A 3D Bicycle help

[vickymustdie]

(Sorry For My Grammatical Error English)

Hi there,
I'm vicky from India, a freelance 2D Flash multimedia developer/animator. Currently i'm working for a bicycle manufacturing company as a flash developer. They need a small animation of there bicycle(usual one)in a 3d animated form in Flash. I mean to say a model of one of the bicycle riding by someone and animation happening by that riders view (upper view). Thats confusing, right , but get clear, Assume that the rider riding the bicycle and watching it from top view, and the reflection passing through the mudguard, handle, bell and the steel body of the bicycle is the main part i want to highlight when it moves, changing directions.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS



I'm not very good in drawings, so can anyone help me to find out the 2d drawing of a bicycle or cn suggest me any idea regarding this.

I hope you'll getting me Please help me.

So, shouldn't the bicycle manufacturer have some pictures of their own bicycles that they can provide to you? Otherwise, I would think that you could do a search for bicycles and find a site that has some pictures that you could use for visual reference. And are you just looking for a static image of a bicycle or do you want a 3D model of a bicycle? Your image is a broken link, so I'm not sure I completely understand what you are looking for.

First of all, Thanks RUSHVision, to reply my queries.

You are right, the bicycle manufacturer had provided me some pictures of their bicycle, but they requirement is something different, they need their bicycle to be animated, so i need a model of a bicycle in 3d format or in a vector format from the top view as shown above, so that i can animate it from top view camera angle.



Well, i'm trying to find it through some search engine, and if possible please help me providing any help.

I was finally able to see your picture by editing your post and pasting the link into another browser window. Just so you know, the free servers like geocities don't allow image linking so that's why your picture is not showing up.

Ok, be patient while we try to narrow down exactly what you are looking for. You have a picture of just the front part of a bicycle looking down from the top. What exactly will you be animating? Is the bicycle itself going to be animated or will you just be animating the reflections in the mudguard, handle, etc.?

And as far as the 3D bicycle goes, do you want just an image of the 3D bicycle looking down from the top, or do you want an actual 3D model? If you want the model, then what 3D programs do you have so you can import it?

use the key word "bicycle" You will find 35 results and the prices range from Free ( http://www.turbosquid.com/HTMLClient...AssetID/158944 ) to $200.00 USD. But if you have a client that should not be a major concern. That should give you the model that you need to get going. Regards, Bill
