ToddW Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I personally don't like that tutorial. That method seems to be the best if you want the guitar to look good in pictures, but not if you want the 3D effect to move with the guitar. Was it Perry who put a tutorial inside a thread on this?

GermanFafian Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have gotten some very nice looking tops with the above mentioned method. I guess it has something to do with practice and messing up lots of wood. I think that Sorbera dude is using it and his guitars sure look good. Anyway. It is a good starting point nonetheless.

boundsteelblues Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Does anyone have pics of what the 3D method yields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanFafian Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Does anyone have pics of what the 3D method yields? Do a search for sorbera and it will probably yield some threads with some of his amazing work. I posted some pics for a similar tutorial in my blog GermanFafian Sorry it is not a really good example as it was done on a Swamp Ash guitar, but you'll get the idea. BTW the site is in spanish so you'll get to practice painting in another language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
