2nd gen 3D model of SV650
 

My brother Simon is building a 3D model of the 2nd Gen SV650. It could be useful if anyone here would like a platform to further modify and see how the bike looks after modifications. If you think this is a good idea please post here. I'll keep you posted with the latest renders...

Thats one project I have been meaning to get started on for AGES - so may save me the work :)

Yep its a good-un

(oh and I wouldnt mind a copy of the model :)

Re: 2nd gen 3D model of SV650
 

What package did your bro use?

C4D?

Nice work! :D

I've be meaning start one for my curvy, but all the lovely curvy bits are tricky!

wicked!
Can this be sent as a .STEP file, or a .IGES file?

if so im interested in having a copy to play around with.

the reason i ask is i use an Engineering 3D pakage, ProEngineer.

Ok, to answer some questions...
True curvies are harder to model. I've started that ages ago on 3DSmax then I stopped using that and migrated to Cinema 4D since 3DS is not available for my work computer (mac), so now I'm modelling it on Cinema. Got the tank ready, the frame and forks if I remember correctly. Once Simon finishes his model I guess we can just change the tank and plastics and Voila we have a curvy as well. So must continue on mine I guess since there's interest!

My bro uses 3DSmax

I've never heard of .step or .iges
Maybe you could find a file converter program?

Re: 2nd gen 3D model of SV650
 

Converter program -hah!

I use Rhino3d - can input or output ANY of those file types :)

Also is fully NURBS based.

However I am trying to get the time to learn/convert over to Blender.

I've got this file for those of you who use Sketchup. You can convert it to use in other programs but Sketchup is a bit low poly and it sort of renders strange. Can be used as a quickie though...

I see we have a strong 3D, C4D community here! Am a Mac C4D too :D

would be sweet to get it to this level of detail! part by part :D
