I would look at making your own website or online portfolio ~I have found that to be invaluable in the freelance work I have got in the past.

Nice renders by the way, I think a render with a wire overlay would look good for this type of technical model?

[liam887]

yeah its all about the networking isnt it lol hard work! You have good work tho I recognize some of it from your CG gallery it has been posted around here before like the spider robot and wheel robot thing, good stuff. What do you use as your main render engine for your other work?

[kev_N]

ye , i keep the coroflot.com more up to date. and my main engine is Podium but i do use Kerkythea as its very good for glass objects.

Ye networking is good and I enjoy meeting and discussing design. i get excited with designs and renders and modelling.. all of that

This design is like nothing else, looks great.

For the techique you use magnetic wheels and electromagnetic based engines ?

[rickgraham]

Nice job so far - but I have a question (from a person who doesn't design bikes). Shouldn't the wheel axles be in the center of the tyre? I'm having problems visualizing that one unless you want a piston method for your wheels.

hey, the wheels are based on hub motors, give it a google. they are in use in some products out there. Magnetics and electromagnets would also give a cool concept, could PS some magnet waves in there , but these are based on hub motors. I don't design motorbike normally this was a experiment and to see what concept i could generate to give it a futuristic/urban look

No PP as yet.

[kev_N]

honda have a concept using the same sort of wheel design.

im working on detailing the wheels as we speak too

[kev_N]

the current for render engine (someone correct me if im wrong) doesnt, but i have another real time engine i can use for that so will try that also , thanks for all the comments and feedback this model and image is growing nicely

working on the wheel detail now

Awesome model, Kev_N.

For rendering, you should try using HDRI if your rendering engine allows it. It will give it a new realistic dimension and depth to your renders.

Best,

It's amazing... you should try to put it into a futuristic urban scenery, only if such thing would exist as a HDRi environment image

the model comes up pretty realistic when you work on it more and more and more keep it up, looking forward for some new images of the concept.

[kev_N]

cheers ye im detailing and then when im totally done the model should give a lovely render and then i shall tablet draw in and finish it i love working on these things. also very grateful for feedback

Ok i also have a question

will this provide a high res if i render it as view point resolution as the tv is at a higher res to my laptop(hdmi connected, duno if that helps)

having a play around and the pics are coming out massive. so im thinking its working.

if so i think all models going to be rendered on my tv screen also now working on the environment. thinking urban setting

Updated render

getting there slowly,

working on an old factory

---

[omiKron]

That old factory looks very good, pretty industrial as the bike when it comes to a modern contrast over a 1800 scenery, with futuristic background, big utopia for artists and for stargazers who saw the future high as we look at it now.
Don't know the job with the resolution... I render and model only on my laptop and sometimes on my home PC, and never tried this.

I really like those wheels, and you never know, someday this might come alive...

[kev_N]

thanks and ye i want to get a very high polished look at the end give it some feeling almost

1854 / 992 is the render res from my tv and gives a nicer look due to the res to high for the servers to allow to be posted :S
