Nicely modelled and the textures are great. I agree that the rust
is a little overdone.


Could you please refrain from posting such large file sized images
on this server. A 1 meg image is considered very excessive here.
We would prefer that you use enough compression that you keep the
file sizes down to under 200k for an image this size and you really
should have no problems maintaining image quality if you choose the
right settings. The reason we ask this is because 1.) the server
resources are not unlimited and 2.) many of our visitors are
connected on phone lines where they have to pay by the minute and
downloading large images like this gets expensive for them.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Ditto.

This hoverbike must've been fished up from the ocean bottom.  Great job of
texturing everything.  The handlebars are kind of wirey and there's faceting in
the pipes (could be denting, even manufactured bends though) but those are the
only bad points I'd say.
Actually the lighting almost suggests it's still on the ocean floor and being
looked at from a submersible.  No explaining the standing, hovering position.

Very nice rendering, not much to complain about, except perhaps that the
exhaust pipes don't look smooth enough. And, as others have pointed out,
please keep the filesize down. This pic took ages to download with my 56k
modem...

It really looks good, but

- it has definitely too much rust
- the front bend in the side pipes looks a bit chunky.

Nice work.

As everyone else pointed out:
 - Image's too big.  I hate donwloading black pixels for ten minutes!
 - The welder who shaped those exhaust pipes did a crappy job.

Now a few comments of my own:
 - The rust texture used for the frame looks more like rattlesnake skin
colors than rust.
 - There are no "exhaust pipes" on a jet engine.  Combustion by-products
are mixed with the main flow of air.  Besides, if there were exhaust
pipes, they would be attached to the combustion chamber, which is in the
middle of the engine.

Unless your hoverbike owner wanted to paint it rattlesnake-skin-color
and added crappy exhaust pipes to the side of the engine to give it a
meaner look.

That thing looks like it probably doesn't work anymore.
Normally I would comment on the realistic moelling anf texturing, but instead
I'm going to chew you out for a nearly 1Meg download. Thanks. We appreciate
it. (Just kidding (hardly))
Now granted most newbies will post excessive images, but please, 1M?!? Let me
guess, you tried to post a 2M image first but hit the server max?
Try to keep the size under 200k. 'Specially if you're going to post another.

Could you please post a smaller picture next time -- I was able to compress
this one to a 7kb JPEG without significant loss of quality.
