[Azman]

Hello everyone,
its been a whle since ive posted but ive had a few exams. Now theyre done il be able to post more often. Anyway ive started making a Motorbike based on a Triumph Thunderbird.

Its my first vechicle model so any comments to make it better would be good.

Thanks

[Andrew_Pyott]

:confused:

[pbman]

[Azman]

[Azman]

[pbman]

[Anm8or]

good start. . .an employee of my fathers had this bike. it was very cool at the time. lookin forward to seeing this finished.

[arran]

Yeah - this looks like a good start. Looking forward to seeing some more updates.

[Azman]

hello again
just a quick update on the bike. im havin some trouble with making the engine because theres so many parts and hardly any images of bike engines. so i thought id work more on the main shape first.
more updates soon.:beer:

[mc-fleury]

its looking good overall.im waiting for updates!

[pbman]

i told u azman u coould just ask me to take some pics for u its no problem
email me if u want some!

ne way so far so good!!!
but me thinks that the tachometer and ther odometer(revs an speed counter) needs to be a bit bigger

good luck

[Azman]

hello again

another quick update. the frame is finished and im just gonna start working on the details.
im hoping to use some hdri on it to get a more realistic effect but i il have to see how it comes out.

more updates soon

all comments welcome
thanks :beer:

[pbman]

lookin nice

amn thats gonna get complicated wen u populate it

good luck man:attn: :beer:

[arran]

yeah - good work Azman - this is coming together to nice.

[Azman]

hello all

i think im gettin close to the end of the modelling, theres a few holes to fill in with the engine but it shouldnt take too long.
i was told that the engine is different on each side but all the images i found all have the same things on both sides, if anyone knows if this is right could you let me know.

im hoping to HDRI the bike to make it look more realistic but il have to see how to do this properly.

more updates soon
thanks
all comments welcome

[G-Man]

[pbman]

pbman

[pbman]

pics on their way to u now

heres a pi to get u started its photos merged together as i couldnt get a ls
its a liilt low in qual though

enjoy

[Azman]

hello

i havent updated this for a while, been a bit busy, but i have been texturing.

Im using HDRI to see if i can get a photoreal look to the bike.
Heres my first test render, not all of its textured yet.

i dont like the way the engine is looking but im not sure if i can change the HDR image to make it effect certain parts of the engine less.
If any one knows if this is possible could u let me know.

Thanks

all comments welcome:beer:

[Azman]

another quick update

I tried to change the colour of the metal, just the tires and lights left.(...oh and the background cause thats a bit weird)

all comments welcome

thanks:beer:

the modeling looks pretty decent, but in the engine area it's kinda tough to make out. i think you need to work on making your chrome a little more dirty or less perfectly reflective so people can make out shapes instead of just staring into a mirror...

[pbman]

hey man
getting there slowly but surely

i agree on the engine lookin like a mirror
i also think i looks a little too thin but i dont know if that is jut the angle

i like the way the spoke an rims r looking though
oh an i like the colour on the tank

keep it up

[Azman]

hello

thanks for the comments guys, youre right about the miror look on the engine, il work on the reflectivity and post up an update soon.

i might make two versions. A new and dirty versions to practice some of the texturing differences, thanks for the idea NeoStrider.

pbman, i might take another look at those blueprints you sent me just to check the shapes again, thanks.

More updates soon
Thanks
:beer:

[marlonjohn]

haha great job... looks astonishing. when you do your tires, you will be rolling out of here which a great model. :beer:

[Azman]

hello everyone

another update. the wheels are in but i think its the angle of the camera so theyre not very noticable.

Unfortunately ive got to stop working on this for a while because ive got to do some other stuff.

Hopefully ill be able to come back to it to finish off the minor adjustments.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and help throughout.

Thanks again
:beer:

[pbman]

its a shmae to see u stop hopefully ull start this project back up

good luck man
