    Re: Shifty's 3Ds Max/After Effects Renders and JUNK.

    Engine, transmission(?), Brake discs and calipers, Front and rear sprockets.



    Rims, Tires, Foot pegs, Hand grips, and Exhaust (can't see it in this shot). I also did some work on the forks and connected the front fender to it.



    The discs still need some work, I want them to be drilled/slotted, and the calipers aren't actually connected to anything.

    Next is gas tank, brakes and clutch, wiring/tubing, and then the plastic body pieces don't know what they are called).


    Edit: Coming along nicely, I think.

    Rear Tire Assembly:



    Front Tire Assembly:

    Ok, did a LOT of smaller detail work, still not finished, but it's getting close.

    I added some body panels (faring?), tweaked the rims/tires, added all the hose and cabling, minor work on the wheel assembly, yadda yadda yadda, and blah blah blah.

    Here's what I have.



    I want to "finish" the fairings, add some extra details to the wheel rubber and to the frame metal as well.

    Anyhow, hope some one enjoys these.

    PS: The front tire is exactly the same size as the rear, I jacked up the perspective view somehow and it's throwing off the render's perspective...

    No. It takes 3 minutes to render 1 frame, so I don't think I'll be testing much animation.

    Re: Shifty's 3Ds Max/After Effects Renders and JUNK.

    A few more screen shots, this is a video project I am currently working on so motion blur is turned on. I'll try to post some regular (clear) 3Ds Max renders of the finished bike at the end of the post.

    Sorry, these are a bit large....

    Front Fork:



    Handlebars:



    The Rear (or Redlynx) tire:




    Ok, here's a few screens from 3DsMax.

    Wire Frame:



    And the final version of the motorcycle. Not a bad project to get "started" with. The motorcycle ended up with 314,100 polygons, which is a few more than needed. I have multiple faces where one would do, and I could probably take the count down to 250-300k easily.


    Edit:

    Duh, I didn't post an actual render of the finished bike....

    Oh wow, didn't think there would be pictures and exciting trailers. Keep at it, you multi-talented beast-monkey.

    Ummm. Probably about 8 hours for the bike. If I made another it would probably take around 2-3 hours as most of what I did was trial and error trying to find a way to accomplish what I wanted to do when I didn't have a clue.

    This whole project is insanely fun because I enjoy learning new things and 3D modeling allows me to build without breaking out a welding torch or knowing all of the technical aspects of something.

    I didn't know if my second project should be so involved when I started, but it turned out a bit better than I thought it would.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    That's crazy awesome! Can't wait to see this "video project" you speak of using the bike.
