- This object is designed to be used with LightWave Modeler, part of the VideoToaster
- from NewTek, Inc.
- It is a copy of a Fender Stratocaster - used by so many of the famous rock
- guitarists.
-
- To view this object, use 'LZ' to unarc the file to your RAM: disk.
- The RGB images used for textures are JPEGged, so you will have to use the
- Public Domain version of the JPEG utility to convert them to RGB images
- (Available from the CIS libraries, search for JPEG). Or, you could use ADPro
- to convert them from JPEG to RGB.
-
- Then load the scene from within LightWave - everything is set to load from
- the RAM: disk.
-
- I am a independent VideoToaster artist working in the San Francisco Bay Area,
- and am putting this object out as an example of the calibre of work I am capable
- of supplying to paying customers.
- I am also hoping to encourage other LightWave artists out there to put some of
- their work on display.
-
- Even though I have spent over 40 hours making it look photorealistic, I have
- uploaded this file in the hope that other 3-D modelers will
- share THEIR creations with the rest of us.
-
- This is a GREATLY improved version of the Fender Stratocaster Guitar
- object that was originally uploaded to CompuServe as an Imagine object.
-
- Thanks go to the original uploader (who's name is now lost in antiquity
- [I tried, but couldn't find it - sorry]), and to the folks at
- Syndesis (makers of InterChange Plus for the Amiga) for converting
- the original object into a format more recognizable by LightWave.
-
- In essence, I took the original object, reduced it to the basic
- outlines, and then rebuilt almost every object from scratch.
- I also replaced some objects with more accurate versions - examples
- include: Knobs, Frets, TuningPegs & Knobs, Screws, etc.
-
- I have optimized the object for LightWave, and have about doubled the
- number of points around critical edges - such as the body of the guitar,
- and the pick guard. I have also created new surface attributes for virtually
- every surface on the object.
-
- Hopefully, others out there will be encouraged to upload their prize objects,
- so that we can build a library of objects for general use.
