Thanks to shen.de for the inspiration to finish this model............[originally started for a festival poster but I went for the trumpet instead!]
Hope you like.

cheers sandy
it's the reflection of the window on the Nitro-coating..........too lazy to move the darn camera again!

very nice.
you probably want to use one of those ancient postwork techniques for removing unwanted reflections of which our fathers photographers were masters instead of rerendering... ehehehe

not bad Stewart ....... the bridge/tailpiece looks a little like a default diffuse.
Maybe it just didn't catch the light right.
Also interesting how the frets so definitively reflect the light ......no fade, just a stop/start on the reflect. That could be a geometry thing, you know .....Maxwell is picking up on a facet .....perhaps another subdivision there would improve that.
treble/rhy selector looks good, and it's interesting to see those knob caustics.
...done.

Thanks Greg! [hehehehe] send me the bill.
Yeah Ivox, that stop-tailpiece is done with my patented 'fast food' technique.
Also the fingerboard/frets are still in progress.......really need to get that 9" radius working right!
The knob caustics I just can't decide if I like or not.....funny what M~R throws out sometimes.

The strings are also 'flatwound' but need to be slinkys...........think I've got more to do than I thought
Cheers OC.....

Lol, just kidding man, lovely image again, but I think the trumpet was a good choice in the end

thanks very much Iker : ggjason [what's an eprop?] : peterfen : luca_butti : dutch_designer [nice
