SIILHOUETTE

2020
SOLIDWORKS, RHINO, BLENDER

This bicycle was conceived while studying modern architecture and contemporary designers. More specifically, I was enamored with the works of Mies Van Der Rohe and Konstantin Grcic. I was designing a bicycle at that time and tried to apply their design principles to this project.The top and down tubes are formed out of a single piece of extruded aluminum. This is to focus on one thing: the frame itself.

This is an update to some work I did back in 2013. I've always enjoyed how this bicycle's Aesthetics felt, but I never felt that it received the love it deserved. This was the third time I've modeled the Silhouette, First created in Solidworks, Then in Rhino, Finally in Blender. The textures were created in both Blender and Substance Painter and the Renders were done in Blender as well.
