Yeah try to look this stuff up on the wiki. Everything you need to know is on there or on the web. If you can't find it or its taking too long then ask. Also you get side information which can be super handy.

In sort you need more segments in you cylinder, so make it 60 sides for a try, and Pera has some good low poly methods for this stuff as I recall. Still machines and drive space are less of an issue so adding more geo is fine, but could in the long run be harder to change or work with. So just keep going, you'll find your solution/method that works best for you

hi, thanks for your reply.Its been a 2-3 years I couldn't figure out this problem.I always stuck while giving details on the cylinder.It would be great if you can provide some blog link.

I know it can be a bit daunting to go look in such an enormous thread @jayantbhatt007 , but if you're serious about modeling you should go through it and you'll find that you'll end up learning a lot more than before. If these kind of threads get answered frequently, the board would eventually fill up with similar stuff, and that'd be chaos. And if modeling is not your thing and you just want to get this done and move on, posting a thread here is not the way! Anywya, here's one last link to help your search.
