Very very pretty. I need to find the time to make some more pretty pictures myself.

Doh, my windows don't arch up near the front to line up with the top window. :O

Nice shots tho.

Oh, Boingo Buzzard, I was told if you download the 7.5d upgrade it functions as a demo and allows some low poly object saving.

Might wanna see if it works.

I agree that the last image looks a bit too shiny, but nevertheless it's still quite awesome. Especially considering how fast Euphemizm made it!

Oh absolutely. It blows my crappy lightcycle model away. I wasn't being cruel, just offering constructive criticism. If I REALLY didn't like his work, I would have just posted nothing.

If I understand you correctly I think the way you did it is ok too.

You copied the yellow bike's window design and I copied the blue's design.


Something I wanted to point out that I don't think has been discussed before is the area I have outlined in red. The yellow bike I believe is an earlier MAGI design, it's missing the side details, the rear tire appears to be a torus and its not in the film, and as pointed out above the widow design appears to be different as well.

However in the area I have outline a cylinder connects with a sphere of the same radius which connects to a piece of a torus made of a tube of that same radius. I believe that connection should be smooth and it can be if all the cuts are made correctly. It looks smooth (aka correct) to me on the yellow bike. However it looks like an error was introduced when the blue bike was made. The torus no longer connects smoothly with the sphere and sticks out past it making a sharp point. The error (or at least what I'm calling an error) can be seen in the film in several places if watched frame-by-frame. I like to think I corrected this error in my model and that connection is now smooth again as it was in the yellow bike model.

I logged off and logged back in and I think it's now fixed. Now I can't edit my own posts.

Sorry Riley... I don't have a clue how I hijacked your account.

They don't. In the movie they are all the same. The yellow bike above is an early MAGI design, atleast that's what I believe it to be. Several changes were made to it before its use in the movie.

Euphemizm Wrote:Yeh I took the side front and top shots on this website and made them a blue print for Lightwave that I could trace. These models are actually a polygon mess right now. I am going to spend some time and do teh nurbs version so that the polycount is lower and the geometry is smoother. Currently they are a little messy.

I just wish I had Lightwave. POV-Ray is free and is more my price range.

Euphemizm Wrote:Your shot that you linked to is totally awesome! I love the reflective distortions. Very nice.

Thank you very much. That means alot coming from a skilled professional such as yourself.

Here is about what it looks like at the moment. I've corrected a few errors since this was made but they as so small you can't even see them here.

We try.

Euphemizm Wrote:Guess you'll have to put up with another shot. J/k. The crits are valid. Do you think the glow was causing much of the plastic look or is it just the shiny surface overall?

Personally I like the plasic look. This is another very very cool shot. If I can find the time I'll try making the same shot with my models and we can compare.

Great work. I'd still like to see your whirlpool sequence, any chance it could be posted. If not maybe you could email it to me.

Keep up the great work,
Carl

Lookin' good. Sorry -- lost track of this thread for a while. I think it's the high-reflection/specularity/glossiness that makes them look plastic. But it's all in the artist's eye and they look very cool to mewhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
