Outstanding SketchUp work Director Bob (Joel)! Evertime I see your work on this bike I'm amazed. The pipes are very impressive. I couldn't model something like that to save my life. Renders look great too.
Welcome to the forum! Let's see some more.

Wow Bob! That's fantastic work!
Did you make that all in SketchUp?
Cheers,

- CraigDI don't see Director Bob around so I will attempt to answer that. That's all SketchUp. Really, really nice SketchUp.
You need to go to this link and see the actual progress shots. Really nice work. Nice renderings too.

I'm going to post another sample. I hope Joel doesn't mind.

Thanks Jeff. I’m back to work vacation is all over. No excess to a computer at work. But I have a nice set of torch tip’s and a T-Pull tool. I can say with confidence that all the work is a product of modeling in SU. Color rendering done in Bryce 6.1
@ Jeff I’ll have to put something together to explain how I did the pipes. Mostly used centerpoint.rb and TubeAlongPath.rb and bezier.rb and a lot of trial and error. I have to give a big thanks to the people who take the time to wright .rb script for us to use. I looked to see if I could find the authors name of the scripts and I can’t remember where I got them from.

I’m back, took me some time to get the fuel tank to look good. I play with this for over two weeks I think it comes out to almost 70 hours of trying before I got what I think is good. The Tank emblem Crusader was just going to be Cruiser with a four pointed star. I was pulling the tips of a Gear from Involute Gears .rb and it looked like a sword and the word Crusader popped into my head.
I’m thinking that the emblem maybe to thick But I have looked at it for so long I can’t make up my mind. I can Scale in or a Coat of Arms in the background of the main emblem to even it out. Input from a fresh pear of eyes and a clear mind is always help full.
I changed the name of the thread to reflect the direction this is going.

I was about to say the same thing. I also agree that the work is
fantastic. Well done Bob and I hope to see more of your work here.Now this is a scooter
The Gilera Fuoco (Fire) 500ie and I'm about to get one. I've always wanted a motorbike but I'm a coward at heart and am afraid of the risks involved with two wheel motor transport, especially here in this wet climate. The 500ie seems to get around the stability problem and it is reassuring to know that a slide rather than a 'fall off' could be result of a high speed corner. Hey, a slide could even be fun

@ CoenThank You and I’m glad to be part of the community. I hope to contribute more in the future. I have to get this model completed.
@ Krisidious Calling it a scooter is from my younger days of riding. That was the Hell rasing day’s.
@ Mike Thank you, All have to put up some other work I have done when I get this completed.
The Gilera Fuoco looks like a good around town transport. I have taken some major spills in my time. I have slid and flown in the air to a fast stop. The only good crash is the one you walk away from.

@ MikeThat is a cool idea. But the video is a little off. I know it’s just a demo real but it didn’t account for the forward motion. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction. Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Typically at High speed the rider would end up behind the car. Commonly hit by a car behind the car that hit the bike. At a slow speed the rider may impact the hood / bonnet with the helmet as the upper leg impacts the handlebars. And that saying it nicely, Just saying upper leg region. Most commonly the motorcycle rider will sustain internal body damage do to “Thy stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction.” The best Safety Equipment is to take a motorcycle riders safety class. Never Drink and ride “now I say That.” 8O and if you do have a spill on a bike think at it as a lesson. What did I do wrong? Was It preventable? What could I have done different? And jump back on and go for a ride. And before you know it, your riding down the road and you will discover motorcycle Zen. You get home covered in bug juice and someone will ask. What’s up with you? You reply smiling from ear ta ear. “O it would take to long for me to explain and you still wouldn’t under stand.” .
@ modelhead I’ll Put some stuff together soon. Some of the stuff took some time to get it to look like it is. A lot of trial and error but I can go back and see how I did it and try and explain the process the best I can. I think the best I can do for now is. The Frame is “Tube along path .rb” as is the Exhaust and handlebar. The fuel tank Two Ice-cream cone shapes connected top and bottom. “Fuel Tank emblem” Emblem Scale green and red axes Intersect with Tank. Copy Tank in Blue axes, Hide original, Move copy back into place. Uniform scale up about .05 Intersect Tank with Emblem. Delete Tank Copy, Delete inner and outer emblem. 8O

Cool
Thank’s for the link. I will have to go and check it out when it hit’s town in August. The Spyder has world class engineering behind it.I’m Happy you like the work. I’m also a novice this is just one big self education project. 8O
