And Blender has a modifier to decimate the poly count. With such high-res models it's working pretty good, so you are able to reduce the poly-count to 5% with ease and without great loss.

Of course there is a great number of non-professional-CAD models too. Those real CAD files sometimes need special programs to open (AutoCAD, Inventor, Solidedge, etc.) but some authors already provide standard formats like STL or STEP with their models.
In combination with (for educational purpose free) Inventor/AutoCAD, FreeCAD or SketchUp and Blender it should be rather easy preparing the models (mapping, mesh retopo, etc.) for GPBikes. Here's just an example I've imported in FreeCAD, then exported to STL to be usable with Blender:


Of course the model is veeeeeeery high-res (I think this bike for instance had over 1,000,000 faces after import) and needs a lot of work (or other ways of converting). However, this not really a big deal for someone able to deal the Blender voodoo  8)

Just for me all of this work is too much. At least for the part bringing this models into the game, adjusting physics and sounds I would need help  ;D

Yeah, I understand you need some more teasing to grab your interest!

What about this concept one?

Or this cafe racer?

Or a custom bike?

What's with a Super Moto like?

OK, I guess you understand there are a lot of great bike models available! So is anyone actually interested in using these?
In case you don't wanna create an account or log in with google/facebook, just drop me a line! Several models are available as universal 3D models you are able to use with your favorite 3D software.
In case you aren't able to transfer the model to a useable model for the game, just drop me a line too. Of course I think in some cases I could assist with mapping and other 3D work too  8)

Cheers,

Hey Guys!

Was browsing GrabCAD recently and saw a lot of great Bikes (real, fictional, semi-fictional, concepts) and thought it would be great having some in the game. All of the models are free and therefore don't have any bad touch (like taking the models from SBK, Ride, etc.!).

Anyone interessted?

Cheers,
FuNK!
