I'd really recommend bumping the barrel up to 8-sided from its current 6; the extra 6 triangles will really improve the 'roundness' of the barrel at a very small cost.
I use Max 6 because the tools for my current expansion pack project are written for Max 6 and the tool programmers have moved onto support other projects.
The answer for your question is on this video. Starts at 6:00 min. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HjnXfZfD60"]ZBrush Tutorial (Architectural Techniques) - part 6 - YouTube[/ame]
1st review up on ign, they gave it 6/10, ouch. still super interested in trying it out though, the review didn't even list anything super shitty about it justifying a 6.
Yeah Except you just added another 6 polycount triangulating it. which is alot slower than your original 6 polycount :) 12 polycount triangulating it isnt good. not good at all
little off topic, but i love how back then "this is on 6 CD'd!!!" was a positive promotional image and people were hyped about it. nowadays i'm like "6 fucking dvd's? fuck my life..."
Soooo 8pm est = 5pm pst. I wont get home til MAYBE 6~6:30pst traffic depending. But I might be tempted to log on and do a little ground pounding as an engineer.
