Handlebar Clamp 3D Model for Moove Bike Co.

This is another complex 3D model I am working on at the moment to be used to create final illustrations for online bike parts retailer Moove Bike Co. The mutli-faceted object with complex curves, bores, and fillets was a 3D modelling challenge. Analysing every nook and cranny of an object as beautiful detailed as this for modelling gives a real appreciation of the manufacturing skills required. In this case the object has been machined with lathe, drill & milling among other methods. The step by step modelling of the object in 3D software reflects very closely the steps required in real life strangely enough, starting with the cuboid, and slowly paring away the shape, boring the through holes. If one step is taken to soon it can result it in it not being possible to complete another step, so a methodical & planned approach has to be taken!. Hope you like it so far! I will post linework illustrations tomorrow!
