Heh. Have you seen this thread?

It's still on-going as Carl and I hash out some really fine details about the lightcycles. I don't know of any blueprints already out there like your example, but I'm planning on making something just like that once the part-list is firmed up. The closest thing right now might be this:


Check out my site if you want to make your own lightcycle if you can't find what you are looking for:

Particularly see the construction and assembly details. I could probably also render something blueprint style, but my model is not 100% accurate yet, if that's okay by you?

How about something like this:


What physical size are you planning for the print out?  I can render at 150dpi x whatever your desired output size.

I know the text is missing, but that will come once the final parts list is agreed upon.  Also, the TRON font would be in order, and the three lines at the top should change to something else...  I was just copying the look of the image you posted as an example.

Another link!?!?    So much to read, so little time.  I skimmed it though, love the images!  Can't wait to dig into it.

Greetings, Programs.

Hey, matthew180,

Cool stuff. Reminds me of my G.I. Joe toy blueprints.

Yo Joe!

And knowing is half the battle...........

Best wishes,

End of line.

That's a very cool start on a blueprint you have going!  As for more wire, well that's really the trick with modern 3D software, it's designed to make images look real as opposed to cartoonish, computer generated, or drafted...  Also, the lightcycles are made from primitives, thus they have no mesh framework per se.  The only reason the shoulders on my model have any wires in them is because they are in fact a nurb mesh only because my 3D software does not have a torus primitive.

Also, a lot of the extra blue lines in that aircraft example are decals and such, and lightcycles don't have decals.  It's a tough thing to simulate and probably easier to do what you did, start with a rendered model and use a 2D program to trace the lightcycle and add the lines where you see fit.

As for the numbers, we have not come up with any units yet, but the values will be relative, so make them anything you want really.  What I plan to eventually provide are units of measure of the parts in relationship to a reference part, like the front wheel.  I think for a computer model, values in pixels would be appropriate.

I'll certainly keep messing with it.  As for the grid, I can make it any size, however keep in mind real blue prints are not on a grid and the lines are actually white on a dark blue inked paper.

If you really want a 24"x36" image, that will be 3600x5400 resolution at 150dpi.  Double that if you want a 300dpi image.  Do you have a way to print something that large?

Matthew

Cool.  I have to drive 33 miles to get anywhere that has a printer that can handle stuff like that...
