Obligatory Hoverbike

Bryan K

I'm happy with the overall mass and scale, There are some other things not shown that will change the overall style, but I'm moving ahead with the details.

Bryan K

Reworked instrument cluster. Roughing in the seat.

Bryan K

2 other angles.

Bryan K

Reworked the instrument cluster and seat. Added rider pedal brackets.

Great start.
Two things I believe could be better:

The gauges should be a bit more vertical. The actual position will force the rider to take a longer time to read them. Ideally they will be closer to the eyesight driving position.
The footrests should be more horizontal, otherwise it will be nearly impossible to climb on and maintain the feet onto them.

Going quite nice otherwise !
And perhaps a bigger "engine" in the back ? That would be the one holding more mass whilst the front ones are used to support some of the mass and steer.

But hey, it's your imagination, go wild, I like it !

Defo miving on mate, sleek.

Bryan K

Thanks guys.

This is still a long way from finished.

Bryan K

Still roughing in the details and playing around with the tail.

Bryan K

Working on tightening up and unifying the tail.

Bryan K

Ah, that's better.

Bryan K

Updates. Added landing skids and detailed grav pods, front scoops and minor tweak to rear end.

Bryan K

Almost 2 hours of detailing lost because autobak and autosave didn't work right after SU crashed.

looking great this far...i can see another "render this" thread coming up

Bryan K

Thanks Carloh!

More adjustments and detailing.

Bryan K

The detailing I lost last night.

Bryan K

Cleaned up under the seat structure using Curviloft and Round Corners. Had to do a little polygon fiddling, but worth it. Cleaned up rear "fender" as well.

Have a good week!

No. Sorry. I don't like that style. Right now, I'm not very happy with the landing pads at all. They are more like "place holders" at the moment.

Still a long way to go. This week I have to remake the front top cowling. So typical of my workflow. If I don't have to remake at least one thing in my model at leave five times, I must be doing it wrong.
