Overgrown_Well

So here is an overgrown well.
It is meant as a doodad and therefore no animations.

There are two shading errors on the stairs and I have no idea why. I have tried all the methods I know of to get rid of them.

Anyway. Hope you can make use of this well.


Update 1:
-Fixed the shading errors

Beutiful model, good job! I tried to make a tower in such style, but in vain)

Thanks man :)

The shading errors are because of a misplaced normal on one of the vertices of the triangle that is shaded. You can fix it easily in MdlVis, just click the face to select it and then do "reverse normals".

That's what I thought. But after thoroughly checking I was unable to find the cause. However simply smoothing did the trick, of all things...
Thanks for the heads up.

Edit:
Oh! The model has been updated. No shading errors anymore.
