Fantastic Render, a great piece of art, the looks very realistic, but I think it looks better if you put change the texture of the floor and put a texture like wood texture or similar.
Very good modeling and texturing of guitar.

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

nice one, I know nothing of guitars, :shrug: so I can't comment on its accuracy, but I'm sure its right on. :thumbsup:

Did you use renderable splines for the strings?

[ptaverner]

Thanks for having a look. :) Yes, I used renderable splines for the strings. :)

I like the model but I see one thing that is off. On the top half of the body that strats bend a little bit inward. You might have it so i just cant see the bend but if not please add it =D

Thanks for checking it out guys. I don't call this piece a Strat because it's not hence the bits that don't look like a Strat. Here's a few close-ups of detail...

Ok, I have a guitar myself (Ibanez SA-160 :buttrock: ) and I think your model kicks ars! It is so incredibly detailed! Nice work!

Kan you post a wireframe? Or at least tell me how you made it?

[ptaverner]

Thanks armageddon_2k1. :)

I made it with a mix of box modeling and splines. I used splines for the main body, pick-ups, input, whammy, machineheads and strings. Everythingelse was box modeled. I'd make it better now if I made a new one. I made this last year and have learned so much in the time that's passed.

Take a shot at modeling your guitar. If you run into any problems, drop me an e-mail and I'll see if I can help you along. :)

I cant really tell from that angle, but it appears you dont have the tuning knobs on there. If so, i'd love to see a detail of the top. Excellent work!

[warhead]

Great, i like the attention to detail!
But I think the body is a little bit too reflective.

Yeah, the angle does hide the knobs. ( you can just about see one if you look closely ) I'll see if I can spit out a top view tonight sometime and post it. :) Maybe while I'm in there I'll update the paint job! :)

Thanks for having a look. :)

[ptaverner]

Here's that top view. I'm rendering some other views also.
I've changed the paint texture.

Very very nice again! I'm trying to model my Ibanez right now. I'm using boxmodeling combined with meshsmooth, but I'm not realy satisfied. I think I'll try splines now.

offtopic:
Do you play guitar by the way? And if you do..what sort of music do you play?
I'm a beginner (4 months now), but really eager (spelled right?) to learn. I can play some Metallica songs now (Enter Sandman, From Whom The Bell Tolls) and almost every Rammstein :buttrock: song, except 4. :applause:
