Light Cycle (5th Generation)

Have not worked on this for awhile…
Anyway, here is the body…(the other one was just a placeholder as well as a proportional/ size guide)
I tried to get the topology as best as possible, but there is still work to be done…(obviously i guess)

lol, you took a day off… shame on you! Almost there, still looking good!

Probably like 2 or 3 but still, felt longer for some reason.

I wanted to try out inderect lighting…so in these images there are no lights at all. all the light is coming from the “neon strips”
(still basic black color, i just turned on reflectivity)

Whoa… nice! Composite in a touch of blur and you’re there! Are you going to do different colors too?

After i am done modeling, i will definitely try to make the render as nice as i can.
Still would have to improve all the materials, and make the floor look nice…
Yeah different colors, why not, not do different colors? :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue:

Out of interest how did you do the light panels on the bike? I mean did you cut them out or something?

Ah so the 3DS MAX guy has come back to inquire more about my awesome skillz at modeling in Blender! :stuck_out_tongue: lol JK

Well the lights on the wheels are just circles extruded some. And the ones on the body are actually part of the mesh right now. I am going to “cut them out” later, well more like extrude in and out i guess… But ill cross that bridge when i come to it.

BTW, do you have a WIP thread for your bike as well? Post a link, I would like to see your model as well. :slight_smile:

this is looking great !!!

i like this!!!

awesome lighting!!

Thanks!
Just to be clear though, there is no lighting…well standard lighting that is. This is all indirect! So yeah i am pleased with the result too!

Hi yes I will follow any thread that could show me how to do things, as I am still learning max (self taught). I was asking about your bikes light panels as I had tried cutting some into my bike and messed up the mesh big time so I started the body again.
Here is a render I did yestarday, of my bike


what does the spine section of your bike look like where it meets the rear of the bike on the inside?

Haha, now that’s the hard part now isn’t it!
I am still trying to figure that one out.

BTW i was asking if you had your own wip thread somewhere;)

I made the threads on the wheel…still has to be perfected though.

Ah ok, no I don’t do threads really as I feel my work really isn’t that great compared to work like this. I will ask for help on forums when I’m stuck, and weirdly a guy asked me if I wanted to do a colaberation on a tron scene using his girl friends face as corra. (we will see how that one works out :S

I’m more of a modeler just now trying to figure stuff out as I go, and as for adding textures pfft forget it thats just something else I need to learn.

Yes indeed it is a very tricky part to figure out.

But with that all said I still love what you have done so far :slight_smile:


Might help…

Holy! Dont tell me you did this! Did ya?!?
Now that is what i was actually going for but daaaang, i dont think i can do it quite like this.

Oh my god that is amazing :@

Don’t know until you try, you may just surprise yourself. Be patient with your work and keep going!

@FloorPlay: That’s impressive work indeed!

Everyone should just buddy-up and make light cycles =P This is a fun thread!

Make them real… I want one ;D

Floorplay do you have any whip thread for this? I. Take it was blender you used.

I just found some original concept work for the 5th generation lightcycle
