RobRook Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks Jamie, Kristaps & Mikee! Tom: Yea will have to do more meets next year. My brother & Shaun want to get back into riding after new year too so more to come along Done a test render to see how real I can get the rotor looking. Will start modelling one of the levers tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The detail is absolutely amazing! SERIOUS PROPS. Love the front calliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me that's not a photo of a rotor? What the...?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 You're telling me that's not a photo of a rotor? What the...?! Indeed, it's not a photo, it's 100% 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 How have you generated the rotor texture? Is it a procedural or a photo texture youve applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 And to think that some pictures of real rotors don't look as realistic, again, supeb work! Any idea when the whole thing will be completed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I can hardly believe that the rotor is not a picture Baffles me And the pin on the calliper, those are fiddly enough in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks everyone! Really appreciate your comments forteh: I dont use direct photos, I like to use good texture & bump maps to get a good result. (See below) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ I've done a little breadown of the rotor (I was bored) Will also help those less familier with 3D to see how it's made I'm part way through modelling an Echo brake lever at the moment. Just the piston, TPA & Blade to go... (See below. Even better if you have red/cyan glasses) Think I need to sleep though, so will carry on with that later today (Thursday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balls Deep trials team Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 are them brake bodys in 3D ? as in like using 3D glasses ...? if you know what i mean lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 are them brake bodys in 3D ? as in like using 3D glasses ...? if you know what i mean lol Yep Just need a pair of the typical red/cyan glasses. Just got a pair through the post so thought I'd try it out. And it's weird seeing them in real 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 forteh: I dont use direct photos, I like to use good texture & bump maps to get a good result. (See below) Thought it looked too good to be a plain photo textutre Much better to create it properly from scratch imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thought it looked too good to be a plain photo textutre Much better to create it properly from scratch imho. Exactly what I say too. It'd look cheap and amateur using a photo texture, and it'd reduce the visual quality of the model. I'd say anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Exactly what I say too. It'd look cheap and amateur using a photo texture, and it'd reduce the visual quality of the model. I'd say anyway Going back to when I used to make gun model replacements for counterstrike, all of the photo hack/texture replacements bar one or two in hundreds looked dire, even when people had access to the guns themselves and photographed them in detail. Self painted textures were much more realistic and looked far better, of course back in those days it was only 512x512 bmps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 One Lever down, one to go Couldn't be the same could they 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I saw someone posted on the modeling site about "they look like they can cut". I used the Echo SL lever and I can confirm that they are sharp and can actually cut your fingers Also, amazing modeling, good work man.

RobRook Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Ouch!.. Never cut myself on mine, it isn't sharp enough unless a lot of force is put into it or it's grabbed strangely. I think they thought that's where you pull the lever and didn't realise it's a one finger lever hense the demo photo I posted up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The level of detail really is stunning. I wouldn't have any idea where to start with something like mate, you must have a lot of skill and a lot of patience. Looking forward to seeing the finished model!
