Here's an updated version of my electric guitar model.
The neck is thinner (thus, easier to play), but the junction
between the neck and the head is still not very good (it's hardly
CSG-able). The bridge (no tremolo) is much more detailed,
and now placed at the right distance (distance between nutshell
and 12th fret is equal to distance between 12th fret and bridge).
Knots are a little more ineresting too. The body received some kind
of feline 2-tones sunburst finish.
For those who asked how I made the chamfered body, I used 2 macros
that makes "beveled" pie-parts and negative pie-parts (bended towards
the outside, I can't explain better (no, really, I can't ;)).
#macro BevelPie(Center,Height,Rad,AngFromX,AngTot,Bevel,Hole)
intersection {
union {
cylinder {<0,0,0>,<0,Height,>,Rad-Bevel}
cylinder {<0,0+Bevel,0>,<0,Height-Bevel,>,Rad}
torus {Rad-Bevel Bevel translate y*Bevel}
torus {Rad-Bevel Bevel translate y*(Height-Bevel)}
}
plane {z,0 rotate y*AngFromX}
plane {z,0 inverse rotate y*(AngFromX+AngTot)}
cylinder {<0,-.01,0>,<0,Height+.01,0>,Hole+.01 inverse}
translate Center
}
#end
#macro BevelPieNeg (Center,Height,Rad,AngFromX,AngTot,Bevel,Hole)
intersection {
union {
difference {
cylinder {<0,Bevel,0>,<0,Height-Bevel,0>,Rad+Hole}
cylinder {<0,0,0>,<0,Height,0>,Rad}
}
difference {
cylinder {<0,0,0>,<0,Height,0>,Rad+Hole}
cylinder {<0,0-1,0>,<0,Height+1,0>,Rad+Bevel}
}
torus {Rad+Bevel Bevel translate y*Bevel}
torus {Rad+Bevel Bevel translate y*(Height-Bevel)}
}
plane {z,0 rotate y*AngFromX}
plane {z,0 inverse rotate y*(AngFromX+AngTot)}
translate Center
}
#end

Well, the bridge and the knobs look a lot more realistic. Good Job...
The only thing I'm still missing is the tremolo-bar... (Especially withn
such a bridge...)

Wow! The grain on the body is beautiful, and I like that finish pattern. My
from the pick-ups, maybe toggle switches to select between pick-ups, and
perhaps a pick-guard to protect that incredible finish. ;-]

Nah, it's obviously been removed - greater tuning stability, hence less
time adjusting the tuning, hence it renders quicker...
...or something. :)

I like it a lot.
You need to try a larger depth (+R) for the antialiasing to get those
strings to turn out better though. Speaking of strings... did you
texture (or model) them with the ridges (forgive me, I'm music
illiterate) in the lower note strings.

Why neither method was used. This is so realistic looking, that he was
able to go down to the music store and buy strings for it, then came
back and reached into the screen and installed them in place. Reality
in a virtual sense.

This is looking really good.
One thing that is still missing is something for the strap to
hook onto.

I would never play this guitar, for three reasons:
- It's a 21 fret neck. (I hate to bend a minor 3:rd to reach that high E
when soloing over a E minor progression)
- The cut-away is made on the wrong side for a right-handed player (i.e,
me.). Makes it even harder to reach that high E.
- No humbuckers. I can live with single-coil, but only if they are Seymor
Duncan pickups (or EMG) with high output. Just to let you know.
Regards,
- Mikael (equally lousy guitar player and programmer)

21 frets, like my Strat 57 reissue; there's much fine music to play
between fret 1 and 21, you know...
(and about that E, just use harmonics...)

Makes it easier to reach the lower strings with the thumb. Anyway,
there is fine music to play between frets 1 and 17...

Ever heard about _stacked_ humbuckers ? They looks (and mount)
the same as single coils, and avoid the _ugly_ appearance of
these big humbuckers...
Cheers,
Fabien.

I really your guitar, especially how you were able to get that nice beveled
edge! Now I know nothing about electric guitars so if what I am saying sounds
completely insane just ignore it, but isn't an "electric" guitar supposed to
have an output jack somewhere on it to hook it up to an amplifier?
