I've been working on this for a bit now. I want some crit on it if at all possible.

It isn't for halo but the poly count is: 4882

That is a cool idea and a nice model.

As a suggestion maybe make it so the front 2/3 or half bend into the turns and the rear stays level?

Its a chopper/motorcycle. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel.

No, wait, yes I am ;).


The theme is to make it seem very chopper-like. I see where you are going with that, but that wouldn't fit with the overall design.

Thanks for the compliment and advice though!

It's a cool idea, but I fail to see what makes it go. Where is the engine?

You go to the top of a hill and just kind of push with your feet. :wink:

It doesn't need no engine. I don't know how it could run except it's...MAGICAL!!!1

Anyway it looks pretty good, I'd give an 11/10 for originality (unless you got it from another game >_>)

I loled when I read your posts guys. Yeah, I know, a bit funny how there's absolutely no engine, and probably, and car/cycle engineer would be laughing in my face (I am partially laughing at myself).

The concept is you have this motorsphere and it is driven by the same tech as the shinkansen in Japan (magnets). The sphere are held in place by force fields and the driver is the power source.

I know, now you are going "My God he is crazy." Yeah, I probably am, but the driver isn't human; you see the concept is that this guy would basically be a giant fuel cell or whatever kind of energy that allows for massive amounts of output. It would be a android, a robot, whose source of energy is himself.

0m3g4Muff1n987, I know its hard to believe, but yeah, that design is mine, hehe.

;).

nice idea, but that seat looks really uncomfortable. i'm glad it's not meant for humans to ride.

Its for a robot. Robots do not care how comfortable they are.

But its not the final design for the seat. Its more of a block placeholder.

It won't get much fancier though.
