Looking pretty nice already - let's have some dive-bombing! Can't decide if it's supposed to be full-on chrome (needs HDRI?) or a more grey colour? Usually see chrome or black... (or gold)


I'd send you my speed modelling challenge guitar for an upgrade but I gave it slightly unusual 'fixed' bridge with thro' body stringing instead of tailpiece!


Like the guitar finish too....

N I C E! This picture makes my pickin' fingers ichy! I never really did get the hang of string benders like this (although I could never afford an ax with Floyd Rose gear on it either!). I've always prefered a fixed bridge.


This is a tasty bit of modelling though - very nice. As Nez sez ... er says, the chrome looks a little flat. I'd recommend upping the r4eflectance a little and providing some sort of image for the chrome to reflect - even if the image itself is not seen it will give more real looking chrome.


Are you building the whole guitar?

Dang, looks like the board ate my previous post..


Anyways, here's last nights version. Looking a little better.

I'm not sure how far I'm going to take it. Problem with doing these closeups is because of the angle of the camera there needs to be other stuff in the frame for it to look natural (I was going to stop at the trem, but then the pickup got interesting :) ).


I'm thinking some controls might be appropriate, and at that point might as well do a body.:D
