Contrabass

Rich O Brien

F-holes are full of goo

I'll resist responding to that

This is a model from Archive3D that I just mapped and sent to Thea. I'm testing a new polycruncher for SU that works wonders on hi-poly files. It has tons of group/instancing options etc. Still a bit buggy but it's early in developement. It even has a cool UV mapping feature that make texturing a breeze

Looks great, Rich...

The textures aren't mapped correctly along the band at the bottom left of the violin.

Nice render.

That was intentional

... [thinking]

so you don't mind if I say the model is terrifically wrong in shapes and proportions

I didn't model it I just mapped imported and rendered it. It's name on Archive3D was 'Contrabass'. If it was named 'Trumpet' I would have titled the post Trumpet

Interesting trumpet!

Do you think the web "Archive3D" has good models. I have had some problems before using them (I think they have too much poly against the quality of the models).

Well it's a free resource so it's not stellar. But it's much better than 3DWH.

Nice work, Rich.
How heavy was the model after the polygon cruncher treatment?

That's the weirdest looking guitar I've ever seen.

10 out 10 for render to me. very nice!

Oh come on! Everyone knows you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish!

@TIG: Is that a 6 or a 7 string bass?
