This week it was our team's turn to present on a theme. The chosen theme was Communication. We decided that one person work on the PowerPoint presentation and the other, on the video so I took on the role of developing the video about communication. It sums up the theme.
Initially I was going to be responsible for the back portion of the bike, the "sketched" side however the work load was not going to balance out because the "sketched" portion can easily be drawn in vectors using the trace tool in Illustrator. Andrew and I agreed that I work on the back portion sketch as well as the front side where the tire and handles are.
What I Need to Research
| Sketched Side
So far I had studied different trace Methods to replicate the Sketched side
however it isn't as easy as just using the trace tool because it doesn't duplicate
the idea of a pixelated image.
Here are a few samples of trace tool options

I ended up customizing my own trace options and was happy with the result.
Original No Trace My Own Custom Trace Options
I needed to search tutorials on how to make vectors look like a rasterized or
pixelated image and came across this handy tutorial but I wasn't pleased with
the results for our assignment.
| Texturizing Materials
Since I am now involved in the texturizing of the front of the bike I had idea as
to how to do it. Andrew had come across an illustrator artist who showed a
tutorial on how to draw a photorealistic motorcycle in Illustrator. The idea
was to trace basic external shapes, fill them and within the large shapes, create
sub shapes with the high lights and low lights to create the texture. This was a
great start but after attempting I realised that more drawings needed to be done.
There had to be another way of texturizing, I searched up Illustrator gradients
and gradient meshes and to my luck I found a very useful tutorial on how to
create a textured surface using gradients.
Planning is essential for any team project. When you plan ahead you minimize the risk of work pause. Planning ahead increases work flow and by dividing the project into set deadlines you can comfortably move onto the next step comfortably and allow yourself the time to make mistakes and fix them.

Russel wanted a 3DS Max version of the two bikes connected for future reference and a different take on The Black Suprematist collage, so while Andrew commenced working on the illustrator file I imported the two bikes onto 3DS Max and rendered some views.
Go ahead and watch in HD!

A time lapse video of me working on a uni assignment for Architectural Computing. Russel Lowe, provided two motorcycles to generate in 3d using 123D catch, after generating the catch files, I imported them into 3DS Max and began to morph them into one another to imitate the given collage. The 3DS Max version is inspired by the collage. Enjoy
