Behind the scenes for the curious and general updates
Blockout
First I create a really rough block out, no concern about topology just smash it together / Boolean etc. This is going to be to scale so I’ve also created a quick rigged character who is around Kaneda’s height and build. Just looking to get a feel for the main components and how it could work.
Modelling Kanedas Bike
I have always been a fan of Akira, and Kaneda’s bike is one of the most iconic.
The plan is using the cartoon and other sources as a reference reimagine the bike in high detail ready for animation keeping the aesthetics while making it mechanically viable and bringing it up to date.
