Nice job on the modeling!

Looks really good.

[m3fs]

thanks guys. The whole thing is made up of parts from the manta and turrets from the game. The guys and gals at EPIC deserve the credit for the modeling -
I'm just the guy that conceptualized the thing and slapped it together Thanks for the comments though!

[m3fs]

next will be to add some more elements. Maybe a cockpit cover? I don't think so - I like it open. I may add one more gun to the front though.

If I had a bike with guns on it, behind me wouldn't exactly be my first choice of places to mount it.

[m3fs]

Yeah I thought about that. Maybe I will put a bigger gun on the front and have those two rear guns restricted to rear facing and 90° to the rider.

FYI the rider will lay down on the bike to ride it.

Anyone knows the Game Cube game "Exteme G3" ? A racing game with futuristic armed supersonic bikes on amazing circuits
The bikes have a very nice weaponary, namely: Shields, Miniguns, Railguns, EMP,
Micro Mines, Flash Mortar, Disrupter to jam enemy's bikecontrol, armorpiercing Rockets, heatseeking Rockets and a kind of Vampyre to steal Shieldenergy for your own bike. All in one bike.

maybe you want to implement some of those weapons

Never played a gamecube but those sound like good ideas. I like the idea of heat seeking rockets.

Nice job dude. Can't wait to see the final vehicle.

thanks man!

[Clarent]

Yep I know extreme G. Originally played it on the N64.

Also what program are you using to do this?

[m3fs]

3d studio max 2008 for manipulation of the models, bones and skin. Photoshop for the textures, and UE3 for the rest

I remember the N64 game called Extreme G, I never played the GC version.

I loved it on N64 though, awesome game.

BTW
Are there any plans to make this a functional in game vehicle or is it only for the movie?
