AMA Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) Kaneda's PowerBike v1.0 by AMA for GTA San Andreas Many anime fans may recognize this motorcycle from Katsuhiro Otomo's 80's anime cult classic Akira アキラ. In Neotokyo, Kaneda uses his powerbike against a rival bike gang known as the Clowns. Later the bike is also used in evading attacks from his telekinetic and psychopathic childhood friend Tetsuo Shima. This bike was modeled from scratch in 3dstudiomax6 with movie screenshots and other poor resources. I tried my best to keep to the original blueprints, however some alterations were made based on usability and personal preferences. My modeling skills are mediocre at best, using the ancient ways of polygons instead of nurbs. I've been sitting on this for a long time and it turns out someone else ( a-christ and TICK ) created one. No offense, but naturally I still favor my own version. I should have uploaded mine sooner if I wanted to maintain originality. Oh well, I snooze I lose. I shouldn't have spent so much time tweeking it. -------------------- Available here. Comments?

Blackadder. Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Although I can't judge it for accuracy (Never watched it), it looks far better than the other one in my opinion, has much more detail, Great Job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude GTA3 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Is that bike real? it looks great! Have you modified the handling line for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMA Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 @Claude GTA3 Yes, I modified the handling, but I didn't make it too insanly fast. If you wanna go slamming into things you can use SA Handling Editor on "BIKE" cuz I didn't quite feel the need-for-speed as much as others may have, lol. It's available now, have fun.

92F Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Looks like it could need some detaching, especially around the rear to define some of the lines. Nice model btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM!! Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Im a huge fan of AKIRA and it looks good but looks like it could need some moore work, on the front pic the wheel isint attached to the body, and the stickers isint that acurate as the ones in the movie and magazine, i have them somewhere in my PC if you want em? and a texture on the whole body to make moore contrast for shaped would make this a damn fine bike. Nice model, how many polys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMA Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 It's around ~39,790 polys. Although, I'm not enitrely sure of that estimate. Oh crap, I just realized that I lost the 3dsmax save for this model. When I reinstalled 3dsmax6 it deleted all my scenes including the one with this bike model, and I'm pretty sure Kam's script locked up the dff file so I can't modify this any more. I guess it's not a beta anymore since I can't edit it. The only way I can do anything new with this is to re-create the bike all over again using nothing but the same textures. *kicks self* Really sorry, but what you see now is what you get.

uggabugg Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 i know this is an old topic, but i just wondered: i tried to replace the freeway with this bike instead of the pcj600, as the way cj sits on the bike looks better that way. just one problem, he sits way above the bike, is it possible to make him sit down in tha saddle instead of above it? if so how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra4 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Doesn't matter what bike you replace, you can edit the animation reference into the vehicles.ide line to make CJ sit any way you like. The seating position problem can be solved by editing the .dff file, but that requires sufficient 3DS Max or zmodeler skill.

uggabugg Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) thanks, ive tried to play around with it in 3dstudio, but im still å complete noob in that area so i can change how he sits from a pcj type to a freeway type in vehicles.ide? can i lover him too? or do i have to do that in a 3d program?

Supra4 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 you can change the way he sits in the vehicles.ide line, but not the height. I made a brief explanation of these things on this page , including the names of all seating positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picolini Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 If you use all the same data lines and just replace the freeway instead, it should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
