One tip I found whilst modelling a guitar in Maya, and using this video for reference - when creating the strings using a CV curve tool at 32:07 , I found the default curve settings were creating some unwanted shapes when snapping the curve to my bridge and nut, and found changing the CV curve settings did the trick, which the video doesn't seem to show. All I changed which worked for me was the '3 Cubic' setting to '1 Linear', which gave my curve the linearity it needed to create a string shape. Hope this helps :)

I only have to do 2/3 of it, because I'm currently modeling a four string bass guitar. That technique you used to create the strings is going to make my workflow much less of a headache. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks so much for posting. I'm using C4D, but just seeing your thought process is immensely helpful.

Amazing video. I had no prior knowledge of Maya, and after this tutorial i can say that I know Maya and I can build any model. Thank you so much! ^_^

How did you select the last fret individually. You grouped it at first right? i tried to ungroup it but not able to do so

Nice! Thank you.

The video is good, but the audio and video don't match a lot of times, you skip lot's of parts in audio while doing it. very helpful video though :)

You should press ctrl e to extrude

Very good video sir. Can you give a tutorial on how to make a high poly guitar like on the tumbnail? Cause when I do the poly just like in this video, I got a problem while doing checker uv mapping. Thanks

Great video..

Amazing! Learned a lot, but Why so many edge loops? Because in final render edges will bevel within loops and not ouside?

Can you add about the texturing for this?

This is fantastic. When I create the spiral for the string; if I go over 500 in rotation, it goes crazy and doesn't stay in that spiral shape. Why is that?

Thank u bro

OMG Amazing ~~

Plz. Make a video on texturing the guitar in substance painter

at about 31:45 I'm having trouble understanding. You say you deselected everything but the bridge and nut and hid everything, however, the coils are still visible. with that, are the coils live too? I can created a curve after making the bridge, nut and coils live, I can click all the way to the nut, but I can't click all the way to the curve to snaps the verts. I tried making the coils not live, and still can click the cv curve all the way to them. help please?

Can u make texturing and unwrapping video for this guitar

sir make video of maya basic please

what about showing key board what you pressed next video?

How do you smooth the guitar strings? The mesh > smooth only works for poly surfaces not for the nurbs extruded surfaces. And the way it is right now if I don't unsmooth it the strings go into the fret board. Please help. It would actually be helpful if there was a way to convert it to polysurface since just hitting modify>convert>nurbs to polygons completely botches the geometry I am unable to export the strings to substance painter.

I love you,mate
