Pet project (non-architecture).

[Tommy L]

Just messing around. I didnt make the model, it was purchased from Turbosquid about 2 years ago. Came across it (it was un-used in the project it was purchased for) and thought I'd material and light it. I have got around half-way through materials on the bike. Any comments appreciated. Ill keep posting progress.

And a quick PS job on one of the renders.

Fun. I typically like shorter bars though, those are a bit long for my taste. Also, even though you didn't make the model, I think the headlight might look better in a more aggressive position. It is a little to "upright" right now.

 

Now, ....for the image itself. I think with a project this size you could really get into some polishing scratches, dirt in the crevices, and slight bits of the appearance of rust in a very few strategic locations.

 

I would loose the velvet looking finish on the seat though. No self respecting rider is going to have anything other than worn in leather.

Maybe you can model a really nice helmet to go with the bike.

Its great when you post your pet projects, they are always fun to keep track of. You should have Arnie in the background with a stoggie and shotgun lol.

 

A bit off topic but what did you do with those ace wee toothie stones, they were great, I seen your animation and i kept thinking they would be have been fun to animate. Was close to taking a stab myself just so i could play around with them haha.

I lost enthusiasm....always happens when there's no client. I can send the file if you like, you are welcome to play with it.

Cool bike!..It looks very close to photos I have of 1941-1946 Harleys, and the headlight really does look like that.

 

Researching and modeling a period environment could be fun too.
