Hi Tiger Mike,

Thanks for your input but have a look at the picture I supplied of the guitar it has to follow the profiles so give that beautiful s transition and follow the profile right around the guitar. As I said I get very close but the horns of the guitar go hay wire. On Rhino I can do it no issue but shapr proving to be not easy to work out as its surface tools are limited on for this type of feature.
simply is goes from a top flat a nice S transition and then a flat very slight curve at the bottom around the profile created.
Thanks

Chris

Hi Mike,

Thanks but thats only a curve in one direction, have a look at the picture I supplied on the arch top Epiphone and see its a complicated curve.

Thanks

It gets a bit tricky with that method but you can use it to pull portions of a body up on one side and down on the other. It won’t let you go to far, but maybe enough to make it work.

Are you using guide curves? You can have as many as you need to define the way that each element of the loft reaches the next level. For complex shapes the loft often goes haywire without them. You may in fact only need two layers with guide curves to create your guitar body.
