This project is the result of participating in the Sci-Fi Motorcycle Challenge organized by Sketchfab. The concept was inspired by the cyberpunk science fiction culture but I wanted to keep an stylish overall look that could fit in an actual vehicle design.

The motorcycle plan is an arrow. This shape has a key role in several elements of the vehicle but it is only evident when you see it from the top. The head of the motorcycle has the most cybernetic elements hidden by a tinted glass panel. These elements are the miniaturized self-driving sensors and the CPU, that is intentionally visible through the glass, reminding us of the technological explicit feel that characterizes cyberpunk.

The basic shape was sketched in VR using Gravity Sketch running on an Oculus Quest headset. I used a human body character to have a more accurate idea of the ergonomics. This is becoming my favourite workflow.

After sketching, I started defining the surface with curves, trying to keep the flow of the sketched lines. Sub-D, the subdivision surface solution from Gravity Sketch was helpful to the final modeling in a more traditional way.

After this, I exported the model to Cinema 4D in order to create more accurate UV maps that I could use in the texturing process (Toolbag 3 and Quixel Mixer).

Here below you can check the final model I submitted to the challenge in Sketchfab.
