Ibanez AEF (Guitar) Model
 

Ok....heres what I have so Far.......

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

I want to make the strings using nurbs curves....but how do i create the curve and then attach it to a cylinder or extrude it from one or something in that nature so that all i have to do is create the line and then have Maya build the dense using extrude or any other method for creating these strings....thanks

MMOORE......if u see this..... message me....i have smoething i have to ask u

Looks pretty oggd, but aint the machine heads really small?

for the curve/string question, make a cureve then make a nurbs circle, select one then the other and do an extrude.

looks good to me! I dont know much about guitars so i dont know what looks wrong about it.. but as far as mesh looking good :)

yup.....gster......it is a bit small....will work on that in a bit

What version are you working with? Because that hard edge that is supposed to be smooth can either be fixed with the polygon sculpt tool, or by selecting the vertices of that edge manually and pusing them up and in a little.

no....that edge is supposed to be hard and then go smooth...l was just letting ppl know so that they dont comment and say its not suppsoed to be hard to smooth since i got that on another forum but on my guitar I have, it is but im doing the

AEF18ebk1202 model....heres a pic of it i took from ibaniez site for texturing purposes

I do need to fix the top of the head though since my curves are off..i am on it now...thanks for the comments guys.....

ok...fixed up some.....since this was a bit inaccurate....i wasn't using that pic i uploaded and actually forgot all about it so now im going back in fixing all my inaccuracies....i was eye ballin it for the most part but thanks for the comment...lol if it wasnt for the comment. id never know i had that pic haha

ok gster....you were so right....those ones i had were half the size when aligned to that image i posted but i corrected it so heres an update....also...i added the holes for the strings to go through

Heres my last update for the day....im about to head to the movies... C&C always welcomed
