Superleggera, Pedro Duarte (2D)

[Sulla]

Nice design. Are you going to render more views to show the real shape better? Also it does not seem to have any perspective on the wider parts (the back and bottom of the seat etc.).

[livingrope]

now that's a cool idea. and a great rendering. it seems like you learned Robertson's lessons well !

[Icey]

too much scot robertson here.... The design, the curving of the elements, even the textureing - i think you should have mentioned him... ;)

But it looks very good as well! :) congrats

[laffonte]

thank u all, sulla i'll post a top view that i rendered to show better superleggera's porportions, and icey (sory livingrope for the mistake) i did mention mr. scott robertson cuz i was really inspired by one of his dvd's.

[laffonte]

thank you guss :)

Nice rendering skills, and a very strange looking bicycle.
It's almost like 3d wich means you did an excellent job :)

[RaresH]

Nice rendering indeed! The design is beautiful. I'm sure the target clients would very much enjoy riding that bycicle.

[laffonte]

thanks a lot RaresHalmagean and ablorat, very kind of you :)

how do you make these realistic 3d in cs? may i know ? coz im a painter user :(

[laffonte]

hi harvey. well, i start with a line drawing made with non-digital media. then i digitalize it and with the path tool, i create the basic shapes of what i'm trying to do, each shape in it's own layer. then, having in mind the light source (in this case is a basic overhead difuse light source) and with the preserve tranperency on, so that you wont lose the clean edges, i start brushing around wiht lighter or darker versions of the color i'm using, to give a hint of the shape. then white reflections where you think the light source reflects directly to you. you can check ou mr. scott robertsons gnomon dvd on how to render industrial products. thats where i took this technique from. in painter i can't do this but i didn't realy try to, but try to adapt it to painter if u can. if not, become a cs user lol:) . thanks

A very cool bike and project. Nice to watch these kind of projects to help people with some kind of physical trouble:thumbsup:

[laffonte]

thanks Gonzalo, yes there should be more projects of this kind. it's a very delicate subject also due to public preconcept, and making an object for an handicap look cool is important because of that. sab but true...

[spliffmonkey187]

Very nice design and very inspirational for me. Nice marriage between art and engineering design in my opinion.

[laffonte]
