3D Modelling a Honda Cub Trial Bike

Modelling a Honda Cub Trial Bike.

I chose this Honda bike for my next 3D study because it's design will give me an opportunity to model complex hard surface shapes, and the amount of details present particularly in its engine will help train my eye on the proper placement of small details.

Honda Cub Trial

Since I will be modelling it in a realistic way, I need to understand at least the basics of this bike, e.g., the parts, how the engine works, etc. This way I can model the bike with acceptable accuracy and looks realistic.

To achieve this, I searched for all relevant references for the Honda Cub Trial. This isn't an exhaustive reference board, as I might find more good images as I progress. Aside from using images, I will also be using videos made by other people knowledgeable in motorcycles or dirt bikes.

My Reference board for the time being. Images may be added as I progress through this project.

Building in UDK

 With my assets all ready and textured, I then proceed to build my scene in Unreal.

3D assets that I will use

 After piecing together my assets, I finally have my scene in Unreal.

3D Modelling Phase: Sci Fi Bar

I finished modelling the main parts of my scene and will now go and work on texturing them.

My important 3D pieces fitted together (Left), My modular Pieces (Centre), and my bar/club name (Right).

Blocking Phase: Sci-Fi Bar

To start off I did some blocking so I can visualize my concept in 3D. It will also act as my guide on where I will put my planned 3D modelled objects.

Enviroments Project Rough Concepts

With the mood board sorted I can now mix and match designs until I come up with something I like. After messing away in my sketches I finally found the design that pleases me:

This is when I told myself, "this is what I want it to look."

And here is my final design idea. .

The final concept is still messy and rough but I intend to leave it like that at the moment so I can jump straight into modelling.

Enviroments Project Moodboard

For this new project, I'll be going for an indoor of a bar/night club in a circular building structure. I want it to be circular because it will make every spot inside roomy and spacious.

Here is the mood board I made that will reflect what I wanted:

New Project: Enviroments again!

We have been told that our new project will be environments again. I'm excited that this is the project idea again as this is where I feel more free.
