That's really impressive. Getting the riders position right couldn't have been easy.

Do the bike properly in detail, add spokes etc. They're actually not that difficult to do. You just need to set 4 spokes at different angles and copy them 8 or 9 times.

Here's my attempt from a few years ago, made in 3DS

good stuff

gimme a pm and I'll point you at some nice tutorials on the character modelling & rigging front if you like - getting the correct deformation around joints is (to put it mildy) a cunting nightmare and will literally take years to figure out for yourself.

is this Maya? I can't remember what you're using - the same principles apply across the board.

yeah its maya unlimited

its definitly not supposed to be a production quality thing by all means. I just wanted to teach myself the basics and tell myself its possible so that soon (as you say inur) ill do a better bike and better person might even use nurbs instead of polys

don't bother - NURBS are overcomplicated, hard to manage, slow, outdated and ultimately pointless.

Subdivided polys have all the advantages of NURBS and none of the hassle. The only people who will argue with that are people who don't know how to use subdivided polys properly - I can use both and I almost never use NURBS anymore.
