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.

Nice work, it reminds me a bit of the cover of
Bat out of hell.  Some real good modelling. 

The first time I posted it was a massive file, 
I think it's a common thing for people to want
to participate and post something before ever
reading the details in the announcements NG. 

Please don't make the mistake of reposting a 
smaller version of exactly the same thing, only 
post another smaller version when you've made 
some considerable progress with the image.

I think you're exaggerating just a bit :)) On my computer, it was quite
awful, each area looked as if I had set the zoom at *5 :)) But, true, I
think it should be compressed. Perhaps not as much as 7kb, but
definitely less than 1M :)

I think Darrel has been beat up enough on this subject and we should
just let it go.

I wasn't singling you out. My comment was directed at everyone in general.

That is the fun. In 3D-modelling it is not neccessary to modell working
things. Such a model of an "old-styled" hoverbike with pipes is something
for the old-fashioned harley-driver in the future ... (?)

like i said i'm sorry about the filesize.. i honestly just forgot to
check it.. i'm on a fast internet connection so i really didnt notice..
it wont happen again.

i'm trying to reduce the rust a little.. i think i've got a little too
much.. but its easier said than done.. i'll post a new version in a few
days<a small one i promise>.. any other suggestions?

there was one comment about the pipes.. i kinda liked them.. but thats
just me. i'm also thinking of adding "saddle bags" on the back.. any
suggestions would be appriciated..

but i'll repost it <under 200k i promise> as soon as i can. i've got a
