looks ok for a first model.. i have two tips for you:

1. post in the gallery if you are showing your models!
2. you can't use it in wc3, way too high poly ;)

by reading tutorials;

http://www.ronniet.demon.co.uk/Tutor...xModelling.htm <-- note, this tutorial is high poly, so just do it, but don't use the mesh smooth
http://momm.seiken.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=44

And the tutorial section here at wc3 campaigns... if you can't see it, it's to the left of user cp ;)

can you atleast show wires? right click on "perspective" and choose wireframe.....

i don't think so, it is way too circular, and is the back, one cylinder? or a couple of flat planes?

agreed... but maybe he has turned on mesh smooth and stuff so it looks more high poly than it really is (even if i can see it's too high poly, it can be less high poly than it looks like)

EDIT: a tip is to make a box where you sit (dunno the name of it ;)) instead of some half moon-like thing. that detail will NEVER be noticed ingame.. And remember that it's the skin that will add most of the details :)

hmm yes, sometimes for high poly models it's good to use plugins like model cleaners, sometimes it can drastically decrease vertexes, i'd say that chair is over 2000 right now. a box where you sit? you mean just make it a rect prism?

It's a chair. Nothing new, but, it's kind of good for your your first model.
