Cat Bike

Description:

Cat Bike

“Cat Bike” is a motorcycle I designed, modeled, textured, and rigged with the purpose of exploring various hard-surface modeling techniques and focusing on precision in modeling, as well as translating 2D designs into 3D objects. The design of the motorcycle is inspired by large cats such as jaguars and panthers and based on several Japanese motorcycles and sports bikes from brands such as Suzuki and Yamaha. The final design, shown below, was achieved after several rounds of ideation and includes all visible features of a functional motorcycle, such as handlebars, foot rests, exhaust pipes, and brakes, to name a few. Additional research was done on the steering mechanisms of motorcycles to allow for more accurate rigging.
