Pokeball Lesson – Modelling the shell question

Hi everyone,
I’m working through the Pokeball lesson and noticed that in my shell is not looking like the instructors shell. I’ve gone and attempted the Shell twice, and I get the same result and I’m not sure where I might be going wrong.
In the Chapter 2, Lesson 1 – Modeling the Pokéball Shell (8:12), the instructors edges are nice sharp.
But in mine, they’re soft and curvy
In the beginning, I did noticed that I am on 4.1.1 and he is on 4.0 and later 4.1 and a difference I had to Google was I needed to apply “Shade Auto Smooth” but I read in 4.1 and up, this is now called “Shade Smooth by Angle”. Reading online Shade Smooth by Angle is apparently the same as Auto Smooth, but I am seeing a difference in my model.
The only other area I think I may not be doing correctly is the “To Sphere” tool where at this part of the lesson (5:36), after we’ve edited the mesh a bit, we need to ensure it’s back to a sphere again. I applied this, or attempted to, but couldn’t really see if it was working correctly or not.
Anyway, I’m going to try it from scratch again and see if I can spot anything wrong on my side.
Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome!
Cheers
TimGot it looking like it does in the video, but took a few tries to figure it out.
When I did “Object > Shade Smooth” and then a “Modifier > Smooth by Angle” and followed on with the rest of the lesson, when i got to the point in question, it was still the curvy object.
After another attempt, I applied the “Object > Shade Smooth”, followed the lesson up until the point where it had the unwanted curves, and at this point I applied a “Modifier > Smooth by Angle” which sits below the previous Mirror and Solidify modifiers, it then looked like it did on the lesson.
Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
