uploaded my c4d file Axenew.c4d

And then I did one with and without loop cuts/inset and got this result. Thanks for the tips

I did a little experiment to see the effect of caps and no caps before and after subdivision. Here was the result

How did you get the object to be in a nice black background like this pic?

ohhh, thanks! Once I finish I will post what I did to get feedback.

I just realized I had the reference picture in the right view instead of the top view this whole time 😳. Gonna fix that

I tried following what you said. When you say SDS object do you mean the green subdivision surface things or do you mean something else? I noticed mine has more polygons than yours after doing the subdivision
