Very nice, good detail. It would look great with textures but like you say, hard to find good ones.

Well done!

Good modelling, remus...
Although textures might be difficult to find, I'm not sure why you want to model something like this, if you're not going to apply textures...

remus

It might just be me, but i find there is something very pleasing about a clay render of stuff like this.

beautiful model, Remus.

If you can share it this would be a great "Render This" subject.

Nice model!

My brother has played Cello for 30+ years now. He has a couple performance degrees and tries to stick to Viola De Gamba now.

Great model remus! I wouldn't say there are no great textures out there....with a camera, there are great textures everywhere!!

This would definitely be a fun one to render!

matteo

great model! I do love clay renders too - and not only beacuse you don't have to bother about texturing your model - there is a sense of surreal abstraction that makes all the geometries more clean.

btw, is it an indigo rendering?

remus

Earthmover, i was thought of popping off down to the local music shop although it does seem like rather a lot of effort, especially for a lazy person like me.

matteo, yes it is an indigo render. i think i tried it in podium as well but the model was very leaky so i just went over to indigo.

I'll post the model up in the morning (7-8 hours from now, for those of you not staring in to the inky blackness of night)for anyone who fancies a go at rendering it. Youve got to promise not to look too carefully at the peg box though

remus

heres the file, i'm interested to see what you'll come up with

Quick 1min and 5 sec render in Podium. Did not see any leaks.

remus

must be my imagination then

mirjman

was this actually modeled in sketchup? what kind of tools did you use?

What a compliment! yes, it was all done in SU.

Used soap skin bubble for the top and bottom pieces then added some thickness with joint pushpull. The tail piece was done with booltools and a little bit of JPP. Apart form that it was just native tools, as far as i can remember.
