Gibson 335 Custom: Post Mortem 01

Brandon Hix spent two weeks on creating this guitar image for his dad. After the project, he carefully reviewed each step in the process to learn how can be more efficient next time. He shares this detailed review on his blog.

This is a look back at a project I did recently digging into what I learned, some tips for your projects, and things I might do differently next time around. The project is a custom electric guitar modeled, shaded, and rendered entirely in Blender and Cycles. All the materials, except for masks, were created procedurally inside the node editor. I also cover some tips on achieving success when printing your 3d work on paper.
