Remus, great modeling here, congrats! I didn't find the perfect texture, sorry.
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome model, Remus.
I've done a quick render with a custom texture...

Awesome Job. Stefan and Jon, great texturing and rendering.

Here's a clay output from VfSU with a line overlay and a little blur. Besides the obvious smoothing issue, I think it is a neat style.

Remus, how did you go about making the spiral cuts on the top of the neck?

I also found this great site with some higher res cello images for texturing reference - http://www.wilhitestrings.com/cellos.htm

Nice. Very nice.

Good stuff jon

Earthmover, those where the hardest part by a long way. If i remember correctly, what i did was to draw on the spiral then separate it in to lots of steps. I then push pulled each step up in to that spiral shape, from there i joined the edge of each step to get a smooth curve. I then deleted the steps themselves and stitched the outside of the curve to the inside. Make the whole thing a component, copy, scale and your done.

Beautiful model Remus! It is also great to see the various approaches to rendering it.
