3D Environment - Sean Burrows

My 3D environment is going to be music themed, its going to consist of models such as my guitar & amp. Plus other musical equipment with a stage background (possibly the cavern stage).

Below are some reference images I am using to help me create these individual models:

I have started modelling my guitar, so I shall post development of that up once I have Cinema 4D properly installed

Heres what I have up to now for my guitar, on my kinda first mess around on Cinema 4D

Feedback?
Ill post some more development on how I got to that stage at a later date.

Started working on the bridge of the guitar. Pretty much the most detailed and complex part, so firstly I have just used primitive shapes such as cylinder and cube. Then used the point tool to shape them the way I want them. Ontop of this to make the holes in the cube I have used alot of booles with cylinder shapes.

This was looking amazing in class. Nice work sean

Wow, that brilliant, lovely detail

Heres a bit more development on the guitar bridge. I think its nearly ready now to have the strings connected, maybe just a little bit more work on the bridge section. E.g put some screws and screw holes in there and the part above that hold the strings up.

I got bored so I decided to start the strings earlier than planned, heres how it is looking up to now I basically drew out a line using linear spline, then I created a circle with the correct string radius. After this I put them both into a sweep nurb and it turned into a string. I also used a helix spline and the same process with the circle to wrap the string around the top clip part of the guitar.

that is actually amazing. Great work Sean 2 ^^

Cheers for comments
Ive been messing round with some textures as i'm not really good at that part at the moment. I have just been generally looking at the body of my guitar and its a shiny reflective black plastic look, so I have messed around with alot of the material settings to get a reflective black colour and this is how it turned out.

Note: From this angle it might look a bit transparent but that isnt the case as the light is reflecting from a certain angle and its making it look like that.

The guitar body is pretty much done, just a few points around the edge look abit wrong which ill take a look at. Ive added more detail into the pickups area. I think just a few screw holes and 1 more little slider thing to add, then the body is basically done.

Not sure if im happy with the shine on black on the pickups (the middle round curve parts with holes in, beneath the strings) they are usually a bit more dull.

that's looking amazing haha

Guitar head near enough finished with texture. The ibanez logo took a while to get on because I didnt know how to do it but im fairly happy with that now.



Full guitar, and how it looks now. Ive added the wood texture to the neck with different shades, and added a few other minor things.

Added inlays.

My guitar is basically done now.




So basically I am going to start doing the stage environment now, which is going to be the cavern stage. Ive just been messing round with booles and cube shapes and this is what I have up to now.

the guitar is amazing and the screen shot you showed me of the cavern looked great.

This is where im up to on doing my cavern stage, i have just used the textures at the moment to give me an idea what everything is going to look like. It needs a hell of alot more detail but I have started to build it up from the last image I shown.

My guitar that I created previously is also resting against the wall on the stage.

This is where im up to with the drums. Still need a hi-hat, another larger drum (dont know the name) and just more detail

Nice guitar (:
The rest of the room is coming along nicely too

looking really good burrows

Started to add more detail, e.g small clips on the stands, grooves and stuff in the drums, and also labels.

Think im at the stage now, where I just need a little more detail and i can start copying the drums over and resizing them.

Heres what ive done up to now on the stage aswell. I think this is going to be the angle of the final screenshot because you can see everything well and it could be classed as a persons point of view while watching a band play.

Done the drumkit



Heres how my amp is looking at the moment, not far until that is done either.



And heres the stage, a few things got deleted somehow but it does need a hell of alot more detail, ive gotten a few more ideas from videos of bands who have played there. There just isnt many actual images of the stage surroundings and other things in detail.

they're looking excellent

stage with a bit more detail
