Ah yea the thing to soften the edges.. 1. Download Dynamesh Master to make the entire process MUCH easier. 2. Bring model into Zbrush, Dynamesh each part to a high enough resolution so details are not lost. 3. Use the polish modifier in the deformations tab (play with open/closed circle to choose polish method). 4.…
Some quick things on the guitar: There's actually a thick piece of wood under the body of the guitar and also several small wood planks on the bottom. The guitar neck is also really wide for an acoustic, the neck gets skinnier and skinnier towards the top. I also recommend adding a circle design around the hole of the…
Wacom is pronounced Wah-Com. Says so on their AboutPage. It's a fusion of two japanese words. Wa is for "harmony" or "circle", and Komu for "computer". Z-Brush gets its name because your painting/sculpting in the Z axis, instead of just the usual Y and X axis with regular canvas. So technically if its just the letter…
No worries, everyone has their own schedule. Yes, I meant 'actual' modeling. In the first image, the center dark tile appears to be a flat polygon, but only the circles in the center and along the edges appear to be modeled and pushed down some. And the outer form of the whole brass tile shape appears to stand up from the…
Thanks for the quick replies. The area circled in blue shouldn't be sculpt-able. It has to stay where it is, although everything outside of it can be sculpted. I need to use Masks on the rest of the model...so I'm worried that if I simply mask this area, as soon as I clear masks it will have to be masked again and again.…
I don't really understand the design. it look really really heavy and cumbersome. I think the metal is too thick. Is there a reason the beam in the middle is there? Also with the amount of erosion on the metal, I'd expect to see more damage with the wood. The wood at the moment look really flat. What created the circle…

It's almost done! What do you think?? Hope I'll finish the walk animation in time.…
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Im thinking of making my own detect edges node, now you cant have just a little bit of roundness. I do like the reddish stones in the circles. Good call. The stones are a bit too smooth, and i might have cranked the height up a bit too much (wanted to have it visible :) . The…
That's the thing though, they're not expensive at all. A bamboo fun is fairly cheap, and is easily a hundred times better than using a mouse. I mucked about with a mouse for a fairly long time, but back then the cheapest Wacom wasn't that cheap. The extra control that pressure sensitivity brings is worth the purchase, and…
@ Vig: Hinge from Edge is called "Wedge" in the Edit Mesh menu. Selection Sets are called "Quick Select Set", to make one select what you want, then go Create > Sets > Quick Select Set. To select one, go Edit > Quick Select Sets, then select one of the ones you've made. It'll also appear in the outliner as a dark blue…
