Here's a render of the bike I've been working on for a really long time. It's a Blender project aimed at expanding my skills in the program.
I generated this model using Agisoft Photoscan from photographs taken by a colleague in North Carolina. It's a highly modified Yamaha XV 750 Virago.
I'd noticed the cheeky USD forks but really wanted to know where they came from. Well it appears that they are from a Suzuki GSXR. I don't know much more than that except to say that it must have taken some serious work to replace the entire front end. I wonder how she rides?
I've recently done some experimenting with 3d scanning in its various forms.
Started with an Xbox kinect. I was blown away with the result for the cost of the sensor but not really usable in production:
We bought a NextEngine desktop laser scanner a while ago. It's dead slow but the quality is great.
After that came the Artec Eva. Mental fast but no textures on the version we bought. Test scan went ok.
I started a blog a year ago to document my work and some cool stuff that I'd happened upon the way. A few months later the site closed down and it was all gone... Downer!!
So now I'm back and starting a new blog. The aim of the blog is to mainly document my CG and photography work. I may post some influences in and amongst too..
