like this is very nicely built and funny -- redo star wars as steam punk

This is very cool, author! Love the wood, the 'brass' texture with the buttons around the top, the pipes for the gauges, and the gauges themselves (the one on the left could use some more details/wording, tho, but great start). The 'snakey' texture on the hoses is really nice, as well as the structure of the 'feet' and the dome, but I'm not sure if they're 'steampunky', that material looks fairly contemporary. Overall, tho, very nice work.

cool !

fantastic thing author and great humor...well done

Congrats!! well deserved!

Congrats for your first place, Genuine!

Congrats, terrific work

Congrats Genuine2009, that's nice to see you back with 3D contests

congrats

thanks you all for your comm and fav!!!!

This is an awesome design and render, but it's not steampunk. There is no wood, no brass, no steam coming from 'smoke stacks' or tubes of any kind. Research this genre a little bit, author, and do another one, I'm sure you'll kick butt once you see the look. Think Victorian era look/materials with more current technology.

fantastic work but way more war machine then steampunk...any how i wish u best of luck author

Congrats!

Congrats for your second place!

Really awesome construction, congrats!

congrats

That would be a really creative model! Good job author.

Love the crank to raise the lid! The glowing top knob is a bit distractive, but overall this is a great creation!

fantastic!! nailed it auth..gud job

awesome idea! Great job.

cool work author...good luck

Love the gears, love the crank, the keyboard work, but the chrome and blue lights just don't say 'steampunk' IMHO. The gramophone speaker is a really cool idea. If you could just switch the metal to brass, and re-color the lights to just a golden hue, this would be outstanding! Excellent construction overall.

Congrats!! It was my fav!

Congrats for your third place, Mircea!

Congrats Mircea

now that is one badazz bike!

The headlight is too bright, and the star lens flare effect compounds the problem. The light would not be so bright unless it was looked at directly head on, not from an angle like the rendering. You also have a too-bright reflection on the side behind the light, which simply would not exist, unless the light is somehow leaking through the metal.

The rear wheel is quite interesting, although I bet it doesn't get much traction

There is actually 4 light source in the scene.

The head light actually contributed very little to the scene, and it is pointed in such a way that you can see the bulb is visible from the camera.that is why the flare and Glow show up.

The reflection is from the main Light that is to the right of the camera which contributed most of the light which made the scene visible. You can see the shadow cast by the handle bar on the tank.

There is also a Red fringe light to the left and the Blue shadow light from behind the bike..

I don't think metal wheel will get much traction. Was going to put some spikes on them wheels. Note the steering on this bike is on the rear wheel.

gotta love slicks!

wow and wow again...fantastic creation author...well done

Aside from the model's attire being too contemporary for a Steampunk ride, the bike has some great elements to it. The wheels and top cover, not so much, tho, the outsides are way too contemporary, but the inside parts are cool, as is the hydraulic system, reminds me of a steam train. Would have loved to see an exhaust pipe with steam, too, but overall a pretty cool ride for the moonlit night.

very very cool work author...good luck

Pretty cool design on this, tho the silver parts would be better as brass. Nice little touch with the maker's name and date.
