[imonfox]

Hi, it's wonderful guitar, lighting and tex are greats and the camera is well-set. :eek:

[Milivoj-Lemonade3D]

[Butsa]

[edcorusa]

The detail is amazing. I love how you captured the feel. The texturing and lighting I think are top notch. Great job.

[Viper]

Excellent work! Except, you forgot to make the spaces between frets 20 and 24 scalopped :)

[valonj]

great work you have done, i like it so much, :buttrock:

[xLonewolfx]

WOW!!


THE EVO!!

6 starts! just because im a big vai fan and owner of a jem7vwh myself

:bowdown:
can u post more renders??

[animatorAtLarge]

Hey Guss,

truly awesome Image, like it very much, especially the textures.
My only crit is that you can see the facets at end of the whammy bar, it's a small thing to pick out of a great image.

cheers

[gu]

WOW!!


THE EVO!!

6 starts! just because im a big vai fan and owner of a jem7vwh myself

:bowdown:
can u post more renders??

Hey, nice to meet here some Vai fans! yeah, the evo. Initially was to be the "flower" patterned JEM, buti decided to represent EVO, I think it´s more traditional.

thank you guys for the nice comments!

gusss

[nado319]

good job ..i like the materials and the rendering ...

[Sevarf2]

Good job! Quality render, very realistic. But if you wanna reproduce the real jem you must include the scalloped frets, the last four!! ;)

[noob-saibot]

WOW! Great scene! Love Vai too! Great represetation of his guitar.

Care to post a wire view please!?

Congrats, great work ;)

[dkpunker]

wow thats beautiful... the texture on the pick guard is very cool, nice job

[Danilo Almeida]

Pretty good stuff. Congratulations.

[TheRobotEye]

Great, GREAT image. But what I really love is your title for it.

[noob-saibot]

Pretty good stuff. Congratulations.

"The audience is listening" is a Steve Vai's song name.

[seventhronin]

Clean render n cool !

[walfrido]

Very beautiful image man!! I really love the textures and render!
That's perfect... 5 stars from me ;)

[TheApostle]

I really like the shading on the pipe and "stage" sign. Keep it up!:bounce:

[Krishk]

Hi, really a baeutifull render and model, i like Vai too, but if i have to build a guitar surely i will do a chrome ibanez of joe satriani, i think vai's master desreve it !

[mdee]

Hi,

- bridge is wrong (look for pictures of LoPro bridge)
- some screws on the pickguard have wrong diameter and color
- last four frets should be scalloped
- Steve got straplocks on Evo
- locking nut screws have wrong diameter
- monkey grip has quite different shape, the top part is too big
- pickups have different screw shape and size
- neck humbucker is too far away from the neck
- middle single coil is too narrow
- there is a lot of minor proportion problems

While the render is really nice, the guitar pictured looks more like $20 e-bay knock-off than real JEM.

[Kuroyume0161]

If my Steve Vai JEM were in that condition - errrrr.... ;) And I don't use plastico picks, I use stone picks (no wear or string cutting). ;;D

A spectacular render! Captures the real thing realistically. But hit the guy who owns that guitar for me, please... :)

Oh, and I agree with the nit-picks of mdee (but I'm not going to quibble).

[Omarios]

the audience will watch too
love ur camera angle choice mate....
5 stars from me

[KrakenCMT]

Dat is one beee-you-teefull git-tar!!

Steve Vai is one of the best. I've got an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat from about 20 years ago. I've always wanted Vai's Ibanez as well.

Nice job!

[savat]

for the love of god...really nice job :)

good the style and some particulars.

[CKPinson]

Absolutely Awesome- great choice of camera angle!

[samisan333]

[mecman]

Grats again mate

[akin]

l love guitars man, good work

[DontBlinkx182x]

Theres not much to say about this piece except that its simply amazing, the angle of your camera really sets off this piece, that and the detail you put into the guitar. One thing I can critique though is your wall textures i dont know if its just me but they look a little flat, other than that small detail you really pulled this one off

[ffourier]

Very realistic render. Perhaps I would tweek a little bit some colours like the red tube or the green "mediator". But overall it's a nice picture. good job man :)

[tddtk]

Special camera angle.:thumbsup:

[Kage06]

Loving it :D

Very realistic looking with all the damages, and all the details. Very well done :beer:

[FAlcom]

Nice Details, great work! And thoes textures... uh :)

[Bona_Jr.]

perfect work! ...light, texture, model, camera angle, wow....
congrats!!!

[xuyong]

great work ！

[3DMadness]

Really amazing work, 5 stars!

Contratulations!

Flávio

[rmejia]

Very nice guitar !

[Jzbass25]

This is very good, I am learning 3d design and yours shows a mastery of the art. A couple things to comment on, if you want it more like the real Evo yes as someone else said the scalloping on the 21-24 frets, also the tremolo on this model looks like one of the first floyds that came out on the market and Vai uses the edge tremolo on evo that is longer and the place where you use the tools to adjust the saddles with has a lip around it on the edge. http://www.jemsite.com/jem/detail/f_tr_e.jpg 1 Final thing to give it that Evo touch, the pickups saying Evolution on them and on the neck pickup have it upside down like so. http://vai.com/Machines/guitarpages/EVO/images/large_images/electrnx_LRG01.jpg

These are just suggestions, I love this 3d rendering you did I am not dissing you ;) I hope I get this good.

[StephanRiederer]

Fala ae Gustavo! Seus trabalhos são fantásticos! Essa imagem da guitarra está D+++
parabéns mano, grande abraço!

Hey Gustavo! Your works are fantastics! This piece of the guitar is awesome!
congratz dude, see ya!

[gary-smith]

Amazing image, probably the best 3D instrument I have ever seen before haha. Great job overall, and those are some remarkable details on the guitar. Brilliant work =]

5 stars

[xpdream]

Vai?Amazing work,Vary nice guitar.

[a13xr3d]

How unbelievably frickin' awesome! The rendering and modeling is pure flawless, and that's the very guitar that I've dreamed of getting. Nice.

[louis6]

i am also fan of Steve Vai, amazing done man!!!

[DKScully]

Isn't that weird that I just put Steve Vai albums in Winamp and same time I opened this topic?

Very nice!!!...

I awalys wanted to finish my SG but never got to it, may be one day :)

[SamChen]

Superb job! I'm a guitarist myself.. so I can appreciate how you got the nuances just right. The wear and tear.. and the pearly pick guard, and the various metallic finishes.

Have you shown this to either Mr.Vai himself.. or Ibanez? Perhaps you should do renderings for Ibanez especially their future guitars. Keep it up! You have tremendous talent! Steve Vai should give you a signed guitar for this tribute. Your next project should be Satriani's guitar.. or SRV's beat up strat.

[Ginsu]

Fantastic work! My only sugestion though is to blur the Background a little bit. The Bg (Especially that red pipe) takes too much attention from the guitar.

[KingAldin]

this is the coolest camera angle that i saw in a long time and u puled it off. WOW WOW WOW it look amazing.


Great job dude

Great Job! is that a Tele knob for the volume control? I use a Tele Volume knob on my Strat, makes it really easy to do swells and fades.

[MarcoTomaselli]

[jcw7766]

This piece is awesome. Can you give some specifics on how you did the inlay on the neck, the lighting, and the camera angle?

Thanks,
Clark

[hydesign]

As a fellow Steve Vai fan, I am amazed at how real that looks.

[itachi46]

Hey, nice to meet here some Vai fans! yeah, the evo. Initially was to be the "flower" patterned JEM, buti decided to represent EVO, I think it´s more traditional.

Title: The audience will listen 1990
Name: Gustavo Groppo
Country: Brazil
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop, VRay

Hello friends!
This is my newest 3d work.
The theme is one of my favorite guitar players: Steve Vai.
The idea was to rebuild his Ibanez JEM guitar perfectly, with all the details on it, such as the "EVO" name written on the body and the "konx" tape on the pick ups, the plant inlay on the scale and of course all the components.
As always a fusion of max and Vray.
I hope you like it and waiting to share comments.
cheers

[EdwinValera]

I love it! :love: the attention to detail and the smooth and realistic looking surfaces, the lighting and background are flawless and the design of the guitar is perfect it looks just like the original. I like the touch that you added to it by putting it on a stand and the glossy metal effect gives it just the right touch to the artwork.

[Tuor]

more than 2 years that this thread is on the forum and there's still answers. why don't you come and comment my works ?? fucI< it !!!

[Jeremy2112]

Great Job! is that a Tele knob for the volume control? I use a Tele Volume knob on my Strat, makes it really easy to do swells and fades.

I would imagine that might help with accidentally knocking the volume down mid-performance. That would be my ONLY grip about a strat; the ease in which that seems to happen to me.

[zhouyang]

very nice work!
