Monarped 1958

[David Lindh]

Hello,
Last summer i moved from my parents, not to another plat som meters away but about 600 kilometers. Now when the spring is here i miss my old veteran moped. Therefor I started to create this one in 3D. I can almost smell the oil.



That was the background, I work in Maya 8.0. the majority of the moped is made with nurbs.

To do list:
- The rear fender is to sharp.
- The cylinder need some details like sparking plugg mm.
- Front fork.
- Rear light.
- Shock absorber.
- Swingarm.
- Chain and gears.
- Parcel carrier.
- The list is long.

Some intresting info about monarpeden:
The 1958 years model was a tribute to monark 50 yr anniversary. The new ILO engine was borttonande(tone down) sound.
You could choose between 3 or 2 gears and kickstart. It ony cost 2 öre/km. What that is in todays value I dont know. The eninge had 0.5 horsepower.
The color combination i have in my moped is nr.7 Blue and white but I have silver insted of white. It was also posible to get in in color combination nr. 3(Red and Silver) and nr. blue, pink and grey-white).
This moped was the best of its time. And I promise you that is true, I often choose it in front of my new EU moped and I use to race with modern adjusted mopeds and win. The best part is when their girlfriends walk away from them.


Sory for the big reference images. (1.5mb) Feel free to use them as reference to your own projekts but dont publish them anywhere.

Really nice and smooth work mate keep it up,could you post a couple of real pics for accuracy?

[David Lindh]

Time for update.
I been working on some details and modeled the swingarm, shain and started on the front fork.

[David Lindh]

Here is the latest update, I have improved the rear mudguard and finish the front fork.

The exhaust looks very thin, no wonder all JLO are left behind by Sachs is the hole really that thin? it looks like its about 0,5 cm or less :S

Off-topic, what lens are you using on your D70 ?

[David Lindh]

the exhaust chould be about 1 cm so I make it a litle bit wider, thanks for notice it.

I used a 35-70 mm 2.8-22 f lens, I don't remember the options I used on those photos. It's my dads camera so im stuck with a Nikon F4. But that's a great camera to, you could kill someone with it because of the weight.

well, setting I can see in the exif I just wonder because that lens seems to create som serios chromatic aberration :/ well, nice bike you got I wouldn't mind having one of those in my garage ;D

though some of those options can be digged up from pics meta data
below data from [monark5.jpeg] photo. nothing usefull on it i think...

nice model lookin btw.

[David Lindh]

Wow, didn't know that it was posible to get that information from a jpg image. I think the chromatic aberration is because of the strong light from the sky, some sort of digital bleeding.

[maul]

well.. it gets like that for most lenses, but it was so strong on yours sorry for all this off-topic
I'm thinking of creating my bike also in 3d Maybe you could share some tips? really great work you've done

[David Lindh]

If you create your bike it could be fun to make a animation with them. I don’t know if I could share tips, I don't know anything different from modelling a car.

I started to play with some materials and rendering. This is the first studio rendering so I could need some tip. Later on I will create some dirt.
The filter is from a 20 mm film that I scanned. My old Cantessa Netel from 1922 leaks light so the negative looks dirty.
