When motorsport was motorsport and pilots were pilots… As a big enthusiast, I am increasingly disheartened to see how motorsport has become somewhat ridiculous over the years, which reminded me of what Kevin Schwantz said about the right time to brake… So I came up with the idea of reliving some great moments with this project. Initially, I planned to create a diorama (which I really like) that is isometric and low-poly, but since it’s my first attempt at both, I struggled to decide how to set up the scene. Then I opted for a more dynamic shot while still aiming to maintain the diorama/model effect. Just to keep it simple I also decided to try at drawing myself the textures of the bikes and riders using a software I’ve never used before (Inkscape, beautiful software!) and to tackle rigging and posing (also new to me). So, there are a lot of firsts here… I sweated, but I had a lot of fun in the process. I hope you like it, your opinions are welcome. Thank you. ![Kevin_Wayne___front](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/e/b/5/eb50070b1d3d7985ace105919eb8f87db3bac274.jpeg) ![Kevin_Wayne___back](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/a/d/0/ad05672e121172e332a34f095ba9a43012869eed.jpeg) ---

Lovely concept! As a fan myself of those times (which I lived in my early years) I absolutely love the idea and realization. The only thing is that I would have made the Yamaha a little more rounded overall, but again great concept! I instinctively clicked on the thumbnail and didn’t notice the low poly design, it’s outstanding! I assume that you wanted to picture the famous Hockenheimring episode. ---

Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you liked it, especially because you’re an enthusiast too. And yes, your trained eye is right: in the end I staged something similar to the legendary overtaking in Hockenheim but I changed my mind so many times during the process (the Laguna Seca Corkscrew with Schwantz solo or Donington or… :)), hard choice and my mind was exploding, haha. This is why some details do not correspond to the Hockenheim episode (Kevin’s helmet for example) then I set the scene just a little bit more generic. Thanks! ---

I really think a subdiv surface modifier would go real well on these bikes! And make them look realistic, you should try it! ---

Thank you. I started to work on a regular version of Kevin’s RGV500… I’m too passionate to stop just with this 🕶, but this means that I have to rework on textures and this is discouraging me a lot ---

Hey man, to be honest this work is amazing, I like a lot how even with the low poly models you achieve a impresive result! ---

Good work BG, It looks very real, it is until You zoom in that You see the polygons, nice mix!.
