Violin study

Here is a violin I made to dive deeper into modeling, procedural shading and even some first steps with geometry nodes.
It was a very interesting study where I didn't hesitate to model several time the same piece in order to truly understand the reasons behind some common known "rules" such as quad topology or proper UV unwrapping.
I love the result and can safely say that I learned once more so much along the way!
