(3D Animation) Designing and Making a Motorcycle(Piaggio X8 scooter)

So i've been using blender(instead of Maya, which I'm more comfortable with) to model this intricate motorcycle from Piaggio. The X8 scooter. Truth be told, I'm a motorcycle guy rather than a car guy. 

Here are the final product photos:

Let's jump straight into it. 

Rims, Tires, Wheels

Metal Tire Rim:

I created a cylinder with 6 vertices to form a 6-sided cylinder. Then I split it up and deleted all the other sides except for one. Then I set my 3d cursor to the center where I want my other “pie” to be revolving around. I set my origin to the 3d cursor and then created an empty ‘plane axes’. Then I select the cylinder”pie” and add an array modifier and set iteration to 6. Then I took the rotation empty plane and rotated it 360 degrees. I now have a 6 sided flat cylinder. So all I did was just extrude the main “pie” and the rest would follow. To create the tire metal rim, I just extruded until it almost forms a circle and then I vertex snap the edges to make them all come together.

Whats left to do is just highlight the rim faces(downside and upside) and go to tab on the left and use “loop tools”>”Circle”

Creating the wheels

I created a Torus and aligned it nicely with the metal tire rim

Screw mechanism

First I created a circle mesh. Then I adjusted the vertices down to 18 and applied a “screw” modifier to come to this stage. This is for the suspension cord.

I then put the ‘iterations’ to 11 and change the axis to Y. And update the ‘screw’ value in the modifier to make it look like a spring(closer together). All that’s left now is to scale the circle head to make it thinner. I created a cylinder within the spring and extruded the surfaces like in the picture. I then extruded the bottom and made a curve and expanded the bottom

Exhaust & Gearbox

Exhaust pipes

I took a cylinder and rotate it into position.  I extruded the parts of the cylinder by pressing e. And also I scaled them as and when I need to.to form the shape in the reference. I also extruded the circular face at the other end to form the long tube. From a cube, I made loop cuts on the surface to form an octohedron shape. I then squished it and made it more longer. In this last  picture, what I did was to loop select the top edges and scaled and extruded them to the example picture here.I then attached it to the exhaust.

Gearbox1

Create a circle mesh and turn vertices down to 8. Fit it according to the reference and then form a face on the circle. Then we want to cut the circle, so use “J” and slice the circle as shown here. Next, we want to use the solidify modifier to add volume to the item.

Gearbox2

I extruded the thing according to the topology of the reference. I then duplicated the circle extrusion and combined those together by removing doubles and setting it to 0.23. I then added a ‘solidify modifier at the back to make the plane thicker.

Finally I made the extrusion at the bottom into a circle by ‘looptools’>’circle’ under the specials menu. I also adjusted the vertices on the sides to make it look like a sloping item.

                      Main Motor Body

I started with a plane and rotated it 90degrees to face me(sideview-right). I then adjusted the vertices according to the lines shown. I decided to cover up all the green areas of the body. For those vertices in between, I used “J” to connect the vertices. I then subdivided the new edges according to how many vertices I would need.

Then I extruded all the vertices according to the topology of the bike. Did this by referring to the top-view image reference. To do this simpler, from top-view, I select a group of vertices to extrude out, then ‘pull it out’, then I “ctrl-“ to lessen the area of influence and ‘pull it’, and so on, like a Chinese lantern-like fashion.

I applied the mirror modifier before I went to model and join the “inner” black parts of the vehicle. I connected the vertices by using “f” two by two. I cannot use “J” as there are no faces yet. I then individually add a face to the vertices. Lastly, I extruded the “black parts” inwards, just like the real motorbike.

I switched to the front view to continue follow the topology of the motorbike. I then extruded the edges of the wheel hollow inwards(see picture, I also cancelled the mirror modifier for now so I can see better).

I did the same extruding of the edges at the back of the vehicle to form the concave hollow for the wheel.

Connectors,Mudguard & Dirt Shield

I made a cube and bevel the sides to make a semi circle. I then cut the circle in half. I made some vertices and then I contorted the shape to look like a wheel shield..(ignore the previous motorbike body in this picture)

Screen2:I then added a solidify modifier to make the screen glass thicker by abit. And finally, like all my mirror modifiers, I adjusted until the centre line is not so visible(using “merge limit”), as well as delete faces in between the mirrors. .(ignore the previous motorbike body in this picture)

Sidemirror2:Once I got the correct shape geometry from every angle, I procceded to add a solidify modifier. At the base of the mesh where the handle is supposed to be, I added a ‘specials’ loop tools circle and extruded the handle from there. In this stage pictured, I added an edge loop to make the curvature significant and then another one so that I can add a face inside for the mirror. I also made sure normal are calculated outwards.

Sidemirror3:Once happy, I then duplicated the mesh and move it along the x axis as well as I pressed S to scale on the x axis to “-1”, which will mirror the mirror.

Dashboard1: I made a cube and cut it into half with edge loop, deleted the faces of one side and applied a mirror modifier. I then took two of the top edges and bevelled them. I then subdivided the edge at the bottom and connected the vertices through using “J”. The hard part comes when I tried to delete a face in the middle to fit the handle and brake. Once done, I subdivided the edge to make the shape shown in the picture. Then I extruded the vertices inwards twice. Then I selected the inner vertices and use the specials(W) and looptools to make it circular. This is the base of the handle.

Smoothing: I then used the backview image reference and extruded some parts of the bottom to form this. I turned on ‘smooth’ from the transform tab and flip some faces where their normal are wrong.

Textures & Materials

Acrylic Glass is made first by adding a material on the bike screen and adding: Glass bsdf, Mix Shader1, Mix Shader2(for translucence), Fresnel, Translucent shader, Diffuse Bsdf, In node editor, attach the glass bsdf and diffuse bsdf to the mix shader1(and into output). Then add Fresnel to the ‘factor’ of mixshader1, this allows the sides of the screen to reflect light(set IOR to 1.49). Meanwhile adjust the color of the diffuse bsdf to reflect acrylic green tint. Then add mixshader2 so that we can combine a translucent shader, then turn down mixshader2’s factor to .049. .(ignore the previous motorbike body in this picture) .(usage: Screen(as shown).)

Cushion: I needed to make a material with uneven texture. I added a: ·   Glossy bsdf ·   Mix shader ·   Layer weight To add gloss to the material. The mix-shader is to combine the ‘diffuse’ with the ‘gloss bsdf’. The ‘layer weight’ is added for the factor part of the mix-shader. Next, I needed the bumps so I added: ·   Voronoi Texture ·   Musgrave Texture ·   mixRGB ·   ColorRamp ·   Bump ‘Voronoi’ is scaled to 100 to increase the “sediments” in the texture. ‘Musgrave’ is changed to multifractal with a scale of 100 to make texture look “poped-up” and ‘sand-like’. Both these attributes are funnelled into the ‘mixRGB’ with the “add” property. Then this info is funnelled into the ‘ColorRamp’ to create more contrast in the texture. Change the gradient meter to black on one side and slide it closer to the middle. Then funnel this into the ‘Bump’ and change the strength to 0.3 and distance 0.1. Send the attributes to the diffuse bsdf and the glossy bsdf. .(usage: Seat & Dashboard handle grips.)

UV Mapping & Lighting

UVMAP-Backlight: I highlighted the faces where the backlight is then press “ctrl+e” and mark seams. Then I pressed “U” and instead of unwrap, I chose “Project as viewed”. Once done, I went into ‘uv editor mode’ and placed the vertice points onto the png image of the lighting that I grabbed from the real model. I also needed to create a new material and went into the ‘node editor’ and deleted the standard ‘diffuse bsdf’ and instead added the ‘Image texture’ and opened the same png file of the backlight. I then added: ·Texture coordinate ·Emission The ‘Texture coordinate’ is connected to the ‘image’s Vector.
