KANEDA - Power Bike Concept - AKIRA

Here is my personal interpretation of the iconic Power Bike from the anime/manga Akira. I also created the city in the background, along with the biker in his motorcycle suit.

This model holds a special place for me:

it was one of my earliest 3D creations, dating back to 2006.

Hi @madmatt

Wonderful modeling and decal work!
Love the city shot you modeled and posted great work.
One of the great animation classics of all time and one of my favorite movies.
Are you going to animate this? A short segment would be cool done in Blender, Unreal or max.

It’s a very old project of mine—so old that it crashes when I try to open it in the latest versions of the rendering software I used. My original intention was to animate it in a city environment, but I’d need to rework all the materials and redo the rigging of the human biker. It’s a lot of work, and for now I just don’t have the time. Maybe in the future!

Thanks for the kind words. See ya!
