Lightwave 3D Tutorial (Modeling) : Create 3D Guitar

Make a Guitar

1. First off, it's useful to have a picture to base yourself. So got your picture and set to go.

In lightwave, make this picture as your backdrop on the face view.

This will be a great guide for your work, without it everything would be guesses and it would be far from exact.

2. Now, start with the guitar's body.

Start off by laying points (shift +) around the shape of the body.

Once your done press ctrl + p to make a spline.

You can then move/add/remove the points until you are satisfied with how they are place, then press ctrl+d to freeze that spline.

Name that surface "Guitar Body - Front" .

Pick a color and set some specularity.

3. Now extrude it on the "z"-axis.

Whatever distance you see fit, depending on the guitar your modeling.

Select the polygons on the "x" axis, and name that surface to "Guitar body - side" .

Select the back poly, and name it "Guitar Body - Back".

4. Now, enough on the body for now, we'll get back to that later.

Let's move on the neck of the guitar

Open a new layer, create an elongated elliptical disc on the "x" axis, and then on another layer, create a box that covers the front portion of it, and with the disc layer selected and the box layer in the background, perform a boolean substract (shift b).

Then performed a taper along the "y" axis because it is not a perfect rectangle.

5. Name your disc surface "Neck - Back", and your box surface "Neck - Front".

For the frets, just made a disc which cut in half along the neck - front, and adjusted some points (with knife tool and drag tool) and copied it while placing it along the neck where they belong.

Finally performe the same taper as the neck, so the size adjusted with the neck.

6. There, now you can adjust that booleaned disc so it fits how you would like it too.

Next we will move on to the head of the guitar, you could do this two ways depending on

the shape.

Chose to use the same technique as you did on the body, which is make a spline, freeze it (ctrl+d), and extrude it.

Make sure that it fits nicely into the neck of the guitar and there you go. for the little thingies on the head, made a spline and lathed it, made a disc on another layer and substracted it from the

lathed object.

7. Enough of that, now for the details on the body.

Just made a box, metaform (shift+d) a couple of times, depending on how sharp the corners, then selected the inside polygons and place sized them up.

Once you satisfied with that smooth shifted them (shift + f) and pushed them back in

the "z" axis and put on metanurbs (tab).

Then renamed it to "Chrome parts" because its a nice and shiny pickup and smooth shifted again and this time moved it the other way in the "z" axis.

For the screws,

its just a flattened ball with a rectangle booleaned out of them.

8. Now for the pick guard, again went with the spline / freeze / extrude technique.

After layed out the points, ctrl+p to make the spline, adjust the points, ctrl+d to freeze,

ctrl+e to extrude on "z" axis.

Then just moved it around, rotated it, moved some poly's until it fit nicely into guitar.

9. For the strings, could of just made a disc and stretched it, knifed it, moved some polys etc. But the other way was to make a spline.

Following the path of the string, and then on another layer make a disc about the size of the string.

Now with the disc layer selected and the spline in the background layer, press ctrl+r and perform a rail extrude.

Default settings are good but make sure your disc is at the start of your spline or else

everything will screw up, the same rotation helps too.

Now repeat this process for the rest of your strings.

Hope you'll enjoy the tutorial

Lightwave 3D Tutorial (Modeling Basics) : Create 3D Frame

Check out our latest free tutorial:

Thanks to Mr Taufik for the knowledge sharing...

Create 3D Animation Logo

Creating a 3D Logo

Step 1: Load LightWave Modeler and set up your workspace the way you like it. I prefer

the Default setup.

Step 2: To import the vector file bring up the EPSF Loader under File/Import in Modeler.

This brings up the EPSF Loader window:

Curve Division Level determines how many vertices are applied to the curve of the geometry. For this example we will use the default setting "Standard".

Convert to allows you to choose between the type of geometry that you would like to convert the Vector art to.

We will use the Default setting "Closed Polygons & PolyLines". EPSF File requestor. This is where you select the file to import. For this example we will use a familiar logo.

When Auto Axis Drill is selected, LightWave will automatically perform an operation to remove the holes in the geometry. An example of this would be the holes in the letter "B" or "O". For this example we will want this selected.

Auto Centering does just that. It automatically centers the object. We will leave this selected.

The Scale setting allows you toscale your object before it is created.We will use the Default setting "0.01".

With the settings from above, the EPSF Loader window looks like this:

Step 3: Click OK.

Step 4: Now that we have the Logo in LightWave, we can make it 3D. Select the Extrude

Tool, "Multiply/Extend : Extrude".

Step 5: With the Extrude tool selected Left Click and drag the cursor up in the Top view port.

Use the blue "T" handle to adjust the depth of the extrusion.

Step 6: Press the "Enter" Key to apply the changes.

Done for Part 1

Part 2: Surfacing the Logo

Step 1: Load the Beveled Logo that you just created if it is not already loaded. Choose Surface (q), (Detail/Polygons: Surface).

Step 2: Change the Name to "Sides", pick a Color using the color picker, and Select Smoothing. The Change SurfaceWindow should look like the image below.

Step 3: Click OK.

Step 4: Lasso select (Right Click and Drag) the Bevel and Front polygons on the entire 3D Logo.

Step 5: Surface these Polygons with the following settings:

Step 6: With the polygons still selected, unselect the Front faces by clicking on them.

Click OK.

The logo should look something like this:

Save your work and Done For Part 2

Part 3: Animating the Logo

Step 1: Load the Surfaced Logo from the previous page into Layout. (Items/Add; Load Object)

Your scene should look something like the image below:

Step 2: We want our animation to last for 6 seconds, so we need to change the Last frame

on the Timeline. For NTSC animators that would be 180 frames, and for PAL animators,

that is 150 frames. (180 frames/30 frames a second = 6 seconds).

Step 3: Change theWorkspace viewport to Camera.

Step 4: Move the Frame Slider to frame 180.

Step 5: With the Logo still selected Move (Items/Tools: Move) the Logo closer to the Camera and then select the Rotate (Items/Tools: Rotate) tool and Rotate it so that it has a dramatic look at the end of the animation. Here is what I came up with:

Step 6: Create a Key Frame (Enter key) or (Create Key located at the bottom of the screen). This tell LightWave that it needs to remember the Logo's location and orientation at frame 180.

Step 7: Go back to Frame "0" and move the Logo off screen in the upper-left hand corner.

Step 8: Create a Key Frame.

Step 9: Use the play button to see an OpenGL preview of the animation you just created.

Step 10: Move the Frame slider to the mid-point (either 75 or 90 frames). Move and Rotate the to the center of the screen. I went with some wacky rotation on mine below. Create a Key Frame and Play an OpenGL preview of the animation.

Step 15: Play of your animation and enjoy the results.
