    an excel sheet? thats taking weight too far? jus ride it cos its mint :P

    Oh I didn't do it to get the lightest bike possible :)

    Prior to ordering anything for a new builds I make an Excel sheet with 5 columns, and weight is one of them so I can get a rough idea of the final weight.

    For Example

    Part____|____Choice____|_____Option_____|___Price___|___Weight___|

    Forks___ __V!Z Light 20"___ _Disc only, Black___ _£121.53___ __0.729Kg___

    I shall be abusing it today if it doesn't tip it down with rain :P

    Need to pop into town to a bike shop to find out the official real-world weight. But I made an Excel sheet that had all the parts, prices and weights listed. That said it'll weigh 8.53kg approx. So will see tomorrow.. Off to work now, parts list later.

    u really deserve a long comment for that amazing work, but I do not have the time right now

    just one thing though, u should put DOF in your none stereoscopic renders aswell ;)

    There is DOF in them :mellow:

    You are a freak and I mean that in the best possible way.

    :lol: Thanks lol

    Awesome work on the grind, looks much better :)

    You have straight gauge spokes or is that a detail youve missed?

    Thanks! :)

    Do you mean the thickness of the spokes being constant or that I've got straight spokes on the front right side?

    EDIT: Just checked my order from when I ordered the parts, and I ordered mutiny plain guage. So I guess that's the answer :)

    Right, been tweaking things :)

    In 3D:

    •Frame material is a little darker to prevent reflections blowing out/over-exposing

    •Tyre material is a little darker with reshaped specular to better represent new tyres.

    •Pedals are slightly darker with fixed decal, not that they're very visible.

    •Reflective values of a few parts have been reduced (pedal arm, front gear, chain, rear brake silver body)

    •Tweaked valve material.

    •Hadle bars & stem specular value reduced to prevent over-exposure effect.

    •Engraved writing on the chain has darker material to give it a little definition on close-up.

    •Rear brake line reflective value slightly reduced.

    •Rear rim sidewall grind effect achieved with displace map rather than bump map, looks better to me I'd say.

    •Reversed front tyre tread pattern because it was backwards.

    In Post:

    •Brightened & added contrast to the renders using 'levels' in PSP.

    •Rendered off depth maps and used PSP to add depth of field to image 4, 5 & 6.

    Side Note:

    I've decided I'm presenting the bike in this way because I feel adding anything else will distract the eye from the actual model. But it's mostly to stay true-to-life; new trials frames, parts & whole bike builds are presented in this way in real life to best show the build quality, style & details. The very things we all like to see in 3D :)

    Render times @ 1680x1050:

    Render 1: 1hr 1min

    Render 2: 1hr 2min

    Render 3: 51min

    Render 4: 3hrs

    Render 5: 2hr 2min

    Render 6: 57min

    Batch render over night >_<

    And thanks to everyone for all your comments, both during modelling and after I posted the last lot of renders. You've all helped me no end to completes this! ^_^

    Enjoy..

    Valves needs a little work texture wise, it's the only thing noticeably not 'real'. I think maybe the rear hose is a little too shiny, and I still think the texture of the tires isn't as perfect as everything else.

    Yea Changed it a little now. Will be in the new renders.. I've edited tyre material too so you'll see that next time I post up renders.

    Only thing I noticed that was 'wrong' was the way the tread pattern on the front tyre is backwards, but I don't know if anyone's mentioned that before 'cos I sorta dipped in nearer the end... Looks amazing though (Y)

    I did actually have that the correct way round, I'm sure I did.. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out, another thing that'll be sorted out in the next renders :)

    Where are you hosting the pics now as all the ones from the first few pages I could see but now the works server is blockinh them!

    Can anyone save and attach the finished product for me so I can view it??

    Pics are hosted at imageshack. Had to use imageshack because images are too big to upload to trials forum file uploader

    congrats dude, that first picture of the final render kills it, it looks exactly like the stock photos that get released of full builds (eg), hyper-realistic. amazing work.

    i can't help but laugh at some of the comments on that other forum though from non-riders, trying to pick inaccuracies that are actually 100% accurate to someone that rides.

    That's the look I was going for. Wil be closer to it in the next renders though...

    Oh I know :lol: Well it is a unique sport that has some unseen things compared to normal bikes :)

    Thanks for all your comments guys, much appreciated (Y)

    Only a small update..

    Added few textured parts; BB, Bashring, Freewheel, Cranks, Pedals, Headset.

    Improved frame material; now happy with it.

    Changed tyre material slightly. Made the specular wider and lower so they appear less glossy.

    Removed environment but kept it visible to reflections. Was thinking about doing this in the end, but chimpanzyyyy help that decision :)

    Won't be updating now untill I've finished or almost finished, because I'm sure these small update are annoying and you're just expecting it to be finished every time I post :lol: So I shall update within a week or so I'd say.

    Hey guys. Been several days, but done some materials...

    Renders straight out of Cinema 4D unedited.

    Let me know what you think, I'm still tweaking..

    The environment isn't final by the way, I just needed something to reflect (It's also from an old project, so not great)

    I can see it's CG, but that's because I m used to see lots of these

    frame material looks awesome though, the main reason it looks "fake" is because it's too clean :)

    thanks a lot for the tutorial about the tires! ;)

    keep it up

    Once fully textured, I'll have to put some scratches in the mix in the usual places ;)
