heavy duty grandpa's bicycle

Description

Here comes the heavy duty bicycle. I made it in cycles.

Most of the objects have a subdivision modifier, meaning you can check the amount depending on your computer, especially for the 3d view window; some computers may hang! This is a high poly stuff.

However, rendering is relatively smooth, especially when I consider my 2GB RAM computer and renders it at 1min 30s.

Parenting

  • The frame acts as the main parent of all the objects.
  • The rims are the parents for each wheel, so, remember to always select it when rotating the specific wheel.
  • Saddle is the parent of its components.
  • The steering is the parent of the front wheel and other related objects.

I like bikes because I'm a bike rider since I's young. Your model is a pretty and detailed one. Good job, Eric. Keep going, man. Regards.

Great model...but I think it belonged to Grandma...(boys bikes traditionally have a brace running between seat shaft and handle bars...don't know why....I've crushed the jewels many times on it)
