Les Paul Guitar Gold Top

Its no where near as complicated as I described it. It will remove ALL your topo errors. It is also likely faster than what you are doing. If u are happy with your results than thats ok. They arent bad. But if you would like I can probably SHOW YOU how to model the whole body topo error free in less than the 10 minutes I took to write it out for you.

Its really not that cmplicated. You just have to look at the whole body as 3 circles instead of a plane with concave and convex edges.

Show me then

Show me then

awesome. ill record it real fast. and like i said its just a suggestion that will probably clean up a lot of your topolagy. it does appear you worked out a lot of topolagy errors, but it might be just a little rough around the edges no pun intended. post back soon

thankyou

[ThorntonStrolia]

finishing up. compressing the video now. there was a little making stuff up on the fly once i realized that after 3 years i had forgotten 1 or 2 things of how i did it last time

O… M… G… “cannot compress audio. export canceled” i might have to hurt somthing. i model a perfectly good les paul TWICE in 30 minutes and this is what happens… lol

[ThorntonStrolia]

ill have another go in a minute or so

[sn1py101]

oh god :L im thinking of now modelling a marshall amp and making this into a scene. what do you think?

[Magnavis]

^^Makes sense

[sn1py101]

did you like the newest render peter18?

[ThorntonStrolia]

i like the idea. i got the video put together and am uploading it to youtube. im sry i was playing around with a new concept cuz i forgot how i did it 3 years ago 100% … Anyways, ill post the link when i have it for you.

well after i realized i forgot how i modeled the rythem switch portion XD… it came up to about 30 minutes… sry… lol. It should NOT take you as long as it took me, i ended up recording a bit of my trial and error along the way which slowed me down.

i have to head out to an Appt. and the store but when i get back it should be done uploading to youtube and i will share it with you all.

Hey there Sn1py101

I see you’ve been coming along with the project. I agree with what others have said regarding topology, from seeing your wire it was clearly in need of work and you seem to have improved on it. It still needs a bit more but it’s coming along:D

Lovin the idea of putting it in with a marshall amp, JCM800 would be my choice

[sn1py101]

Thanks only learning as i go along, getting back into blender as i seen the new cycles render engine i thought it was worth a go And yes i was thinking the exact same amp! if only i had enough money to actually buy one :L

[ThorntonStrolia]

hey. i havent forgotten about the vid… only at 76% compiled >.<

[ThorntonStrolia]

here you all are.
