Very nice detail work.

With your updates, please mention the tools and processes you are using to create these objects.

I want to learn!

Cheers and keep it up. Looking great.

Another update, pretty much done with the modeling, started some material tests. More to come soon. Oh and Gantra for the majority of the detail work it was just a good bunch of extruding and booleans. If theres anything specific you would like to know how I did let me know and I would be more than happy to share.

This is really good futuristic design. I think add little details in the wheels too for the grip on the road. And some number plate style in the back may be a LCD panel. Good going.

thanks ashras, theres is actually already a spot on the back for a license plate area an LCD is a great suggestion so ill definitely give that a go. Im also working out a way to have sort of a holographic HUD within the windshield area but it will mainly be done with textures. As for the wheels its actually a hover design that will work on the principle of opposite forces so the hope is to give it a glowing pulse look to make it look like its pushing out against whatever is underneath it making it runnable on water or land

another render of the material test, got the paint about where I want it.

Hi evolution
Is it a motorcycle? Very great modeling. And it's very futuristic. As Gantra said it's very detailed. Very nice work.

Hey silvan thanks, yes it is a futuristic hovering motorcycle!

On a side note Ashras any idea why the forum keeps coming up with a forbidden error page the first time I try and view any of the posts. If I refresh it goes away but no matter what it always initially pops up. Problem just started this week.

Another update on the materials, sorry there has been so much time between updates I have been moving and also just got a new laptop so have been in the process of transferring alot of stuff and fighting vista.... Anywho some feedback would be great, still need to add some blur and glow to the hover pads to make them look more convincing and play a bit more with the glass material, then I'll move on to the "engine" components and handle bars. Im really hoping to have time to put this into some sort of scene but I'll have to hurry!

your model is good but your textures are not looking good especially glow even on tires too.

by **Silvan** » 18 Aug 2007, 08:10

Hi evolution
Modelling and textures is great. But the colors are dark. Reflection is great too.
Good luck!

by **evolution** » 25 Aug 2007, 18:23

Cool_Animator: thanks for your comment I worked on the materials some more and would love to hear more feedback on them. Im also still working with the glow... its becoming a bit tricky to get right.

Silvan thanks for the support glad you like it, I've lightened it up some, let me know if its still to dark!

Here is another update, still working with the glow not really happy with it yet. Also started on the environment so I'll have some updates on that soon. As always any critiques would be great.

by **cool_animator** » 25 Aug 2007, 20:30

your scene is looking much better and glow is very good now but in place for glowing whole sphere a volume light is coming from the glowing cuts then will be amazing. And this you can achieve through material id in texture.

What about adding some stickers and making sitting area more comfortable with proper leather seats.

Currently black area above glowing tyres is looking empty.

by **Silvan** » 26 Aug 2007, 07:12

Hi evolution
As cool_animator said, your scene is looking much better. And, you are very perfect on the textures.

I agree with cool_animator's viewpoint. You must add a sitting area.
Really, this motorcycle is very futuristic.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
