Reuben.F Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi folks. Here's a model i've been working on and off for the past few years and is almost finished, here are a few render tests for materials and mesh. You can view full size images in my photostream, spot the mistake on the strings ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben.F Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi guys thanks ! Yes its been on the backburner for a long while but its turning out pretty good, i'm almost finished, just a few more bits and tweeks :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJoly Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can almost hear it... Beautiful instrument. I fiddle around with a little harmonica but I don't feel the urge to model it... Maybe I should learn to play guitar, waaaay more cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should learn to play guitar, waaaay more cool! Do it Richard :shy: I have some final renders here.... There are some more in the photostream. A few things... i wanted to add some dirt to the fingerboard but perhaps went slightly overboard with that, doesn't show too bad on all shots, but they are unfinished maple boards which stain with dirt quite easy so its not so unrealistic, my own real one looks the same until having a good clean. The dirt map on the fingerboard was bleeding over the sides even with z-negative turned off, not sure if a bug... but again, not really an issue. I did struggle with finding or creating a good bump map for the lower heavy strings, it looks ok at distance but not for close-up shots. I decided not to alter the lighting, one area light and one radial, i used the mforge shader for all metals plus some carefully selected HDR reflection maps, everything else uses texture maps apart from the tuning knobs.. NX shader. Any thoughts ? Comments or questions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Houtzager Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hmmmm, I would go worn everything or all newish. You have just the fingerboard worn, but the main body could be worn showing bare wood, the chrome could be nicked, a few dings here and there to match the fingerboard. The all newish version rocks.

Reuben.F Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yes Steven, looking at the images on the iPad it looks like a mistake now, I need to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
