first architectural tutorial

Post by brent kjernisted »

I've just finished the first architectural tutorial of the greek column. There are only about 8 faces around the column. How can I get more faces and is their a shader (phong tag) I can put on the object to reduce the facets? Thanks!

Right click the primitive cylinder icon and set the number of faces higher. In Model you'll get a pop-up panel and in Workspace use the Stack to adjust these settings.
Is that what you're after?

Set the shader to smooth to reduce faceting.

Spacekdet thanks for your help. After I changed the number of longitudinal sections I had to figure out that I neede to hit the subdivide button again. Both your suggestions worked like a charm!
