2006 Buell XB-12R 3D Model

The Buell XB-12R. A thumping V-Twin, monster torque and American muscle all packed into a sport-bike package. This model was commissioned for a client who had certain specifications in mind. The polygon count needed to be higher that my models in the past, especially in the wheels and brake rotors. (the renderings of the bikes shown use their low-resolution alternatives) Read More

2005 Suzuki Hayabusa 3D Model

The Hayabusa has long been one of the more popular bikes with a greater than 1000cc motor. The 1300cc motor on this beast has been a favorite for modding and even turbo-charging.

This 3D Model of the “Busa” is the 2005 version, and although not much was changed on these bikes since the first Hayabusa, the color schemes created for this one are mostly representative of the ’05 model. Read More

Triumph Daytona 675

About The Bike

The Daytona 675 is one of triumph’s best selling bikes ever. The sleek curves and powerful 3 cylinder motor make it a sure winner. This model captures the curves and angles of this bike perfectly. Every detail, from the stunning frame to the distinctive nose, is captured.

The Race Version

The Race Version of this bike was inspired by some club racers that I found on the Web. They had some Daytona 675s that they raced and I found some race-bodywork images from a link on their forum. Typically, I simply modify the stock bodywork by merging the seams and then sculpt any additional details and patch any unnecessary holes. Both of these paint jobs are inspired by the Union Jack, enhancing this bike’s proud British heritage. Read More

Greek Vases

For my final project in one of my Art History classes, we were instructed to design a fictional exhibition around some historical objects well known in art history, and my choice was the Greek Kraters, Amphoras, and Vases. I brought my 3D experience to the table and designed some features of an Ionic / Corinthian style Greek temple and rendered them for use as a frame for my poster, while the exhibition itself was designed and rendered in 3D.

Photoshop Tutorial – Lab Color & Tiling

The Typical Scenario

You’ve got a patch of grass, or a ceramic tile, and you need to use it as a pattern. You select the best section you can find, crop it into a nice manageable square, and when you tile it, you realize that the Luminance varies across the image and you’re not sure how to make it all even. Read More

Illustrator Self Portrait

One of my more serious looks…

An exercise in brush strokes. A photo was used as a template, and I essentially traced the vital lines needed to create a convincing representation of my face. The hair and stubble was created with a series of custom brushes, and the background used some preset brushes, colored and layered.

Triumph Daytona Poster

About The Bike

The Daytona 675 was an obsession of mine for some time, it’s simply one of the best 600cc Super-Sport motorcycles ever. In addition it has some of the raciest and most cutting edge details. If you’d like to add to the aforementioned, it’s British, so it’s also an underdog in the world of Sport Bikes with it’s only neighbours being the Italian giants.

About The Project

I chose to illustrate this bike for a class project dealing with gradients and blends. The goal of the project was to use a photograph as a template, and reproduce the underlying image using vectors, blends, and Adobe Illustrator’s Gradient Mesh Tool. Read More

MuZ SuperMoto Race Bike 3D Model

This model was derived from an actual bike, the MZ Mastiff 660 Supermoto bike. The bike pictured in the previous link was modeled after my father’s friend’s bike. I took a few dozen photos, started modeling and it turned out really well. I saw it appear on The History Channel’s Shockwave though this race version would have been more appropriate, but that’s another issue altogether. Read More

Ducati Desmosedici RR 3D Model

Update:
If you’d like to see how this model was created (sped up a lot) then check out the time-lapse screen-cast.

About The Model

When Ducati announced a street-legal version of thier GP6 motoGP racing machine, I just had to create a 3D model of it. In addition, I have created an Italian Flag paint-job for this magnificent machine.

About The Bike

The Desmosedici-RR is essentially a street legal version of the 200hp+ motoGP GP6 by Ducati. Now ordinary people (And by ordinary people I mean a select few that are wealthy and privileged.) can own what is essentially a replica of the championship machine that many of us have only dreamed of riding. This is a huge deal, seriously it’s like being able to buy a Formula One race car that’s street legal… wait a minute, that sounds familiar. If you thought “Enzo” before clicking that link, then congratulations, you have some perspective on how amazing this bike is. Read More
