looks nice but get rid of the black background cause it hides some details

excellent render, however i think the dials are too reflective and they look almost blurred to me. As though there is no detail at all on them.

excellent work gster! Well done mate!

Maybe you could add a cord running to a nice big amp. Also, it might be fun to add some band stickers and rough it up a little.

just a thought...

Awesome! Great work on the guitar. The dials looks sweet now that you changed them up a bit. As twisteddragon33 had noted, they seemed blurred. To me, they also seemed a bit too bright and reflective when compared to the rest of the model. But, regardless, it looks top notch, now!

Cheers guys.

starjsjswars - ill post up the texture, its just a simple wood texture tiled in PS and applied to a poly plane, do you mean the settings for the material?

eric - Cheers mate, glad theres an improvement!

arran - Gonna make a little scene for this, with some picks, cables, amp, and of course half drank JD bottle and a packet of Marlbro's!

That is if I get the time.

Stll tweeking the settings to get the materials right, also still need to add a few things to the textures and the model, just to get a high level of detail that i'm attempting to aim for.
