Cartoon-ish Barrel

sketchfab

Barrels are an excellent choice for beginners, they're incredibly versatile - you can mold them, flatten them, and they'll still maintain their barrel shape. I attempted to craft a barrel that resembles something straight out of Team Fortress 2 or similar games, but the result may not be convincing as it needs more curvature at the top and bottom. Unfortunately, I didn't bother to add any texture or UV mapping, which is my least favorite task in any modeling software due to the limitations of Autodesk's 3ds Max tools.
