Acoustic Guitar

I modeled my acoustic guitar because I wanted to get some practice modeling real things, instead of cartoons all the time:)
I modeled it in Cinema 4D and it took about 6 hours to render!! (I think my macs getting slower and
slower :/)

So here's the final render of it. Because of the time it took, I only rendered two, but I'm planning on adding it to my portfolio so I'll do a few more eventually.

I'm really starting to dislike Cinema 4D's render engine because of its slightly cartoon-like renders. It's not as noticeable in the second render, but I think it stands out quite a lot in the one above. I'm going to start looking for a new render engine.

 

I found a render engine called Maxwell. It renders images extremely realistically but it takes days for one render, so for me it could only ever be any good for still images. As a test I took this model and rendered it using a Maxwell. So far it has taken 72.53 hours to render 56%!!!

This is it so far...

It started off very noisy but it's starting to smooth out now. Some parts are starting to look more realistic but I'm a bit worried that it's blue. I'm not sure if that's going to change colour when it finishes rendering. I'm using the demo so that's why there's a watermark in the middle but I'm hoping I can get away with getting rid of it in Photoshop. I was quite surprised that it hasn't slowed my computer down at all, so it hasn't been a problem using other software at the same time. If this render turns out well, I think it would be a really good render engine to have for still images, especially for my portfolio. There's still 54.26 hours left so I'll update this when it's finished.
