Enviroment Design

For the hideout design, I wanted to create it so that it looked like it was in a basement. The lighting in it would be quite dark. I also wanted to put some hints around the hideout to show the gangs personality and back story. There would be numerous beer bottle spread about the place, and up turn stools and smashed bottles to show hints of fighting. The posters would be of pin up girls and motorbikes as well as the gangs emblem 'Hells Fury'. There would also be a dart board with photos of rival bike gang memebers.

Choosing the enviroment

For the enviroment, I was originally torn between doing a tough biker gang bar or a motorbike garage. I Then decided to go with creating a bikergang hideout. For research I looked up on the motorcycle gang 'The Hells angels' hideouts and looked at picture of typical memebers for help on my character design later on.

Modeling the vehicle

When modeling the motorbike I had to figure out how certain parts would fit together and if it would function correctly. eg The how would the hood of the front wheel attach to the rest of the motorbike. I also had to think of how I would model the machinery part of the vehicle. I decided to go with a blank cube in which I would texture the engine onto it.

Designing the motorbike

With this vehicle, I wanted to create a cartoonish styled looking motorbike. To do this I wanted to exaggerate the length of the handles bars, exaggerate the length of the front wheel and give it large over the top exhaust pipes.

Here are some design I came up with:

Choosing a vehicle

I decided to go with a cartoonised version of a harley davidson motorbike for my chosen vehicle.

I like the exaggerated design of the handle bars and the long front wheel. I also like the flame designs on the motorbikes.
