Hey, im a 17 year old aspiring rigger/modeler, I saw your motorcycle model and rig, and i was really impressed. I actually made a car version of it, but a lot less skillfully and less detailed. can you take a look, and maybe use it for one of your own products or projects? it would make me proud to see an expert use my creation and improve on it. A lot of the features in your video actually made it onto my rig, but it seems like you figured out how to fix some problems i ran into like how to make the body move up with the wheels. if you could look at it and make it better, that would be great. thank you, and i love your work!

Thank you, guys! I'm glad you like it. It took me almost 3 years (!) to complete this project, so at times I just hated this motorcycle (though I didn't spent all that time on this project alone). But at the end of the day almost all I know in CG now (not that I know much, I have many things to learn yet) I learned through this project: modelling, UV-unwrapping, texturing, shading, rigging, lighting, postprocessing, you name it.

Very impressive rig, however when keyframe animating forward and then turning the bike around and then moving forward again, the wheel rotation acts weird on playback, almost as if it does not know in which direction to rotate.

Written June 10, 2016
TimoShch

Yeah... there is such an issue. It's due to how I implemented wheels autorotation: it depends on the main bone (root bone) Y location, so it works only if you move the rig roughly in Y direction. For example, try to rotate the rig 90 deg. along the Z-axis and then to move it in "new" forward direction (that is X-axis): autorotation will not work at all.

You can check drivers for autorotation yourself (who knows, maybe you'll be able to implement something better): the bones are called "wheel(Front/Rear)RotAuto" on the 7th armatures layer.

Hello. I don't know how to enable the rigging. I open the blend project but I can only see the model, no rigging
