Nice waork!!!

Nice work PaQ.

Could you talk a little about how you modeled the arched upper surface of the guitar's body? I've tried to do this a few time in the past using lofts and/or networks, but I always seem to end up with little ripples and kinks here and there. Your surface looks very smooth.

Hi Steve, one thing that can help to make smoother surfaces is to not try to do a loft or network that tries to use a tightly curved boundary directly within the initial surface creation. That can sort of apply a lot of pressure onto the generated surface and that will tend to make for more ripples and bunching in it.

Instead try to build something with an extended more rectangular like layout and then get the curved boundary by trimming that surface. See here for an example:

nice work :)

Thanks guys,

I've miss Michael post about how to create this kind of shape, so I had to find a solution by myself.
I just deform a network plane by hand, then trim it with the body profile ...





Hi Paulo, looks like I have trashed you mail by mistake, I'll reply you asap.

Clever!

I must remember that one.

PaQ and Michael,

Thanks for the tips on forming these surfaces. I'll give them a try on my next project.
