Making of a Violin

In my last post I introduced the work I made about a young violonist, working on the violin by itslef was very challeging for me, but the end result made me really proud ! 

A violin was for me the most complicated object I had to make , but overall, I really enjoyed making this object ! I learned new ways to work and it greatly helped with modeling which was a hard part for me at the start of my studies in 3D animation !

Luckily for me, a dear friend of mine lend me her violin, it was the very first time i had seen a violin so close, which was very helpful to understand how much this object is delicate, and how it works. I took a lot of pictures of it and had it right next to me while working, so I could look precisely the details

Here is a breakdown from modelling to texturing : 

I used Maya for the Modeling, Lighting and Texturing was done with Renderman on may. The little paintings all over the instrument were made by hand on Clip Studio Paint

And to close this page, here is a turn of the instrument :
