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

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

Suzuki GSX-R 1000

About This Model

This 3D model was contrated by a client who needed a spinning model of their race team’s bike for a web site. Photos of the existing bike were used as reference. The stock, showroom version was also created, and the factory paint-job was applied to that version of the model. The race version however, actually sported different bodywork and exhaust pipes.

The SBF-1 Sport Bike

About The Bike

The SBF-1 was a concept bike that I attempted to design in 3D, and although it was a great learning experience, it seems that it’s interest peaked and then fell off sharply. The images shown here are different concepts and designs that were considered. The Gear Box of this bike was actually printed out on a rapid prototyping machine.

2005 Ducati 999 3D Model

The Ducati 999

By far my favorite Ducati.

When the client I modeled these bike for said, “Okay Jamie, great work on the first bike. Now I think we’ll do the 999.” I was a bit nervous to say the least, but still ready for my next challenge. The Ducati 999 possesses some of the most unique bodywork and frame design of any sport bike out there; rivaled only by other exotic European bikes like the MV Agusta F4. This machine definately exercised my modeling skills, as well as my perception of how a bike should be “roughed-out” during the modeling process. Read More

SBF-1 Gearbox

When designing the SBF-1 Sport Bike, I decided to design the internal components of the engine. This included creating a working version of the 3 cylinder, 15 valve engine. The gearbox, like all of the other moving parts, was scripted to animate in time with the entire engine. Upon completing my training at EMS-USA in Tampa, FL, I decided to modify the 3D model of the gearbox to make a physical model of it using the Z-Corp 310 Rapid Prototyping 3D printer. Eye Scream Animation Ltd. had just recieved its 3D printer at this time, so I printed a scale model of the gearbox using this technology and the 310 printer at Eye Scream Animation Ltd.

Y2K ZX-6R Ninja

The Bike Behind The Model

I rode a ZX-6R Ninja exactly like this one for nine months before a reckless driver hit me head on. I survived the crash, but as you’d expect, my Kawasaki was reduced to a heap of twisted metal. I managed to leave the scene of the accident with no broken bones or major injuries.

I completed this 3D model and garage scene only three months earlier, and although cliché, I feel that my bike lives on through the 3D model and renders. Read More
