Thanks a lot! I don't, unfortunately, but I have some links at Blender Artists showing the work in progress of this one as well as my Gibson SG, if that will help.

well.... I am an old rock guitar player from way back. been playing just about all my life. I just discovered an old video from the 70's on you tube of me and my old band playing in northern VA.......... anyway......Β right now I play an Ibanez . always loved the gibson SG though. this work on the explorer is dead on. the re-work you did on the bridge looks like the old tone-a-matic bridge to me. my only problem with this render is you have the action set a little too high for my taste.......lol

Thanks! Yeah, tone-a-matic it is indeed! Yes, the action escaped me a bit there, probably from staring at this thing for days on end

way wow! notmy kind of guitar (iΒ΄m not into rock music) but a cool depiction,Β especially loving the shadow of the grid, which is one of my main themes in photomanipulation...

I love this so much. looking at buying a new acoustic right now.

I think you need to tighten the truss rod and the bridge just a bit though..... the action on that is gon be prety slow. general rule of thumb is 5 frets in, a "hard"" pick should barily hold its self up between the fret devidor and the top 3 strings. if it falls than your action is gon be slow, if it is hard to put in or take out you are gonna hear buzzing. it looks to me as if you could fit 2, maybe even 3 picks in there which means your gonna have to work to push the strings down, and the riffs up at the top of the neck are gonna leave marks in your fingers for days.

Realism is prety damn spot on, and inspiring for me to make my own as a side project while i get back in the groove of things myself.

Thanks! I suppose it could, but it's REALLY high poly, so I personally wouldn't attempt it

Might be a trick of the light playing on the reflections, but you happen to be using Freestyle in this one?Β  Everything seems to have some sort of outline.

Oh, and pretty kickass modelling by the way.Β  About how many hours did you sink into this thing?

VickyM72 In reply to Cold-wall [2013-07-25 17:11:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! No Freestyle on this one, I faintly combined the regular render with one I did using only edge. Not sure how many hours I worked on it, I was off and on with it for a few days. Here's the WIP thread at BlenderArtists if you are interested in the evolution:
