Heres somthing ive been playing around with today just testing what you can make from a Zsphere not done any moving as of yet these are the results from zspheres only,think i’ll make the wheels the same way ron did in his spiders web tutorial.
Very nice Zsphere work. If you use radial you can make a bike wheel with spokes rather quickly in zspheres, including the tire. Then using the magnet sphere properly placed, you load the wheel into one at the front and one at the rear to have a complete bike. You will have to work on the wheel(s) separately as they will be contained in the magnet. What ever way you choose, great start. 
So that what the VW is for!
Its a VW push bike. you like!
As for the wheels jason i had a go but,the results were not good enough.
will have another shot tomorrow.
Heres an update of the frame, not my paint job though this was caused by zif click and i cant seem to get rid of it although i quite like it its caused when i selected a zsphere anyone know how you get rid of it?
Just select rotate, select that sphere and drag across the screen, it should rotate. Then goto preview ans see if it rotated in the correct direction, if not go the other way.
Can you share the adaptive skin settings you are using?
Cheers jason i got it sorted now;)
Zoetrope: adaptive skin settings are. [Ires…6] [Mbr…0] [Mc & Mc OFF]
Heres just a little update on the frame so far,still playing with zspheres only no detailing done as of yet
I’ve done a ZTL wheel up for you, but it’s on the other system that just lost it’s mamma. I’ll try to get it up later tonight after a resurrect it’s mamma or provide a surrogate. Got spokes and rubber around the outside, all zspheres, based on something a fella did on the board quite some time ago. Also for a bicycle.
Well what can i say jason but a BIG THANK YOU,
love the people on here always willing to help us noobs out
(even with goodies:D )
maybe this will be 1 i get to finnish lol
:eek:Thats all i got to say:(
Try this script… Should give you the basic process.
cheers jason
will have a look at it l8tr when the kids have gone to bed and i get a bit of peace.
heres just a test i done tonight using jasons wheel just to see about placement
need thicker wheels more like BMX wheels so will be giving this a go myself.
thanks for the script jason its given me a starting point now
Looking pretty cool now! If you use a magnet sphere, placed correctly for each wheel and import each wheel into said magnets, you can have the bike as one object. Unless you did that already. Looking great. Needs more spokes as well. And better tie rubber alignment, but I think you will have a very cool ZTL when finished.
Thanks Jason! I have been working on a bicycle project for sometime now and the wheels were not working out. I was trying to make them from the Rim to the hub but your method makes much more sense… I will post the results soon!
