I love the red color, but i think it would look better with a litle brighter "cream" color.

I think your model is the best so far

looking forward to seeing those final renders

Yes, please to a blue and white peral comparison.:p

Learned a big lesson tonight. ALWAYS check your tesselation for EVERY object in your scene. I was wondering why I was having so much trouble rendering large chunks of the model, until I did a spread sheet search on the tesselation and found 4 tiny spheres I had used for a part of the engine which were tesselating at 1,000,000 triangles a piece !! Suffice to say, once I corrected that huge error I was able to render a larger piece at once, and it only took 1 hour 20 mins. I still can't squeeze out the whole scene due to the diplacement maps on the tires, but at least now it'll work with just 2 render layers. So here's two new pics. Comments are welcome, but I'm running out of time so I won't be able to make any major changes.

No problems that I could see... except one thing.

Im still not satisfied with the License Plate.

I actually saw one today as I was waiting for the light
to turn green there was someone from Colorado right
in front of me. And you are so right...IT IS UGLY!!

The only thing that is wrong with it is that it is still popping out
too much. Stickers are almost completely flat, extremely thin you are almost there.

The overall thickness of the plate is a little too much as well. Check out the plate on your car. It should be very thin easy to bend. And now compare that to the one you have here. Yours appears to be made of plastic from the thickness.

Plates are pretty flat the only thing that pops out from them is the relief of the numbers and the art in some cases, like the mountains in colorado's plate.

As far as your texture for it. Did you paint it? Because it doesnt look like the one I saw today...yours kinda looks cartoonish, maybe too clean looking. Might want to think about taking a picture of one and working with that as a main texture file.

As you said earlier "dirty can be more realistic" and I definitley think that this is the case here. Otherwise I would say you are good to go.

Im only saying this stuff about the plate because I would hate to have that be the one thing to stand out when the whole bike looks awesome and realistic.

Hope this makes sense...its really late im going to sleep :zzz:

Good Luck in the finals...:attn: :attn:

no crits from me, it looks great

YOU REALLY HAVE FOUND QUITE THE NICHE IN MODELS LIKE THIS ONE AND YOUR CAR. THEY ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE. KEEP IT UP.

I'm still waiting for the Blue and Preal White version.:p

Vim, I purchased Maya last Christmas, and before that I worked a little with AutoCad. So about a year.

THX, sorry, been busy at work. I'm waiting for the weekend to do some final renders.

First final try at a final render. I need to fix the shadows because of the floaty look, but it's coming together. Crits welcome.

could use this in a movie.....brilliant!!!!

that is really sweeet. Only thing that I dont like is the shader of the seat, doesn't look that photo realistic.

i agree, i think you should fix the shader on the wheels as well, with those fixed, its perfect:attn:
