Hoverbike

Nothing good in TV this evening anymore, not in the mood to work on my “Dali” pic, so i started a new pic after watching an episode of “American Chopper” 3 hours ago.

It’s not a Chopper but turns out to become some kind of futuristic Hoverbike.

pretty sweet i wish i had one

Nice model! How do you steer it??

currently working on it :wink:
After all it’s a wip 8) :smiley:

This took 3 hours!? :o that’s fast…

wow i didnt read that part that is fast that makes it even more impressive good job

If it were me id probably give it more of a brushed metal look and decrease the reflection. But its ur opinion so… %|

Yeah i thought about that. I’m still experimenting with the texture.
sometimes the texture guides the design and sometimes the design guides the texture.
i will try to use a brushed metal on some parts of the bike.

And btw. 3 hours isn’t really fast. it just worked from the beginning without problems. so, there wasn’t so much to correct.
I started with a plane and then extruded it, finally mirrored the mesh and joined it. The usual way. And after all, it’s far from being finished.

I did some minor advancements to the mesh.
Added a little wing, experimented with the colors (don’t consider this finished) and added some “hover” effect.

that model looks really nice… especially with such low polycount for subdiving :slight_smile:

its starting to look really nice, keep up the good work.
