Hello, everyone! I'm Sightless, an amateur 3D modeler. I began 3D modeling approximately one year ago, and so far almost everything I know about 3D modeling I've learned through trial and error, experimentation, and occasionally, youtube tutorials. It's long overdue that I join a forum such as this where I can truly begin to develop my skills among many other more experienced 3D modelers. Anyways, to finish my rambling, below is the 3D model of a smoking pipe complete with a (static) smoke effect emanating from the bowl. This is by far the model that I am most happy with that I have ever made, and if anyone has any critiques that could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!
I know that some sharp edges can be seen at the bottom of the bowl, those aren't too big of a concern of mine as I can easily tweak that to make them less and less noticeable.
