I wanted to model the new bike but could not find good reference images, the ones I saw were done in the dark with just lights showing.

Animating it would be awsome however, with those lights and motion blur, it will be fantastic.

Use the force Luke, use the Force!

The Next Issue of 3DWorld will have a Tut on modeling the Tron Legacy Light Cycle, or Litcyycle as the Yanks call it [sorry could not resist...]. Not sure what App they'll be using though.

Hiya All

On 3d Warehouse I found the following model:

Within that page is a link to [using Google translate] :

for a tutorial on how to use Sketchup to model a Model Airplane by Ivo Mikac [I think!].

Enjoy

Wow. Looking good!

I'm having trouble with boat hulls and compound curved surfaces in general. Do you know of any good tutorials for these?
