Assignment PT 2

Self-Critique

I feel that my model have a 70% similarity to the bass guitar as I did not have the ability to produce the details of the model like the strings, the screws, the tuning pegs, bridge and some curves on the body of the guitar. The small parts of the guitar did not have good topology and the shape is not accurate. My lecturer taught me topology and I was able to get the guitar's basic shape with his patience and guidance. I feel that I should think more on how to tackle my model and not ask my lecturer without thinking it through first. I also feel that I should not give up at the slightest obstacle while doing the model. This will affect the quality of my work. I should also practice more and put in more effort in doing 3D.

Research

There is very little on guitars but here is one acceptable link which helped me in modeling my guitar


This is quite a good guide on doing a guitar, especially it gave me ideas on how to progress on the small parts of the guitar.


This modeling technique, I thought was wrong. However, I am unsure now but it is really a new way of modeling to me.

My final model






I do not know what I did to make shaded mode bring out this color. My rendering is fail as it does not bring out the feel the real guitar gives.
