Star Wars Speeder Bike
-
Almost there. Just have to finish the engine and foot rests/brakes, texture (Ugh!), render and done.
-
Done!! Just have to make some textures and apply them. I think I might try a serious Kerky render, but getting all the shapes textured properly in SU for export and creating them in GIMP for Kerky will take a while.
I'm sure there's a purist or two out there that would like to point out that isn't George Lucas's Speeder Bike configuration, so to them I say that I took my own artistic license and fudged the rest due to the pretty poor reference material I had. I went with the idea that "this isn't your father's speeder bike..."

Wow. Looking good.

Actually, It's looking great !
Liked the 'solid chrome render' a lot.
Love to see the KT-renders ...

sorry i dont have a scanner to the refs in, I may try and take a picture from the book to post tomorrow but you look like you have the rear section under control.
-
Great work Jeff, awesome detailing
-
Thanks!!
Liam, don't worry about the refs, I think I'll work with what I've got. Thanks all the same!
-
Very cool!
I love the details! -

It's that time...you know, when I insist this model gets the 'Render this' treatment.
So, if it's okay with you lets get going.

LOL, I'm working on it. Unfortunately I may need to re-do a lot of it as I didn't bevel any of the edges, so it's too "sharp" in the render, and the "shell" has some odd bumps in it due to the differing edge counts where Curviloft formed faces on my curves, so I may need to re-make that to have a suitable render. As much time as I've invested in this, it would be silly not to go the extra mile. Plus, I'm learning Thea Render, so that will add a little to the texturing time.

Test render of the main panel using Thea.

where did you get that font?

Worthy for a TDC post! http://news.sketchucation.com/art-wip-star-wars-speeder-bike/
Coen, you mistakenly wrote Liam as the authour of the model on TDC instead of Jeff.
-
Wow! I never would've thought! Thanks!

good, this looks like the FMC on an actual aircraft.

Exactly, and the circuit breakers are from the same as well.

Gee. . .I don't think it's detailed enough. you might want to add a couple of ewoks. . ..Use the fur plugin!
-
Lol! I have a vision of using this speeder in a car-commercial type animation with a little dark "Empire-style" humor in it that includes Ewoks. I've got 2-3 versions story boarded out in my head. I may give it a try; but considering that texturing is the next big hurdle for me, animation is a long way off.
