Animated Lamp Base Mesh Geometry

[Chrisram03]

This is the geometry I get with ALT + F. It looks kind of complicated relative to older versions of Blender. Is there a way to make a cleaner mesh?

This is the rendered mesh base in Eevee. I am not seeing much difference between Eevee and Cycles on my machine so I’m mostly posting the Eevee renders to speed the process.

Good looking base, onwards and upwards!

• Manually “Dissolve loops”
• Or using a modifier.
• Or less nodes on your bezier curve and lathe steps.

Basically, a tube with 6 vertices (faces) and a subdivision modifier is enough.

I’ll give that a try. Thank you.
