Hi Twinsnakes,

I guess I could email you the model if you are interested to check it out.
I will have to finish it first thought! :)

Regards,

Marc

Hello!

I found some time to finish the instrument.

The top body loft isn't quite straight, but nothing a couple clamps and glue can't fix.

I've struggled the most with the head, although the chinrest was a challenge for me.
I really learned a lot through the process.


Regards,

Marc

Very nice Marc !

I hope you plan to do a render in another application now. I'd really like to see this one with materials applied on it !

Congrats for the model.

Thanks for the comments!

Schbeurd, I would indeed like to render this model eventually.

Pilou, At one point I have experimented with line and selection colors and It stayed this way, don't know why though...maybe the blue line makes better high-pitched notes :o)

Michael, thanks! I don't believe I could've modeled such a project this easily in an other application.


Regards,

Marc

How'd you do the strings wrapped around the pegheads? They look really good how you made them uneven like a real violin.

(I am a guitarist so I noticed this right off the bat.)

Hi angeliclight, thanks for the comments! I used a helix that I joined to a polilyne.
Afterwards I swept a circle across the path.

I used different turn numbers and different widths on the helix to make it look more natural.

Younger I've studied a while in instrument making, it was quite interesting.

Regards,

Marc

You say "younger" you studied instrument making.

I am in my 76th year. What do you mean in relation to younger/as now?

Hi Brian, I was referring to my school days which seems far to me today...
While studying arts, I got interested in sculpture and woodcraft and took courses in instrument making.
I didn't make any violins but an acoustic guitar.

Everybody was younger once! :)

Regards,

Marc

Hi Smitty,

I'm not quite sure what you mean, do you want to create a path for a CNC router?

Regards,

Marc

I am trying to create a spiral simular to the violin head except it would be cut into the piece, instead of being raised like the violin head (same style) typical to gun engraving or monogram engraving (see top section of engraved gun picture)

Hi pat, you will need to create some curves that are kind of like a hoop pointing upwards to use as the profile curves for your sweep, to give it the kind of of shape that you are looking for.

Like for instance the image shown here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=768.2

You may need to draw these in the front view so that they are upwards, and then move and rotate them into place before sweeping. I can give you an example if you want to post your .3dm file that has your curves in it.

But this kind of relief type work is not a particularly strong area for MoI - you will probably get better results with less work if you use a program that is specifically designed just for making relief type designs, like ArtCAM for instance.

You might also be interested in the ZSurf program which will create a relief type surface from an input bitmap, where height is controlled by the brightness of the image, so you use gradient fills to create bumps and things: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=602.7

- Michael
