Neil. Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 with customs? you mean the guitars or the render things? the render things i've been doing about two weeks lol. the guitars, my first i was 15/16, my second was 5 years later and my third (the purple mirror MoC) was 5 years after that lol! i meant the guitars. I took a look at indigo by the way. It definitely has some things that vray doesn't have. I'll probably stick with vray for the moment, cos it's got a lot of import/export things that i use with other programs and cos i've been using it for about a month or so at the mo, but ill leave indigo in my sketchup arsnal, cos i'm sure ill find a use for it at some stage. good find btw. The custom im doing this summer will be my first. Im making the body with a friend of mine, and depending on how it turns out, we might try to sell it. There's a lot of great bands in our university, and there's always notices for people selling equipment in the students union. No harm in trying, it might be a nice way to make a few quid. (at least im optimistic!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 hehe yeah i found indigo by typing 'sketchup renderer FREE' in google hehe my first, while playable, isnt too great. but then i was 15/16, i had never made anything more than a toy jalloppi at school, and didnt play guitar when i made it. so its not bad considering hehe.

tomrulez Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 They look really good, I've never really got on with sketch up, perhaps its because I've used autodesk inventor for as long as I can remember but you can certainly use sketch up well. I'm really impressed by those renders also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 no i did the bridge from scratch. just found a pdf of the dimensions and drew it from that. stewmac usually has pdf's of its products and wd has some too. if i can do it it cant be that hard, sketchup is the first 3d cad thing iv ever used so it cant be that difficult hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Not working for me either, you don't seem to have given your click to enter link the full path of the home.htm page which is why I think it's causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addyjoe Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Working for me, but the background gradient is making the text a bit hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackplug Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Not working for me either, you don't seem to have given your click to enter link the full path of the home.htm page which is why I think it's causing problems. Yeah, it needs to link to afugiteosdkwhatever.com/home.htm instead of just 'home.htm'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 it is now. or it should. or at least it does for me. and jack - couldnt get those forms to work so i just took them off. they replied and told me what to do but i didnt get it at all. ah well, its no great loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nah still doesn't link to the right location, it seems to point towards a local location now and not a location on your web server. It needs to point to http://www.afguitars.co.uk/homepage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 thats what it says on mine. grr this is very annoying. maybe it works on mine right away but needs time to change on others? i dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) gonna be starting a new one soon - a jnr. type thing. so no fancy wood tops or inlays or anything like that. it'll be a solid mahogany (or something) guitar with a natural or solid colour finish. its going to have three 15 year old burns tri-sonic pups with master vol + tone (with push/pull to introduce the neck pup), a 5-way lever (usual strat selections) and 3-way lever (series/phase/parallel - or something) the only thing i dont know is which shape to do. im leaning towards one of the decos. any thoughts?

tomrulez Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I saw your post on project guitar and this is sounding interesting, hopefully you will get GOTM again. I can't see the images at the moment as I'm at college and photobucket images are blocked but I'll update this post when I get home. Edit; I think either the middle one or the left deco, the middle one has my vote though. Edited June 27, 2008 by Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 i like the second from the left. It looks like it's got elements from a MoC and something like a Jaguar.... can't quite put my finger on it..... looks/sounds like a nice project. any thought on finished etc?
