rj001: Thanks, I agree that it seems to be doing pretty well with the import into Bryce, and I appreciate the compliment. Dann-O: Thanks to you also. I appreciate your comments on the detail. I started playing accordion six months ago, and I have never had so much fun learning an instrument in my life. Since then, I've heard accordion in a lot of places and on a lot of television shows -- more than I had previously realized. It's really a lot more versatile than a lot of people think. I've checked some of the details on this model with the accordion groups I subscribe to. Some of the guys on those lists -- the American ones at least -- are rather long in the tooth and have given me some valuable critiques. LOL They're as opinionated as 'rosity guys and gals. Meanwhile, the European guys, a lot of whom are younger, haven't been heard from yet, but I'm sure they'll chime in. There's some absolutely great music featuring accordion coming out of Europe, where the instrument continues to enjoy more popularity than it does here in the U.S. marcfx: Thanks. Very pun-ny. :) You are kind. I render quite a few tests, largely to check my geometry for defects, before I ever get to the final rendering. Bryce, on some things, is more forgiving of geometry anomalies than some of my other renderers. But, with Wings-generated .obj files, odd problems will show up, and I know I've got to go back to the drawing board sometimes. I hope to have some new renders fired up this afternoon/evening. It will include the bass side "fixed" and the wrist strap, which will protrude from the two holes you see beneath the 120 bass buttons, and the accordion brand name (waldoni). Then, if I'm not totally out of gas by that time, I'll add the last two touches to the model itself, which will be the shoulder straps and the back pad, which, on my accordion at least, is corduroy fabric and sits behind the keyboard on the treble side and just out a bit behind the bellows to protect the instrument from wear by preventing it from rubbing against one's body. Eventually, if I use this model to promote the hospital, it will have the hospital logo protruding in 3D where you see the brand name (on the gray render above). Sounds odd to use an accordion to promote a hospital, I realize, but no wierder than one ad campaign where I used a baseball I had modeled. I stamped the hospital logo on the ball and put on the ball the stamped words "Nor-League," a play on the Nor-Lea Hospital District's name. Beneath the ball on the poster, I put "When it comes to customer service, Nor-Lea is in a league of it's own." Modeling freaks like me have to find ways to use our craft, do we not? :) I may just have to use your "accordion to our patients..." pun. Do I need to put a fine-print footnote at the bottom? ;) Thanks for all the comments so far.
