nice start....

waiting for updates

[Dr.N]

i LOVE it , its so cool

[neo_mosher_zion]

im glad you guys like it sooo much... im going to try out some new sketches and ill post them... you see for the wheels i was pretty much just doing the model right out of my head... but now the model in my head has a somewhat impossible body to it... and thats where sketching is gonna come in i should have them by the end of the day, then ill start workin on the body in 3d

[neo_mosher_zion]

update.. i did work on the front of the bike buuuuuut it wasnt presentable by my standerds soooo i deleted it.

[neo_mosher_zion]

and another update

[Cyrenn]

Looking super, Neo.

Im really digging it. Keep up the hard work.

Cyrenn

[Dr.N]

great .. thas so cool ,

- Youll put a steering ? or ur gonna continue justt like a normal motorcycle ?

[RickStefani]

It is starting well but it also is taking on the look of the bike from Akira. Not that that is a bad thing at all becaue I love that bike.

Edit, well just the seat that is so maybe the bike is completely deferent.:roll: :o

[sarN]

I was gonna say the same thing as rick :) i saw part of that movie, the bikes pretty cool. Yours is looking good neo, i love the impalers on the front lol. Are you using concepts?

[neo_mosher_zion]

yea i was majorly inspired by the akira design... but this is holefully going to look like a bigger longer maybe cooler design... i might even be sleazy and put a BMW or mercadies sign on it(if you saw akira you'd know kanadas bike was a BMW)

sorry no update yet just got home

[Dedalo]

Nice concept man, looks realy good.

[neo_mosher_zion]

update time

[neo_mosher_zion]

another shot

[neo_mosher_zion]

and wit textures

[Joe-Q]

wow very nice model ,but i dont like the texture that much ,it's too shiny... other than that every thing is cool

[neo_mosher_zion]

heres a update to the red paint... added a reflection... and shanced the shine a bit tell me what ya think

[neo_mosher_zion]

heres another shot

[RodrigoRosa]

MUCH better

[neo_mosher_zion]

thanks... are there any mesh problems you guys are seenin? any crits?

[MattyG]

wow

[Dr.N]

nice looking dude ,
will u add any background or something ?

[Torlok2002]

One major problem I have with this is the spikes at front and back. I personally think they shoudl go. IF not i would suggest shortening them up or adapting them into something functional

Functionality is what drives design...


O and btw, great design on the rest, and beautiful paint!

i don't see the spikes as a major problem.... i like it...

peace

[Dr.N]

they might be a bit too long , but they are fine , keep them :D

[neo_mosher_zion]

im glad you guys like the model.... as for the spikes i dunnno if they would to not but the only way i can think of them being bad would be for REAL sharp turns..... and collisions with people/cars(but in these cases its there problem not yours) lol

heres a side view that actualy shows something im not prowd of you see the distance between the window and the fron wheel wasnnt suposed to be large so i could keep the whole sport bike look... however to keep it that close i had to bend smething lol

[neo_mosher_zion]

heres a update that im not sure if ill keep cause it basicly just has random things that may or may not add to the bike

[neo_mosher_zion]

and wit the textures

[neo_mosher_zion]

im working on this scene. for the scene im going to collect adds to put on the bike and the wall. then ill add a background better lighting... and prolly actual grass and not just grey for the road. also the bike in the background may be a diferent color im thinking white or blue something like that... it might hav different adds also... this depends on how many adds i get, or make. seeing as this is a futuristic scene i might add cool futuristic adds or floating adds in the background... also the bikes are driverless

[novoAlias]

cool, keep working on the scene :)

[Dr.N]

nice work , , there will be a driver ? :???:

[neo_mosher_zion]

yea of crouse there wil be a driver... im not sure how much time ill spend but im gonna try and make the cloths as realistic as possible... as for helmets one will have a black(closest to cam) the driver further back will have a white helmet cause eventualy he'll have a different colored bike

[RickStefani]

Very nice work so far but the tire does bother me because I can see flat spots. I can almost hear the thump----thump---thump--thump--d-d-d-d-d-d-d.

I realy like the seat and front fairing.

[neo_mosher_zion]

yea i know what your talking about rick... more or less i do know how to fix it but it would mean making a comppletely new wheel... plus copying again to put it on the other one. il get around to doing it after i perfect the scene some more.

[SamAdam]

With the combination of the bumpy tires and the huge divots in the track this thing is getting nowhere. Maybe scale down the bump map on the road. Looks nice.

[neo_mosher_zion]

way to see... theres no bump map on the road... heres a update.. i didnt re do the tires but i tryed seein what theyd look like blured... while i was at it i blured the scene hehehe tell me what ya think

[Cyrenn]

The bike looks super Neo.

To be honest the last render with the blur kinda looks like the bike is going in reverse. Only because of the backdrop. The blur looks like its going in the wrong direction.

Keep up the good work.

Cyrenn

[lilCara]

yeah this looks very good, nice concept:!!!:

... but... the textures are too low res and I'm waiting for better illumination, but you said you'll work on that so I trust you :D

oh, and I was thinkin'... how does the bike steer? The wheels don't look like they can turn.

[neo_mosher_zion]

Cyrenn > yea my bad i did by mistake blur the wheels in the wrong direction... but mind you im doing the blurs in photo shop so next image will have it the right way.

lilCara > yea i know the textures are a little shotty... in the end ill prolly make a bran new wall texture... then put a skylight in maybe use a friends computer and render it in brazil :) soo well see

sorry no update this time

[Cyrenn]

From the looks of it. I'm pretty sure the Bike turn on the pivot from where the feet are planted.

I'm pretty sure the Bike would barley need to pivot to be able to steer it.

From what I remember of the Akira Bike. The mostly leaned with the bike to steer it. I could be wrong.

Cyrenn

[neo_mosher_zion]

update after a long week

[ignanacho]

It looks excellent, the only thing that i would change is the things were you poot your feet. They don't match the whole concept of the bike.

[neo_mosher_zion]

well my friend actualy said i should spent a few hrs just addin litle details and things into the model to make it alot better looking. mind oyu if i have time for that then ill do it... as for keeping them with the design the only thing i can think of wouold be making them angled back a bit maybe... or having a extra hunk of plastic that would be attached to the outer end of it that would actualy protect the riders foot. the general design that i wanted to make was a chopper with a sport bike attitude sooo with that in mind most of ou will prolly understand why i put the foot holds like i did.

[neo_mosher_zion]

update time :)

[Dr.N]

hmm , i dont really like that gold colour with thr red , ( bad contrast ) !

[novoAlias]

hmm you could try the following
blak and yellow
black and orange

[neo_mosher_zion]

ill try black an yellow but first im gonna make a red an black

im just gonna stop doing the blurs up in photo shop, they take time and every thime i change colors i gotta re do them lol

[neo_mosher_zion]

heres a update yet again

[neo_mosher_zion]

clay

[neo_mosher_zion]

wire

[geoMan]

nice..

[lilCara]

The clay version looks much better than the textured one. Really. Cuz the textured version is too blurry and dark... imo...

[sarN]

i think lilcara is right, you used too much blur, and the colors do seem too dark. The textured one looks like you really took a picture of a small toy instead of a full blown machine

[Dr.N]

the textured one has bad quality

[neo_mosher_zion]

ok well then thias is the one without blurs.... its crappy cause it looks like the things not moving

[FireJin3]

Wait....... is that the front of the back?

[Dr.N]

good point lol

no i think its the front ,,

[geoMan]

no i think its the front ,,

LOL...its the front right!

[neo_mosher_zion]

which end do you think is front?
why is this a problem i thought it would be obvious

[sarN]

its pretty obvious its the right side lol

[Dr.N]

IT IS obvious but when it was on the road it wasnt that clear

[neo_mosher_zion]

alrighty im fine with a little comfusion its fine with me, im guessin though that most ppl get it that its the front end pointing to the right. anywhoo heres a update with a extra bike that im thinkin if i should leave it or scrap it

[Sathe]

the bike itself looks really great, and a very cool design!. i think if you are going to use this road scene change the texture of the road to look like a racetrack or something and maybe incease the resloution. looks bad even when it is blured. cya
