This scene was inspired by the '80's music video of "keeping the dream 
alive". Was it Freitag that did that song?. The idea is to have a bass 
playing by itself while throwing different shadows resembling diferent 
styles of music, which in turn is derived from the Rock and Jazz/Classical 
inspiration of the bass guitar's design.

The bass is mostly hand-coded b_splines (all the wood bits). The shadows are 
image_mapped triangles in front of spotlights. I'm hoping to have this 
finished in time for the IRTC. I'm guessing render-time was about 2hours. I 
need to do something about the drums, maybe take them out completely. 
Comments, suggestions and help welcome.

Oops! Hand codes bicubic_patches not b_spline. I guess I was very tired when 
I posted that.  :-|

Nice concept.

The grainy texture on the amp seems the least believable.  Also the 
textures of the guitar don't seem quite right, I think more specular 
and/or reflection?  The blurred grainy quality of the shadows is okay 
but the sharp grain on the side walls is obtrusive.

Thanks Jim,

I'll see what I can do. I think I should try comparing  with photographs.

How are you getting that grain?  I got a similar effect once by spacing 
the grid of my area light very large relative to its distance to the 
subject.

 Or move the drums? I notice that they are eating through the ground plane 
atm. I like the drum shadow there, the shadow thing works for me overall, 
but maybe just move the drums back a little.


   The cover (gauze) over the the actual speaker needs to be almost black 
where you can't see the speaker through it, (save you some work I think).

    I have a Sessionette:75 and I can't see the speaker from (literally) two 
feet away through the gauze.

    I'll go with Jims thoughts on the bass finish.

The modelling on the guitar and the shadow effect are good I don't like the
grainy textures very much especially the ones on the left and right walls,
the speaker I think will look much better with higher AA settings and the
guitar strings look a bit strange which again may improve with AA. Also I
agree with the earlier comment that the guitar texture needs to be more
shiny. I have been lazy and only modelled the top part of a guitar for my
IRTC entry..

All the grainy bits are granite textures. I made the mistake of not setting 
the normal size, that's fixed up now.
