this is my fifth guitar and I dont want to skip\hide any mistakes >_>

thx in advance



Well, there's a coincidence! I can't see any images from that (non direct) link... but you shouldn't have any trouble making tuner bits in c4d hypernurbs. Take some photos and import them in as 'template' images into the relevant window using 'configure'. I usually make the images square as its easier to size them and keep correct proportion.

On the window 'bar' go- Edit/Configure. There you will see- Background- Picture, where you can import a bitmap to use as a guide to modelling objects.
Judging by the images (no offence intended) you are a newcomer to 3d. You need to learn more about hypernurbs for constructing organic type objects.

The images attached in your rar file only show what's on the C4D file
and are useless as it only shows where "you" are with the model.

I suggest you post a reference photo of the part that you would like help with.
Something like the image attached.

It's unfair to ask for help and expect the "helper" to do the research for your model.

Im sorry I didn't know :S
anyway thx vid2k2, I've been searching for a close up picture of that part
and to Martin K, yea thats what I do, except I use "Background", give it a pic as meterial and use 2D axis to draw splines or put points for polygon object... oh yea this is much easier!thx! :D and yea, Im new :S

thx anyway guys, I'll try my best at this
