Undead Bike - Bronze edition

 

For a full post about how I created this bike, including video recordings of the sessions, click here.

Undead Cat ABS Print

Had sculpted this undead cat a while back,

Here are the first prints via shapeways


I love shapeways, their quality and range of material options is unrivalled.. but
- their shipping costs sometimes cost more than the cost of the print, and
- the shipments take 2-3weeks to get to my part of the world.

So I got my maker buddy Vincent to see if these files can be printed on one of the printers he has.. heres the first print in ABS from a Prusa -

There are some visible issues with splitting etc.. but the detail is astounding!
I'm very impressed. Took around 6+ hrs with 10% infill.

Here it is after all the cracks glued back and some copper hand painted details

and here it is next to the old shapeways print

If your interested in the original sculpt,
- You can see the making of video here  
- You can view it in 3d here and if you have a printer, you may download the file and have at it.
- If you don't have a printer, you can order a print via shapeways here

The Undead Direwolf is not available yet(till I fix the bugs)

In case you missed my previous posts, these are my take on the Wight creatures in Game of Thrones.. the show has only really shown us Horses, Bears and Dragons.. I decided to build on that and did a number of these creatures. You can see all of them here -

Undead Motorcycle Process

Looking through my old work I realized I hadn't modeled a motorcycle in a while. So I decided to look at some bikes and figure out my next little late night project..
KTMs have been all the rage in Bangalore in the last few years so I decided to have a look at them. I lean towards the traditional motorcycle designs.. so this was new territory for me.

After a bit of browsing and allmost changing my mind, I decided to work with the form of the KTM RC8R ..

Downloaded reference images and started working on the concept in photoshop..

Not yet sure which one I'm going to follow, ribs sticking out of the top or bottom.. but anyway I started blocking out the base mesh in blender

All I need to do is detail out a few more mechanical parts and then I'll start on the "guts".

stay tuned for more updates.

UPDATE:

Heres the completed model(you can dowload it here)

Live Streams thus far

I didn't want to announce this till I was sure I could do this as a long term thing..
now that I know its doable.. here goes -

The Skechfab team invited a small group of Sketchfabbers to stream on their official twitch channel.
And while I had my doubts at first, turns out that I'm able to stream every night of the work week!
So in the last few weeks, I've done around 50 streams..

You can view the archive below(twitch doesnt archive streams indefinitely, hence I mirror broadcast to Youtube and let them sit there for eternity)



to see the full playlist click here 

I stream every night(Mon-Fri) at 1700UTC (10:30pm India)

You can view and chat with me during a stream at

twitch.tv/sketchfab

You can also view the stream at the following locations:
(but typically no chat)

White Walker Cat

With the 7th season of Game of Thrones we got to see a lot more white walkers and wights (creatures raised by the Night King or his white walkers). I happened to be sculpting a bunch of undead things then.. so decided to repaint some as  white walkers or wights .

So heres the Cat

Daily Doodle Undead Cat

Realised that I had a couple of cat models that I could now sculpt on.. I wound up re-modelling them in Blender, and heres the result.

Heres the 3d Model -

I had so much fun with the deer model I sculpted before, that I went back to Blender and modified the base mesh into a more dynamic pose.
