Hi Neil,
great to see your efforts with Moi have reaped results.
Cheers

Looks great!

Always fun to see a MoI 3D model translated into a physical object whether it be in wood, metal, foam, or 3D printed plastic.

A couple low res renderings of the body and neck made with MoI3D - looking forward to more challenging endeavors after building this guitar. The body is a tad too thick and a few other things that need to be redesigned for production - but all in all pretty good thanks to the generous sharing of information here.

Hmmm...honestly, not so good those renderings...

They fail to do justice to the very nice and very well done original product!

Bad material setup.

Obviously don't know much about rendering - sorry for the poor quality here are the pictures in MoI.

Very good modelling!!

And about renderings...no one is born knowing everything :)
A very good knowledge of the rendering' principles takes months to be learned...and a lot, lot of practicing :)

Thank you for all the input and suggestions Marco! Well noted.

This is so awesome, being able to build the entire guitar as it was modeled in MOI! Seeing this I'm starting to think that NURBS modelling is actually the better paradigm (even for semi-organic shapes), if one can "escape" the polygonal mindset.

a few improved renders - using SimLab free edition.

Hello!

A pretty simple material setup, but very nice render this time :)

Thanks Marco, Yes - still not great - but better - have a lot to learn :)

You're welcome.

Anyway, beyond the rendering, it's a very good 3d model.

I don't remember well but maybe in Simlab Composer there's some procedural material that doesn't require UV map.

Check it out.

For very quick rendering with simple material setup, but anyway with a very good quality, I often use the "Shaders" in 3D-Coat.
They don't require any UV map and are applied directly to the hi-poly mesh object (either Voxel or standard polygonal model)


Ciao!

Here's a new routing scheme for the "Ione" model - this one has three single coil pickup slots and a tremolo cavity . . . working on the pickguard.

Here's the Ione model with humbuckers and two volume two tone control spaces. The hope is to mill the three designs in several scale lengths and send them to Premier magazine.
