      Im new to this forum and thought I would post up i couple bikes I have been working on lately. 2010 CRF 450R and a 2011 Kawi 450F. Im pretty pumped on how well they turned out what do you think?

        Very nice bikes and welcome, by the way. πŸ˜‰ Are you familiar with any rendering programs? You could try rendering them.

              Rendering. Basically, using textures and lighting to create photo-realistic images. I don't have much experience with rendering myself. You could try Thea or Twilight which I hear are both quite easy to use and relatively inexpensive while producing nice renders, although, I haven't tried either of them. What little rendering I have done was done in Kerkythea. It's free but takes a little while to get the hang of. Someone with more experience with rendering could probably help you out more than I can though.

                yes nice models and would look really good rendered i am sure. there are also rendering programs that work inside sketchup, like podium and v-ray. i have used v-ray and think it's pretty good. but also, i am no rendering expert.

                another thing, there is a "render this" competition on this site every so often. maybe if you could see how much difference a good render makes on your model you'd want to do it too!

                can you show us your models as wireframes too please?

                  Here is the CRF wireframe if that helps. I can get the kx one too if you want. You can download both of the bikes in the 3d warehouse if you like, just type in the name of the bike and it should show up. As for rendering, I tried kerkythea and didnt have a clue how to use it.

                      cool. did you build each component separately?
                      (also it would help if hidden geometry was turned on in wireframe, but do not worry!)
                      thanks for sharing.

                        Haha sorry about the wireframe not showing hidden geometry, I'm still pretty new to sketchup. And yes most of the components were built separately because I found it easier to build them and then import them into the model. Heres a few better shots of the crf.
