2012 concept bike build, my Honours year Industrial Design project!

Bravo! I like everything about this project. Looks like those hours are paying off. :up: Keep it up!

Surfaces straight from the scan





Other components I modelled, some of these are finished, some not.


Theme boards I thought you guys might like..




And a couple of renders that still need a little work:



Colour scheme i like :P

[ohthejosh]

this is way cool. this was what i wanted to do when i was younger lol. quick question. are you going to try and make a working model or just a clay one?

[JamesE30]

Cheers guys,

Fuck this is a big project. I've been at uni doing 13hrs+ literally every single day, done several all nighters now too. So basically I'm fucked. Physically and mentally, it's really getting to me. Had many set backs over the last few weeks and to be totally honest I'm behind schedule.

But anyway fuck loads of hours does equal progress so here's an update..
I'll save the details and let a few pics do most of the talking..


Rushing to get the model ready to scan


State of the model before scanning *not the standard I was hoping for. Just not enough hours in the week..


3D scanning the model.


The $200,000 3D scanner basically takes a couple hundred photos of the object and uses the circular stickers to to triangulate a position in space and link each picture together to create an extremely accurate 3D mesh of the scene. That's the noob explination anyway haha


I'll share some images of the scans later.

Time to begin balancing the model.


Made some rigs to measure points in x,y and z axis that can be translated to the other side of the model. Measure a point from the master side, translate it to the other side and mark it with a bit of white out, creating a rough 3D mesh I can work with as a starting point.

Looks like you're making some good progress and I say it looks cooooooool!

[Peterkaczynski]

we demand an update!
amazing work my dude

[b*saint]

your "mudguard" is what we call a tire hugger.

[tg318is]

update?

[JamesE30]

Clay is still coming along, don't have any pics to upload atm, but here is another render. This one's just a quickie before bed ;)



enjoy!

[JamesE30]

^haha Cheers guys!


OK so I know I said I was scanning it today... buuuuuutttt as with all big projects like this, sometimes you just fall a little behind schedule. There were still a few things I wanted to change/fix before the scan, So I've rearranged it for Monday. Gives me a few more days to really nut out the design and get the surfaces right without rushing it too much.. Better to take the time and get it right the 1st time than to rush it and want to change it again later.

So here is a shot from 1/2hour ago:

aaaaaaaaaaawesome. if you had a dad who loved to bitch you out every so often, you'd have a show on discovery channel by now.

[Sailor37]

Just your first page of sketches blew me away...and your model just tops it off.

You have some real talent...I'm jealous.

[JamesE30]

Thanks guys!
Here's a shot from tonight. Kind of gives you an idea of scale

[N2MYE30]

This is one of the coolest threads I have read/seen on r3v. Bravo!!!

Thanks for sharing.
