Old Work and Stepping Stones

These images are from the development of the CB750 showcase. Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create the CB750 first. I created this bike because it is my first motorcycle. It is a bike I have been restoring for the past year. I had exact measurements, easy reference, and most importantly a platform to record audio. The Honda is the first of three bikes for the demo. 
The game will be primarily focused on British bikes from the 1950s and 60s but CB750 was the beginning of the end of British motorcycle superiority when it was released in 1969. It was responsible for the creation of a new term to describe its speed and abilities: Super Bike. Many love it, but some consider it to be tame, without soul. It will provide contrast between the British bikes and illustrate the difference between them.  

This image is pulled straight from the showcase. The game demo is being developed for a first person experience. Despite not having any rendered character assets, this image closely represents the visual quality that the demo will posses. 

All the camera animation and audio was entirely in engine. 

These images are from the middle of developing the showcase, the first time most of the shaders were in place, in a simple form. There were many tweaks and added features to the shaders before the showcase was completed.






















p3d.in is a great new platform for viewing 3D models online. After uploading the CB750, I was asked if it could be used to showcase some of their new features. That article can be found here: p3d.in/b/8
