Dodge Tomahawk Concept, Simon hitchins (3D)

[T0NiC]

I don't ride a motorcycle and I'm not much of a fan either but that tomahawk caught my attention back then.
Somehow the design always makes me feel like it was made for the Judge dredd movie :P


Aaanyway, about your model, I like the details, the choice of subject (obviously), and the bright colors you used (the contrast between cyan and red).
Two points of attention:
The material of the tires looks odd: too much specular, too clean, light-grey rubber?
The Tomahawk does not need to lean to one side, it can rest stable on its 4 wheels.

Looking forward to the transformation! :thumbsup:

very nice bike. i like the design. but having two wheels on the front might be hard to have a quick turn in the street.

well the Tommahawk is a real concept vehicle made by Dodge


the hung their 8 liter V10 in-between 2 sets of wheels - it has a single gear (that will theorhetically wind out to 400 km/h) & a 4 liter petrol tank

Hmm actually, comparing these two shows that you need some better reference pictures. Unless you want to give the design a twist of course...

hi yeah i didnt really want to create the bike totally the same also this is gonna be part of a animation of the bike turning into a robot, so some parts have to be different for the transformation to work.
Thx for looking though :)
I would of posted extra pics of different angles n higher res but im not entirly sure how.

You should have both tires on the ground.

When the bike leans in reality, both wheels left/right (front and rear) are independent of each other and both rest on the ground.

Otherwise, great job!

ah yeah i see what u mean :)
Thx for ure comments.
i will post up the transformation along with some more views soon as its fully completed.
