Old Wine Barrel
I need again your advise. Want to model such an old wine barrel for a game. Would you start out with a cylinder, a pipe or maybe just only with one plank and bend it, then duplicate special all the rest around?
Taking a cylinder it increase my polys tremendously, if I keep down the subdivision the barrel is not round but squared.
Any good idea?
You all, Happy New Year and healthiness!

I tried both methods and I prefer Chavfister one. In order to save some polys I have not modeled out the metal rings. Instead draw them in Photoshop as texture and used a bump/normal map to give them some depth.
Thank you all.
