Hey Cameron. The tutorial is a Lightwave tutorial. I have to admit, the guys guitar looks fantastic once it's complete, textured, lit, etc.
I made mine with max a few years ago, and I do have to say that although the my render looks pretty good, the mesh is a bit of a mess. Well, the body is anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to check out the link.
Peter.
p.s. I'm currently working on a spot where these robots are playing football in the city. Crashing itno buildings, etc. I'm going to use a very flat looking style. ( Don't tell Tyson )
