i donā€™t know how to subsmurf because i lose the angles of the base and the top (only one mesh), so itsnā€™t smooth :-?
C&C really appreciated :smiley:

Welcome to Elysiun!

It looks good, a little short though. But that may be what your going for. You might want to try hitting ā€œSet Smoothā€ itā€™s in Edit Buttons(F9). That might help with making it smoother. I canā€™t say much about Yafray as I have not had much experience with it.

Keep up the good work!

welcome!

i would add some AO and increase your raytracing resolution! other than that it is great! I am jealous! my first work didnā€™t have reflections or anything! (then again i started in the day when raytracing nor AO were supported!) Keep up the good work! :smiley:

For the red part you may need to ā€œRecalc Normalsā€ and you can do that by selecting it, going into Edit Mode, selecting all vertices and hitting CTRL-N. That should solve the problem.
