#

the guitar in the photo is the one i'm referencing (i've had almost exactly the same guitar before). i'm gonna post my progress here and eventually i'll post the final render

#

my progress as of today (i'm already too tired to continue so i left it as it is

#

#

Looks epic 🔥

tender furnace Jun 8, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

ty

#

bends on the deck and fretboard were hell to make

#

haha lol

#

what a coincedence

#

also a cort?

#

the guitar in the photo is cort

#

do you have cort too?

#

or just the same formfactor?

#

nice

tender furnace Jun 8, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

i think i'll remake the neck tmrw

#

it seems easier than to fix all the problems i now see after the shower

little iris Jun 9, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

Oooo looks awesome

tender furnace Jun 9, 2023, 7:04 AM

#

I rather love forms than companies

#

Strats my beloved

#

Les Pauls are also cool tho

#

Can‘t really say, i didn’t have my guitar for long enough to even properly grasp the difference

#

I just know that they work differently

#

Damn i have so much to do once i‘m home

#

I should completely remake the neck

#

It’s geometry 1) sucks ass and 2) it‘s not modeled properly

#

By 2) i mean that the head is too much to the right

#

My? Lemme think

#

Smth around 320 euros

#

What is your friend playing?..

#

Zamnn

#

The sound must be fire

#

Hahaha

#

Yeah

#

Had an acoustic like that

#

I‘ve started with it actually

#

Only like 40 bucks lmao

#

It was so ass

#

holy shit

#

mad respect

quaint stirrup Jun 9, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

looks pretty good

tender furnace Jun 9, 2023, 10:02 PM

#

my fucking god why is this fucking neck so hard to make

#

i'm literally re-making it from ground zero cuz somehow my normals got all messed up and i gave no idea how to fix that

#

fucking hell

tender furnace Jun 9, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

honestly the longer i work on this one the more problems i see in it

#

who let yesterdays me cook

#

i would honestly just delete it but i can't take making all of these bends all over again

#

so i'm gonna finish it at least as it is for now

#

and maybe my next project will be better

tender furnace Jun 10, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

this is my most hated project as of today.

#

i make so much progress and learn to make some of the best topology i can to this date, fix my mistakes and all, BUT i fucking forget to add some smallest mf detail and when i finna notice it - it's already beyond the rabge of reverting everything with 'ctrl+z' and will consume HOURS to fix

#

oh my fucking god

#

this one is the most frustrating yet

#

anyways at the very least i mostly fixed the neck, just gotta tweak it tmrw

stoic helm Jun 10, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

Well that's good that you fixed it

#

You got this buddy 💪

tender furnace Jun 10, 2023, 11:38 AM

#

Aww ty guys so much, it‘s really pleasing to hear. Imma go work on the neck a little before i go out and send the result here

tender furnace Jun 10, 2023, 12:07 PM

#

i finna fixed this bish🔥🔥🔥

#

the clays with subdivision applied (smooth and curvy)

#

the topology behind the curves

#

phew

#

i'd also fix some of the deck topology but it works way better than the previous iterations of this mf neck so i'll leave it in peace

#

now i just gotta finish the whole model and render it

tender furnace Jun 11, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

progress as of today

#

still got the bridge and some smaller details to go

#

but in general i think the modeling part is around 80% done

#

a slightly better look at the deck

#

oh shit i just remembered that i will have to uv unwrap this bish

stoic helm Jun 12, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

Yay 😁

#

That's good news

minor dagger Jun 12, 2023, 5:45 AM

#

Damn dat looks nice

tender furnace Jun 12, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

Thank you guys for the support! I’m a lil busy this week tho so there’s a chance i will update the progress quite rarely

tender furnace Jun 12, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

imma prob stream some of mz process on vc, if anybody is interested - please join

civic cloud Jun 12, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Thats a smooth model ngl

tender furnace Jun 12, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

finally finished with the tuning pegs (for today) ((they were absolute hell to make, i didn't feel the proportions of them and still messed them up a lil)). i'm gonna tweak them a little the next time i have this opportunity, so they actually look like they should do

elder surgeBOT Jun 12, 2023, 10:41 PM

tender furnace Jun 12, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

leave me alone bruh

#

thats my blog

#

Holy shit i’ve just looked in the mirror and my eyes are BLACK

#

literally

#

I’m a mf panda rn

#

I didn’t even notice how tired i’ve become while working

#

holy shit if this one doesn’t turn out to be a complete banger i’m gonna become a fortnite tryhard

#

Also would indeed be nice to see someone who actually knows what’s he doing and rate my works

#

Cuz other way i can’t understand what am i doing wrong smh

tender furnace Jun 13, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

adjusted the tuning pegs a little so they are in the right position, added both bridges and tweaked smth else (can't remember what). So far the Guitar looks like this

#

next time gonna add the tremolo, the jack-port and the strings

#

and some other smallest of details that i forgot to add

tender furnace Jun 13, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

damn i think i should tweak the bridge a little.

#

makin this tmrw

gilded forge Jun 13, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

tender furnace adjusted the tuning pegs a little so they are in the right position, added both ...

isn't there supposed to be cingle dots on 3rd fret 5th fret 7th fret 9th fret?

#

I may be misremembering how solid bodies are set up

#

I have an acoustic myself

tender furnace Jun 13, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

gilded forge isn't there supposed to be cingle dots on 3rd fret 5th fret 7th fret 9th fret?

yes, i do have them also, i just put them so close to the fretboards surface that they stopped rendering at such distance. Imma make them a little higher next time i‘ll be working on it

gilded forge Jun 13, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

ahhh

#

I see

tender furnace Jun 14, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

To whoever put the ✨ on this thread: thank you

tender furnace Jun 20, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

got unsuscribed from my own topic bruh

#

anyways imma workin again

#

gotta finish the model today and finna start working on texturing

tender furnace Jun 20, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

update: the model is almost done! just gotta look up the tutorial to put strings on this one and can proceed to texturing

tender furnace Jun 20, 2023, 7:51 PM

#

so uhh i'm in the process of putting strings on this bish but uh... yeah. it gives too much of artifacts in the process. done using the curve modifier. does anybody know a better solution/how to fix those artifacts??

#

aight enough for today, must wake up early tmrw

tender furnace Jun 20, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Honestly can’t wait for this model to be finished and rendered

#

I‘m even bringing my laptop to school tmrw just to work on it in the spare time

#

I feel like i‘m cooking something magnificent with this one

#

(Despite it having a bunch of artifacts)

tender furnace Jun 20, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

In fact it was real this whole time

#

I tricked all of you into thinking it was a 3d model i made 😔😔

#

Also it’s technically possible but i ain’t making that

tender furnace Jun 21, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Finished the strings during classes, i’ll send the results later this evening

#

Also might retopologise the deck since the booleans messed it up quite a bit and it’s causing troubles during texturing

quaint stirrup Jun 21, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

Bro I think you put too much effort on the strings would that be even visible ?

tender furnace Jun 21, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

yes.

#

In all seriousness tho i try to put as much effort into details as possible so that when i actually NEED to work them through or make something similar to what i did with them - i will already know how

#

It’s my way of learning things

tender furnace Jun 21, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

aaaanddddd the clay is finished!!!

#

(i'm still retopologing the deck tho, it causes too many issues)

tender furnace Jun 23, 2023, 11:48 AM

#

Ayy i saw you getting started with blender on #💫-show-off

#

Nice

#

How’s it going for you so far?

tender furnace Jun 23, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

Nice nice, let me know when you’re finished

tender furnace Jul 12, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

ight chef arrived to the kitchen

#

we cookin today

tender furnace Jul 12, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

ok so let`s see

#

i was doing retopo for 4 hours

#

i'm not completely finished but the general idea can already be seen

#

the 'before' - messy tris, awful bevels and booleans that fuck the whole thing up

#

the 'after'

#

still a bit messy but in general i find this one better

#

ima rework it a lil tomorrow since i'm already beyond the point where i can make efficient decisions

tender furnace Jul 12, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

ok one tutorial later this looks like shit

#

we workin

tender furnace Jul 12, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

ok somehow it's even worse than initial

#

i'm reworking it again

#

i hate topology itstrollver_c

tender furnace Jul 14, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

i finna did some semi-proper retopology!

#

the center could use some more work but i already did great imo so i can't be bothered

#

the model is already taking too long to finish

tender furnace Jul 14, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

I DID IT ™️

#

holy shit

#

its not perfect but its so far the best topology i did since i've started

#

all nice, semi-clean and working

#

it looks smth like this when subdivided and i find it beautiful

#

it looks so much better than what i've started with

#

mega proud of myself

tender furnace Jul 15, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

also did a quick pickguard retopo cuz it also sucked

tender furnace Jul 15, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

we cookin materials for this bish 💪💪💪

#

all of them are procedural btw

#

ima tweak them a lil more later, now ima gone to sleep

civic cloud Jul 17, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

Looking really good, keep it up OKAY

tender furnace Jul 18, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

Ayy thanks mate

quaint stirrup Jul 19, 2023, 9:59 AM

#

tender furnace all of them are procedural btw

how do u learn making procedural materials ? nodes so complicated

tender furnace Jul 19, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

quaint stirrup how do u learn making procedural materials ? nodes so complicated

In all honesty - i have no idea

#

They are in fact complicated

#

I an still far from doing mega-complex mats myself but somehow i manage to make my own mats

#

Trial and error method ig

tender furnace Jul 20, 2023, 7:50 PM

#

most of the textures are now finished

#

heck yeah

#

just want to tweak the metal since it looks a lil blunt in comparison with everything else

#

and add some text on headstock and tumblers

#

but overall i consider it finished

#

i'll post the renders here when i'm ready to do so

#

oh yeah also here's the referenced guitar since i've changed my mind midway

#

the structure is a little different cuz i want to make some color variations later and i made it closer to the strat i had myself

tender furnace Jul 21, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

wha_c

tender furnace Jul 24, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

just a message to return the topic to my bookmarks

tender furnace Jul 31, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

finally rendering the final pieces, i'll post the results a lil later

tender furnace Jul 31, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

after almost 2 months of work - this guitar is finally ready

#

also some alt lighting renders

#

phew

#

now i just gotta post it to my portfolio

tender furnace Aug 1, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

Thank you guys! Happy to know all the struggle was worth it in the end

civic cloud Aug 1, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

OKAY

distant hollow Aug 3, 2023, 4:24 AM

sick

gray jacinth Aug 20, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

tender furnace after almost 2 months of work - this guitar is finally ready

I wanna see the topology

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

It should be somewhere here

#

Like a lil higher

#

If not - i’ll send the screenshots in a bit

gray jacinth Aug 20, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

tender furnace If not - i’ll send the screenshots in a bit

I saw it, it looks not horrible, I feel like some of the topology looks a bit messy and maybe too dense in some places. But compared to some of the original topology amazing.

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

gray jacinth I saw it, it looks not horrible, I feel like some of the topology looks a bit me...

Ikr

#

I don’t say it’s perfect but it is some amazing progress for me

gray jacinth Aug 20, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

tender furnace I don’t say it’s perfect but it is some amazing progress for me

Yeah I haven't made a model in quite some time but the last thing I was trying to learn in terms of modeling was good topology, I never got amazing at it but I definitely improved

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

Yeah what i’ve learned during the process already has helped me quite a bunch

#

I did the Bagels plushie model some days ago it was much quicker and easier now

#

And the topology looks quite good too

#

It’s rather simple ofc cuz it’s like

#

Just a torus

gray jacinth Aug 20, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

Let me go find this bagels plushie

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

But it still has some moments

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

gray jacinth Let me go find this bagels plushie

gray jacinth Aug 20, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

It looks good

tender furnace Aug 20, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

I have also uploaded the topology screenshots

#

They weren’t there intill now

austere isle Aug 23, 2023, 8:16 PM

Looks awesome dude!
