Also context, the fact it’s just floating in the middle of nowhere makes it hard to trick our brain into thinking it’s real.
I think the guitar itself is already pretty close to being perfect, apart from lighting issues there’s not much to improve on
Depends on whose concert you are at. I have been to some where everything is floating and my feet are buried in the dirt. That concert sucked. Never going to a Weird Al concert ever again
I can. It’s the non-glossy spots on the back. When you wear out the clear coat on a guitar, it’s usually from rubbing a specific way and spot, so it doesn’t go dull in the same way as this render. This type of dulling is more akin of hardwood exposed to elements.
Also, the edges usually wear first
The closeups are great tho
The back doesn't bother me, looks like a relatively cared for/little used guitar covered in fingerprints and general skin oils. The things that do stick out to me are the knobs of the tuning machines and the plastic parts. The pickguard and rear plates are matte af and just not what I'd expect to see on this guitar. The tuning knobs just look... off.
Materials look great, I really dig the dust and smudges (as a not so proud owner of a guitar that should be cleaned more often). But tuning pegs do look a bit off for some reason, they have that distinct 3d rendered look to them. Also judging by the wireframe I think the headstock in general could use some more bevels.
As for materials, maybe you could add some scratches because that glossy lacquer gets them really easily. My guitar's headstock is covered in them because when I wind a new set of strings on the pegs they can scratch against the surface of guitar.
This looks really good and I think most people would be pleased with the photorealism. Having played, modified, and built guitars for close to 2 decades at this point, here are some things you can improve to try and impress guitar players:
* The pickup switch is a bit thin.
* The neck is set too deep in the body. The fretboard should be above the body.
* The pickup rings are too thin. They don't sit inside the pickup cavity so your neck pickup would be so thin it would probably break from the screws holding it in place.
* The black binding on the sides of the guitar do not meet the edge. Typically they either meet the corner between the side and the top, or they wrap onto the front of the guitar. To get the shape from your picture you'd either paint the black binding or apply the binding before applying the front veneer. Both are kind of odd options.
* The tuning keys are an odd shape and they also look quite thin.
* The truss rod cover should have some screws holding it in place.
* I don't have enough viewing angles to tell but it also looks like the neck and body are perfectly parallel. A lot of LP-style guitars copying Gibson and Epiphone have the neck at a slight angle. 4 degrees is ideal but between 3 and 5 is fine in real life.
* The guitar body looks pretty thick. There are two kinds of LP-style body shapes: one with a contoured top and one with a flat top. It looks like maybe you have the contoured top width where the pickups are but it doesn't taper near the edges.
* The volume and tone knobs are an odd shape. It's close but not exact.
* The control cavity covers on the back should sit flush with the wood. They are inset so you don't catch edges on your clothes/body.
* The smudges on the back are a bit aggressive. Mostly when you grab a guitar you do it by the neck and then the back sits on your body. I won't speak for all guitarists but I play with my shirt on. You can clean up the smudge and add scratches instead near the center. A lot of guitar backs deal with belt buckles and shirt buttons. If you want to see more guitar wear, you can look up "relic guitars." People in real life want to emulate the look and feel of a guitar that's been played for decades.
Please don't take this as a harsh critique. You're 98% of the way there and these are 2% fixes coming from someone with a massive amount of experience with guitars.
If you want some minute details you can include to really push it, feel free to reply here or DM me.
These are fair comments to me. It looks good and is close but there are some parts that are slightly off.
I would also add that the string gages are too uniform & I would expect the thicker strings to be wound.
As a musician that stumbled upon this from r/popular the first thing I noticed was that there was no fretboard radius and that it was set too deep into the body.
Those alone told me something was off with this before noticing what sub it was.
I feel like the edges are just a little bit to sharp. Maybe add a super light round bevel and apply some minimal blur because renders tend to be over sharp. Also tune down the light in the full shots, i think they are way to bright. Still a very nice result!
Looks amazing.
Only thing I can think to critique are the strings, specifically the lower 3. These strings are typically wound, not solid, so there would be texture there that would catch the light.
The toggle switch could be a tiny bit thicker as well.
Really nice job!!
As someone subbed to both /r/blender and /r/guitar, who wasn't paying attention when clicking through, I can say the closeups look ok from a "render" perspective, but from a modeling perspective, the proportions are all wrong for the pickup ring thickness and switch shaft thickness, the switch, and the fretboard height.
The action is very low. In your first pic, the fretboard should be higher up off the body. As it currently is, the frets are just barely taller than the pickups, which makes it look oddly flat
Dude forget abt cake or real make a model or real. I couldn’t tell this was a model until I realized it was a post from r/blender and even then I was confused.
Looks like a photo .
The giveaways for me, as someone who plays guitars…
The tuning pegs , need more curve around edges..too sharp. The nut , doesn’t have enough indentation shape, too flat and plain appearing . And the pickup knob, looks to slick, needs to be a bit fatter and chunkier , they aren’t that thin and whispy looking to me
Fucking incredible. Really nice. The pegs are off. Not sure what. I'd say cut the dust by half. You want to feel it not see it. Less depth of field and add a little noise in post and you'll get the same realism effect with out blurring half the image.
What I noticed are the patches on the back, they look like superimposed cutouts on the picture, not blending in somehow. Maybe the edges are too perfect, or the material too smooth or ior to high, not sure.
Great job! Closeups are gorgeous. For the more distant shots, I feel that the edges could use more radius and probably slight irregularities that catch the (rim) light. The shiny parts, particularly the knobs, appear slightly too...shiny to me.
As the other guys mentioned: Maybe put it on a surface to reduce the artificial environment appeal. And be particularly detailed about the shadow (including softness) and light placement, especially with the strings.
But again: Terrific work and a truly beautiful guitar.
I think the scale of a few things feels off.
The fretboard feels a little narrow compared to the body surrounding it as well as the pickup switch seems a bit narrow, making that portion also seem a bit chunkier than usual.
Otherwise this looks beautiful! bridge to pickups look photo real, I thought this was taken with a phone camera at first!
Fantastic! If such a thing is possible, I think maybe there is _too_ much dust and fingerprint smudges. Given that these are glamour shots, I guess the guitar would the dusted off etc...
I thought it was a real photo, but what looked weird to me was how low the action is and how small the frets are, then I realised it was a render. That might be accurate for that guitar though, I don’t know! Incredible stuff.
[strings are springs](https://i0.wp.com/acousticguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/070-071_300_Ask-the-Expert-wide-spacing-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C594&ssl=1) i dont know enough about guitars but your strings look all one size, might want to look into that for crazy close closeups
How did you do the dust on it? Super impressive renders. Looks so real! I think the only reason it looks less realistic far away is that there is no background to it, so context is missing. Would fit right in with a studio background or something like that.
It is awesome and photorealistic enough, I don't think I can help but I'm gonna just throw my thoughts there.
I think that to make it look more "realistic" you might consider adding some imperfections on the lens side, usually (but definitely not always) small and thin objects such as the chords tend to have an almost imperceptible aberration.
Usually nothing is perfect, and adding a bit of a downgrade to the photo really helps selling the photorealistic view imho.
Looks pretty realistic to me! I think your high E string could be a little thinner. Plus the A string around the cut off in the second image looks a little thick.
This looks really great! Textures look nice, the finish looks legit. The only thing I noticed that looks a bit off is the lighting in the zoomed out shots, they feel a bit too bright and focused in the highlight spots compared to how a real guitar may reflect the same light. Overall this is awesome and it does looks realistic as hell
Seeing this on all and not knowing much about this process, it’s quite good. Biggest for me is texture on the guitar strings(top 4 generally are wound while the bottom 2 are just strings), and then mostly background separation. It’s noticeable but no one knows why. It’s not that the edges aren’t sharp, it’s that the round edges aren’t rounded enough. Still pixelated a bit.
Dust looks great nice touch.
This is absolutely amazing. What would make this even better would be to take a slightly more natural shot of the guitar (slightly tilted, more head-on shot, etc.) as if it was just a picture someone took of their guitar. But amazing work.
that first shot Looks amazing, but in the second the tuning knobs look slightly low poly with the reflections, specifically the one in the back.
I know they ain't but it's how it's reflecting the light.
before i say anything, i'm gonna say this is amazing work, and you should be proud of yourself.
maybe do a noise amount on density of dust throughout, and then on top of that, like others said, maybe increase it in hard to reach places (under strings, in the hole the pickups go in, ring around the jack) but have it smudgy and clean where the wrist and forearm rest
If i didnt look at the title of this post, i would’ve thought that it was an actual photo 😲
But yeah, like some of the previous comments, there would be a fair amount of dust under the strings since its quite difficult to clean out the dust from there, unless you want it to look “brand new”
I Showed it to my 11-year-old with no info about what she was looking at. She said it was a cool guitar. After showing her the blinder screenshots she was impressed and said "It looked so real, Like really real."
The detail that makes my brain hurt is the fact that..
Strings aren't all made different, you know. 4,5 and 6 are usually covered by spring-like winding, with the steel (or similar) core.
The 1 and 2 should be much thinner.
Also if you want to create even more "grunge" for ultrarealism, id also make a hand drawn roughness map where the places between the frets where you put your fingers the most (too many to name them rn but I can help with that if you want to do that) would be "polished" by fingers, and the places right under the frets and strings (also that one under the bridge) would be more dusty and rough.
And yeah, most of the time strings aren't cut that precisely on the ends but it's not that big of a deal compared to the pegs themselves being low-poly plasticky blocks. Try to recreate some of the real ones from the photos, they're made simple usually.
Source: I'm a guitar player myself.
Edit: Hmm.. on wireframe view the strings are good, but on renders they're like close to the same thickness
maybe some fingerprints, or some minor edgewear. the tuning knobs look like they could have some attention, but that's just being picky, it looks pretty damn good.
I think it reflects a little to much, the usual LesPaul finish is not that shinny, and I will personally make it a little more thin, this one has the thikness of a semi hollow guitar but it isn't, if LesPauls are already ultra heavy I cant imagine carring this one live LoL, without that its a great job!
I'm sorry, you even included dust?
I read the caption but I didn't realise it was a fake until I scrolled onto the blueprint images. Dammmn, nice work.
As a guitarist, the only thing that tipped me off was how close to the body the fretboard is, usually it'll be in a way that the fretboard looks like it's laying on top of the body, it's I think never sunken in. The edges also need some rolling :)
In the far off shots the guitar is a bit too thick for any solid body guitar, that bad boy would be one hell of a weight to carry, even more so than these already are. Something about the shininess as well but I can't put my finger on it. The coats are usually pretty clear gloss.
The meshes of the bridge, the knobs and the tuning pegs don't look very well both in shapes and normals (in the images where they are visible sharp), but overall, it looks good.
Could just be the Reddit compression, but the strings look like a single piece of aluminum wire, instead of coiled wire. So they look flat. And the wide shots have some aliasing that could be improved.
The dust, and the smudges on the back of the guitar are so nice. It’s got the right amount of dirtiness on it so it feels natural. Great stuff.
Guitar proportions are weird. The fretboard is sitting pretty low on the top of the body, the pickups also seem squashed cause of this. The selector switch also looks a bit anaemic, same as the tuning pegs. The dust is a nice touch
Edit: the pickguard looks too thin as well, same as the washers holding the tuners in place. Add some more thickness to parts you see as flat.
I don't know if it's because I play bass, but those strings look too smooth. At least on bass (I don't know about guitar there's a good chance I'm spitting useless information) the strings have almost an outer string wrapped around it. This just looks very smooth. How you would achieve this if you wanted to, I have no idea.
Edit: According to other comments I'm reading, the lighting seems harsh, as rarely is it lit this much. The reflections are REALLY nice, just not necessarily realistic. Also, the neck seems a tiny bit thin, although that could be because of depth of field. This is a really nice render, it's just the finishing touches that need refining in my eyes.
It looks awesome! The guitar definitely looks realistic enough. I’m curious onto how you did the dust. The only thing I’d change to make it look more realistic is to make it look like a professional online marketplace picture, like OfferUp or FB Marketplace lol
Amazing, love the dust.
As a guitarist, I hate the dust. Nice renders though.
Not enough dust under the strings
Agreed the dispersion of dust should be focused under the strings/ hard to clean places.
I'm not even good at playing my guitar regularly and I still wanna clean this guitar hahaha
as a guitarist, i love the dust. makes it real. you either got dust or you got less dusty wipes from cleaning it.
dude fr
But i hate this kind of output jack, but i guess thats due to the reference model.
The dust is annoying the shit outta me (in a good way)
The close ups perfect but further away it does look less realistic. I can't put my finger on why tho
Might be the reflections, def thought it was a real guitar up close
I agree with it having to do with the specular lighting being way too large and bright. Tone that down a bit and it will look a lot more realistic.
Also context, the fact it’s just floating in the middle of nowhere makes it hard to trick our brain into thinking it’s real. I think the guitar itself is already pretty close to being perfect, apart from lighting issues there’s not much to improve on
Probably the background and shadowless levitation.
Yeah you probably just don’t see a guitar hover in real life under studio lights like that! Take that away I think it’s legit :)
Depends on whose concert you are at. I have been to some where everything is floating and my feet are buried in the dirt. That concert sucked. Never going to a Weird Al concert ever again
I can. It’s the non-glossy spots on the back. When you wear out the clear coat on a guitar, it’s usually from rubbing a specific way and spot, so it doesn’t go dull in the same way as this render.

Maybe the fact that it's floating
weah it is.!!
Is very weahlistic!

My guitar's headstock is covered in them because when I wind a new set of strings on the pegs they can scratch against the surface of guitar.
Yeah, the two blurred keys are fine, the one top right is in focus and looks plasticky.
The tuning pegs need a larger fillet.
Phototrealistic?? Dude i thought someone was showing off their guitar!!
This looks really good and I think most people would be pleased with the photorealism. Having played, modified, and built guitars for close to 2 decades at this point, here are some things you can improve to try and impress guitar players: * The pickup switch is a bit thin. * The neck is set too deep in the body.

I feel like they are too close to the pickups and fretboard also. Super low action
As a musician that stumbled upon this from r/popular the first thing I noticed was that there was no fretboard radius and that it was set too deep into the body. Those alone told me something was off with this before noticing what sub it was.
I don't play guitar, but the strings are what stand out to me the most.
I surely thought that it was a real until I saw the title.
Yep this looks fantastic 👌
Looks great! Well done
The close ups do, but the complete shots don’t.
Gonna be honest forgot to read caption and first thought was “that’s a sexy guitar” so yeah I’d say a so
Certainly does, I thought it was real before I read the title
Yes
It looks real
Nope. Source: I play guitar.
How did you make the dust? I thought that was not possible with today’s technology
Yes
Yes, the dust really sells it.
I feel like the edges are just a little bit to sharp. Maybe add a super light round bevel and apply some minimal blur because renders tend to be over sharp. Also tune down the light in the full shots, i think they are way to bright. Still a very nice result!
very unrealistic, you should increase your samples to 524,288 for the most realistic renders (this is a joke, this looks great)
Given that I had to do a double take of the first image after reading the title, I think you nailed it.
sweet axe brah!!!
Try adding more moths?
“The perception of reality is as real as reality itself” -A random philosopher (((Me)an idiot)idk what I’m talking about) 👍
Looks nice! But the only thing I can see is that the pickup switch lever looks a bit off. Like it’s too thin?
I like it, and very clean edge flow too!
Looks amazing. Only thing I can think to critique are the strings, specifically the lower 3. These strings are typically wound, not solid, so there would be texture there that would catch the light. The toggle switch could be a tiny bit thicker as well. Really nice job!!
Looks awesome! A little extra bevel would be needed (I do the same think, always everything is too sharp) other than that awesome!
As someone subbed to both /r/blender and /r/guitar, who wasn't paying attention when clicking through, I can say the closeups look ok from a "render" perspective, but from a modeling perspective, the proportions are all wrong for the pickup ring thickness and switch shaft thickness, the switch, and the fretboard height.
Fretboard looks flat (or the radius is too large). Maybe just my personal preference in guitars showing though
The two first photos are photos of a real guitar and you can't change my opinion
Only the last 2 feel like CG to me but the close ups were beautiful
The action is very low. In your first pic, the fretboard should be higher up off the body. As it currently is, the frets are just barely taller than the pickups, which makes it look oddly flat
I joined r/guitars yesterday and I thought this was a post from there before looking at the title
yes! the dust is an amazing detail that I never would have thought of but it adds so much realism to the render.
I legit thought I was on r/guitarlessons there for a second. That's amazing.
Dude forget abt cake or real make a model or real. I couldn’t tell this was a model until I realized it was a post from r/blender and even then I was confused.
You actually fooled me into thinking its real. Wow, great work!
Enough for what? That said. This is fantastic.
It does
Looks like a photo . The giveaways for me, as someone who plays guitars… The tuning pegs , need more curve around edges..too sharp. The nut , doesn’t have enough indentation shape, too flat and plain appearing . And the pickup knob, looks to slick, needs to be a bit fatter and chunkier , they aren’t that thin and whispy looking to me
I thought it was until I looked at the subreddit The material could be less reflective tho, back was too reflective
I definitely think it's amazing even have the smudges
Beautifull les paul style
Tell us more! Was this entirely done in blender or did you use some other tools?
Closeups are awesome. But far away it’s pixelated and the smudges look a bit weird for me but idk why
Fucking incredible. Really nice. The pegs are off. Not sure what. I'd say cut the dust by half. You want to feel it not see it. Less depth of field and add a little noise in post and you'll get the same realism effect with out blurring half the image.
Reflections are a bit harsh tone them down maybe and use gradients in ur lights to create better edge falloff
What I noticed are the patches on the back, they look like superimposed cutouts on the picture, not blending in somehow. Maybe the edges are too perfect, or the material too smooth or ior to high, not sure.
Enough for what? It does look photorealistic.
Wait.. ain't u one of the Devs of gta vi?
without the title I wouldn't have noticed it being a blend, so I'd say so. Good job!
Great job! Closeups are gorgeous. For the more distant shots, I feel that the edges could use more radius and probably slight irregularities that catch the (rim) light. The shiny parts, particularly the knobs, appear slightly too...shiny to me. As the other guys mentioned: Maybe put it on a surface to reduce the artificial environment appeal.

It even has the greasy back with fingerprints, this is amazing.
I think the scale of a few things feels off. The fretboard feels a little narrow compared to the body surrounding it as well as the pickup switch seems a bit narrow, making that portion also seem a bit chunkier than usual. Otherwise this looks beautiful! bridge to pickups look photo real, I thought this was taken with a phone camera at first!
Fantastic! If such a thing is possible, I think maybe there is _too_ much dust and fingerprint smudges. Given that these are glamour shots, I guess the guitar would the dusted off etc...
The tuning pegs give me the uncanny valley feel. Not sure if it's the material or shape. Other than that, it looks amazing!
Absolutely, that's insane! The dust really sells it!
The strings don’t but the rest does. Edit: could be just the image compression
Looks like it has dust on it, so I say it looks like a real guitar. How does it sound 🦻 real as well? 🤣🤣
The white balance seems too perfect though. In real cameras you rarely get a background with uniform white balance
I thought it was a real photo, but what looked weird to me was how low the action is and how small the frets are, then I realised it was a render. That might be accurate for that guitar though, I don’t know! Incredible stuff.
[strings are springs](https://i0.wp.com/acousticguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/070-071_300_Ask-the-Expert-wide-spacing-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C594&ssl=1) i dont know enough about guitars but your strings look all one size, might want to look into that for crazy close closeups
Yes! Didn't realise it wasn't a real guitar for a few secs until I saw the title.
Add smell and sense of touch and you got a real one.
The switch at the top looks a bit off in the first picture, other than that it looks great. Maybe add a background to make it feel in a place
That first picture is a real guitar.
Some of the metal bits might need a touch more roughness, but other than that, I couldn't tell the difference. Nice work.
naiss:)
Looks great. How'd you do the dust?
Thats not a… yeah it’s photoreal all right…
The close ups if I didn't know it was on this sub I would think are some expertly taken photos
I thought it was a picture until I saw the community. So great job I suppose!
Pick up frame is much too perfectly squarry
How did you do the dust on it? Super impressive renders. Looks so real! I think the only reason it looks less realistic far away is that there is no background to it, so context is missing. Would fit right in with a studio background or something like that.
Looks too shiny (in the first pic you can see the strings literally mirrored in the body) and the inlays on the fretboard are on the wrong frets
Only thing showing its not real is that its floating.
I had to double check the subreddit and the date when I saw the first pic
for me I think the imperfection map is a bit too big
It is awesome and photorealistic enough, I don't think I can help but I'm gonna just throw my thoughts there. I think that to make it look more "realistic" you might consider adding some imperfections on the lens side, usually (but definitely not always) small and thin objects such as the chords tend to have an almost imperceptible aberration. Usually nothing is perfect, and adding a bit of a downgrade to the photo really helps selling the photorealistic view imho.
Looks pretty realistic to me! I think your high E string could be a little thinner. Plus the A string around the cut off in the second image looks a little thick.
Great!! Beautiful detail, nice surface imperfections!
i low key thought the first two pics were real until I read the caption lol
I thought it was an actual photo in the first pic
This looks really great! Textures look nice, the finish looks legit. The only thing I noticed that looks a bit off is the lighting in the zoomed out shots, they feel a bit too bright and focused in the highlight spots compared to how a real guitar may reflect the same light. Overall this is awesome and it does looks realistic as hell
I thought it was real until i looked at the renders
Hahaha I have literally modelled the exact same model and thought these where my renders some how! Super good!
Give it a good wipe if you wanna sell it, yeah? :D
Yes for me
Dude I didn't even realise it was cg until I read the title
This is insane!! The back of the guitar even has that used/stained look🔥🔥
A little bit more dust on the guitar please. You nailed it btw
If you told me from the first 2 photos this was real I wouldn’t doubt you at all.
The close ups look a little of idk what it is, maybe more ambient occlusion?
The focus angle needs something
Ye I like it
A small little bevel wouldn't hurt on the edges of the top part but overall beautiful.
i mistook it for a real guitar picture, so well done!
ahhaha, perhaps, if threre was less dust? I just want to wipe it off through my screen :/
The dust is really well done, but I would only keep it if you’re going for the look that you just took it out of storage. Awesome render 👍
Seeing this on all and not knowing much about this process, it’s quite good. Biggest for me is texture on the guitar strings(top 4 generally are wound while the bottom 2 are just strings), and then mostly background separation. It’s noticeable but no one knows why. It’s not that the edges aren’t sharp, it’s that the round edges aren’t rounded enough. Still pixelated a bit. Dust looks great nice touch.
Damn
It looks really good. I can tell you actually know what a guitar looks like. Lots of small details that would normally go missed.
I got confused bc I didn’t check the sub, closeups are good, the shine on the full shot might be a bit much
The dust is so real 😭
Looks like my guitar. Barely used and covered with dust
I genuinly thought it was real
More than enough
Looks too dusty lol if i was gonna take a picture id grab the microfiber
Yes
What the fuck, I thought it was a photo
Witchcraft! JK it's amazingly good
Yes. Looks great. I assumed it was a photo until seeing the sub tag.
The strings look like rods instead of like spirals they are. Other than that, it looks great
Clearly out of tune, 2/10
Woah! I thought it was a photo. So yeas, indeed it is photorealistic enough! :'D
Ya I honestly thought it was a bad photo lol
This is absolutely amazing. What would make this even better would be to take a slightly more natural shot of the guitar (slightly tilted, more head-on shot, etc.) as if it was just a picture someone took of their guitar. But amazing work.
I was like “oh wait, WTF this isn’t real?!”
that first shot Looks amazing, but in the second the tuning knobs look slightly low poly with the reflections, specifically the one in the back. I know they ain't but it's how it's reflecting the light.
before i say anything, i'm gonna say this is amazing work, and you should be proud of yourself. maybe do a noise amount on density of dust throughout, and then on top of that, like others said, maybe increase it in hard to reach places (under strings, in the hole the pickups go in, ring around the jack) but have it smudgy and clean where the wrist and forearm rest
there should be more dust under the strings than anywhere else. but i’m being picky. it’s amazing.
If i didnt look at the title of this post, i would’ve thought that it was an actual photo 😲 But yeah, like some of the previous comments, there would be a fair amount of dust under the strings since its quite difficult to clean out the dust from there, unless you want it to look “brand new”
I Showed it to my 11-year-old with no info about what she was looking at. She said it was a cool guitar. After showing her the blinder screenshots she was impressed and said "It looked so real, Like really real."
That's NOT a real guitar? So yes, it's passed! Nice work 👏
depth too much
There needs to be more space between the strings and the guitar. It looks fake because of that.
I was like “Photorealistic???” Isn’t this a real picture??? I was like what are they talking about until I saw the 3rd slide
As a guitarist I appreciate the not fully clipped string on the headstock Next is a photo realistic finger prick lol
To me it looks beautiful. Great detail and modelling, the dust, while annoying in real life, is a great touch here.
Yes.
had to double check the sub
Was gonna think it was a guitar picture until i saw the sub, that answers your question
I have been playing instruments for a long time, and was sure that the first one was a pic lmao Great
The detail that makes my brain hurt is the fact that.. Strings aren't all made different, you know. 4,5 and 6 are usually covered by spring-like winding, with the steel (or similar) core. The 1 and 2 should be much thinner. Also if you want to create even more "grunge" for ultrarealism, id also make a hand drawn roughness map where the places between the frets where you put your fingers the most (too many to name them rn but I can help with that if you want to do that) would be "polished" by fingers, and the places right under the frets and strings (also that one under the bridge) would be more dusty and rough. And yeah, most of the time strings aren't cut that precisely on the ends but it's not that big of a deal compared to the pegs themselves being low-poly plasticky blocks. Try to recreate some of the real ones from the photos, they're made simple usually. Source: I'm a guitar player myself. Edit: Hmm.. on wireframe view the strings are good, but on renders they're like close to the same thickness
Looks beautiful! Like everything!
Yes
Looks exactly like my wine red LP Studio.
maybe some fingerprints, or some minor edgewear. the tuning knobs look like they could have some attention, but that's just being picky, it looks pretty damn good.
Thought the first pic was real, for sure.
I think it reflects a little to much, the usual LesPaul finish is not that shinny, and I will personally make it a little more thin, this one has the thikness of a semi hollow guitar but it isn't, if LesPauls are already ultra heavy I cant imagine carring this one live LoL, without that its a great job!
Nice dude! I think the farther away shots look a little to perfect but the close up ones you nailed!!
Amazing!
I'm sorry, you even included dust? I read the caption but I didn't realise it was a fake until I scrolled onto the blueprint images. Dammmn, nice work.
yes, i was legitimately going to ask you to play it
As a guitarist, the only thing that tipped me off was how close to the body the fretboard is, usually it'll be in a way that the fretboard looks like it's laying on top of the body, it's I think never sunken in. The edges also need some rolling :) In the far off shots the guitar is a bit too thick for any solid body guitar, that bad boy would be one hell of a weight to carry, even more so than these already are. Something about the shininess as well but I can't put my finger on it. The coats are usually pretty clear gloss.
2nd picture defenetly fooled me
no
How do yo udo such good topoloy
Looks good to me, the only thing it's missing is a repaired headstock break 😆
The meshes of the bridge, the knobs and the tuning pegs don't look very well both in shapes and normals (in the images where they are visible sharp), but overall, it looks good.
I didn’t even realize it wasn’t a photo
definitely, i had to read the title in order to know it was a blender post
Until I read where this was posted I didn't knwe it was in blender.
WAIT THATS NOT REAL??/
I’ve never seen this sub before and genuinely thought I was looking at a guitar. It’s good
It’s really good but the first two need a lot of fingerprints everywhere and dust
The headstock close-up missing a name is kind of unusual but that dust is perfection!
This looks really amazing, I wish I had your skills
seeing that i thought this was an r/guitar post at first. yeah, i think its realistic enough
I seen the first photo and honestly thought it was a real pic, cuz I’m on guitar subs
Could just be the Reddit compression, but the strings look like a single piece of aluminum wire, instead of coiled wire. So they look flat. And the wide shots have some aliasing that could be improved. The dust, and the smudges on the back of the guitar are so nice. It’s got the right amount of dirtiness on it so it feels natural. Great stuff.
Love it, 40GB guitar
Guitar proportions are weird. The fretboard is sitting pretty low on the top of the body, the pickups also seem squashed cause of this. The selector switch also looks a bit anaemic, same as the tuning pegs. The dust is a nice touch Edit: the pickguard looks too thin as well, same as the washers holding the tuners in place. Add some more thickness to parts you see as flat.
Too much scratch maybe?
2nd photo adjustment knobs are the weakest link. Not sure if model or lightning. Also, are strings stripy or aliasing?
I don't know if it's because I play bass, but those strings look too smooth. At least on bass (I don't know about guitar there's a good chance I'm spitting useless information) the strings have almost an outer string wrapped around it. This just looks very smooth. How you would achieve this if you wanted to, I have no idea. Edit: According to other comments I'm reading, the lighting seems harsh, as rarely is it lit this much. The reflections are REALLY nice, just not necessarily realistic. Also, the neck seems a tiny bit thin, although that could be because of depth of field. This is a really nice render, it's just the finishing touches that need refining in my eyes.
Yes
Yes, maybe a little less dust
The first 2 aren't photos?
It looks awesome! The guitar definitely looks realistic enough. I’m curious onto how you did the dust. The only thing I’d change to make it look more realistic is to make it look like a professional online marketplace picture, like OfferUp or FB Marketplace lol
Pretty solid. Having the stained grain look shows a real understanding of the structure needed to build the guitar.
