My first generic sport bike is finally complete, and there’s not much left to say about it. Check out the final (for now) gallery of images for this machine. Do you think I made a good looking bike here? Does it remind you of another bike? Let me know by commenting below. (more…)

Another image of my Generic Sport Bike
I’ve been working on this project for a long time. It’s very close to being finished and I wanted to share a render from the end of the modeling phase. About 99% of the geometry is completed at this point and I’m about to begin the texturing phase. Unlike my previous models, this bike will not be fully UV Mapped. The model uses geometry to tell most of the story instead of heavy use of texture maps.

I’ve thought a lot about the state of the web and 3D lately. This is odd as I haven’t done much research into WebGL other than checking out a few of the examples that are sent my way by friends and or co-workers in the web industry.
As a web programmer by day and a 3D artist in my spare time (or what little is left of it) I’ve actually switched roles and viewpoints since I was a 3D only guy.
Back in my 3D days I was what I now call an “end user”.

More W.I.P. Images of My Latest Bike Model
Here are a couple more images of my progress on the “Generic Sport Bike”. One of the challenges with this model is knowing when a part is done. It’s easy to get carried away with the details.
In the images, you can see the “rear hugger” and the tail (more…)

Detailed View of Front Fender and Mounts
Here are a couple of shots of the front fender mounts on my latest bike model. I’m not working from much reference material for this bike, so these are just off the top of my head. The brighter image is the same as the darker image, but with the exposure increased so you can see the mount in the shadows from the reverse side.
This might also be a nice opportunity to criticize me for the absurdity of creating Subdivision based brake rotors. *wink*
