Gibson Les Paul -

[panduchox]

Hi everybody... this is my first post here, I'm from Ecuador, I like everything about 3d (modeling, texturing, animation, lightning, rendering). This is a Gibson guitar i'm doing right now, it's just for a personal project, i'd love to have a guitar like this one because the body design is a draw that i made a few years ago.. I hope you like it and I expect your comments about my work...

i used 3d max for all the work, mental ray as renderer.. :dance:

Your model seems very good but your render lets it down I believe imo. I love that guitar also and I plan to have one some day when I have the money for it.

You should try and make the render + lighting better because at the moment its not doing the model justice. In Mental Ray (I hardly use it so I don't have enough experience in it) you should play with final gather+gi and maybe better lighting. The image could be much better :) (Again model seems pretty good)

thank you very much for your comment tillaart36.. right now i'm learning mental ray settings in 3d max 2010... if sobemody can tell me a basic scene and renderer setting you will help me a lot... :max::max::max::*poly:

I think you should scrap the whole metal grate behind the guitar and actually stick it in a scene with HDRI, etc... Something simple like the guitar standing up against a chair.
