I am looking for a SU model of Manhattan. I am an artist currently working on a 9/11 project and would like if for reference to the area and timeframe. Feel free to check out my website http://www.ed3art.com/911. Thanks!

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

@ 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

@ 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.

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.
"Scooter Wip"

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.

Glad you like the rendered version Gaieus. The Motor is just part of a larger project. 8O

Cool, I have some software that I can do image editing in
Paint.Net, PhotoImpress 3, Deep paint and a #2 pencil

Posted by: Director Bob

Bob,

495 x 524 was strictly arbitrary. As long as you keep your images below 800 pixels wide you should be ok (your original image was exactly 800 wide, so Gaieus probably shouldn't have scolded us, but the side margins were just dead space anyway). There's no real bandwidth issue for the forum server itself since the image is hosted on a remote server, which is a fine way to do it, but some users who have slower internet connections would probably appreciate smaller images. You must include the slash on the end tag or the forum software won't recognize it and will think you're including attributes it never heard of inside the image tag and will probably not render it at all.

Don't you have an image editing program you can use to crop your images? There are many excellent ones out there, some of them free. Irfanview is an outstanding free image viewer, and it does basic things like cropping and resizing very well.

-Gully

Ok, thanks for the feedback That’s the information I was looking for. I would not like to improperly start doing actions that my harm the new community having a bandwidth issue.
495 x 524 look’s good thank you, I’ll keep them like that. I drop the slash to keep the server from trying to work with the tag with improper coding “the little red x” . The white margin I’ll have to work with that. The background colors on post alternates here. I’ll see if matching the background in SU works.
I’m just getting my feet wet here.
C&C always welcome.

Only it is a wrong way when the image is very big (pixel wise) and pushes the sides of the forum so that those with smaller monitors/resolutions need to side scroll.

Okay, Gaieus, I've made a copy, cropped it, uploaded it to imageshack.com, and changed the url in my previous post.

No, Joel, you should include the image tags so the forum software knows to render it (even though the url is on a different domain server), but don't forget the slash on the close tag, or it won't work.

Here's your image url using the image tags:

Edit: Hey, nice model. You probably should crop some of that white margin from the left and right of the image.

Hello All. I’m new to your forum and this looks like a good place to start. Nothing like a new person ta put a bad fix on things. I was recruited from http://www.3dallusions.com/forums/portal.php? By Jake He found my work interesting and thought I should come over here.

Delete fast if need be. I don’t like to screw up other peoples hard work .Let’s see if this works like it should http://members.cox.net/j.kell/Exhaust%20Pipe.jpg

we were supposed to create an exterior space that can be used for various performances or exhibitions but also a public place when it is not being used for any show or something...my concept was to explore deconstructionism and how concrete and rebar are typically a system in which the rebar is static but in this space the rebar does the opposite and breaks away from its typical function...also seeing how the rebar can be a structure in itself rather than just a grid that strengthens the concrete...thats it in a nutshell basically...not sure how successful it is but i am happy the way things turned out

i tried 4000x2500 resolution but still some lines are missing and its more blurry.. print screen is the best one i've got and i know i have a problem if its the best one i got, hehe

P: izebox

hehe thanks, when took this picture i only used print screen to get it that's why i needed to delete the menu portions in the upper part.. but when i try to export the image as 2d alot of the lines are missing specially in sketchy styles..do you know any work around this?
