Advanced motorcycle design and 3D modelling

Advanced motorcycle design workshop.  Modelling tips and tricks with Rhinoceros 3D modelling software.

Our lecturer was vehicle designer Heikki Naulapää www.naulapaa.com, who has been working with motorcycle design for years last with BMW motorcycles.

We have had learned basic skills of modelling with Rhinoceros last spring. Earlier we have been modelling small parts based on sketches, but now Heikki set the target higher. First we draw sketches from scratch or to be based on some motorcycle model what we liked to use as a reference for our own design.

Next step was setup for Rhinoceros, scaling sketch to correct size etc. And of course some Heikki’s secret tips and tricks that made modelling to be much faster and smoother.

After doing the 3D modelling we finalized concepts by using rendering software
for adding lighting enviroment and photorealistic materials.

Robot concepts // company collaboration, Probot Oy, Creanorth Oy

In fall 2013, for students in the Department of Vehicle Design at Lahti Institute of Design and Fine Arts was arranged a course in international design management, combined with a customer project in order to gain more practical reflection and experience.

The knowledge gained from the lectures of the international design management were put into practice in an exercise of concepting, designing and visualizing the use for robots provided by the customer, Probot Oy. The target markets for the designs were found all around the world, for example at Venice Beach in California as well as in Hong Kong and the Seychelles Islands.

The designed use for robots included for example gardening, beach sand cleaning, riot control, security enforcement and multipurpose cleaning solutions.
