        This design is like nothing else, looks great.

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

          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. πŸ˜’

            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 πŸ˜„, 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

            πŸ˜„

                  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,

                  _KN

                    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 πŸ˜„

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

                        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 πŸ˜„ also now working on the environment. thinking urban setting πŸ˜„

                            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... πŸ˜„

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

                                    God that looks awesome, amazing detail for sure πŸ‘ πŸ‘ Some engines should be hanged in those thick chains πŸ˜„ maybe the one used for the bike. Impressive anyway. πŸ˜„
