First 3ds max model

polymunkles

Hey guys this is my first 3ds max model as well as my first post here on polycount. im currently working on a high poly lightpost. let me know what you guys think about the wireframes as well as how i displayed my WIP. The majority of the parts are seperate with the inner faces deleted.

just make it one object, merge all the verts, and if its a game model, i dont think you want preview smooth to display it.

It's the high poly so you convert the smooth preview into actual polygons and then bake those details down to the low poly, and it doesnt need to be one object, it's looking good although you may want to bevel some of the tighter edges so that it will bake better, i assume you're intending on creating a low poly and baking these details down, and display wise it's fine, nice and clear, welcome to the forums

thanks for the comments guys and yes mazz thats what im working on now. and as far as the beveling do you mean the edges of the high poly or beveling some of the low poly edges??? i can adjust the control edges on the high to give it an overall more rounded edge if needed.

thanks guys
