HYDRA | Concept Motorcycle | Blender Short

HYDRA - My first Blender short over 1 minute. Created in 1.5 weeks in Blender and composited in Davinci. Let me know what you think in the comments!

"Hydra Bike - designing from the inside out a, design study on hydrogen power trains."
Hydrogen power has been in and out of the zeitgeist several times over, mainly due to infrastructure and technological constraints. But it is the holy grail of sustainable energy, if only we could ever crack the puzzles holding us back.
The Hydra Bike is a design study on the hydrogen powertrain of the future. What would a modern-day motorcycle look like if we invested in Hydrogen Powertrains rather than Electric? How would this powertrain look and affect the visual appearance of the Motorcycle?
The Hydra bike is designed from the inside out. We began by imagining the internal components of a hydrogen powertrain then we let these components help dictate the design of the bike. It was critical for us to have the package be versatile. Being easily adjusted to suit a scrambler set up or a street bike set up.
Hydrogen power is still a contender, and it seems more on the horizon than we think. Being one of the most abundant substances in the universe and being more eco-friendly than Electric powertrains hydrogen power should not be forgotten.

every shot is incredibly cinematic and creative! amazing work

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks so much! (:

[@wanisz_]

Love the Chopin's piece in the background, so good

[@andretaylforth]

Yeah it’s so good! Almost felt like a cheat code when animating with it

[@deanwalcott4752]

This is the most impressive animation I've seen in blender, If I didn't know it was made in blender I would have thought It was actual camera footage, amazed that you created this in only 1.5 weeks! Incredible work on this!

[@andretaylforth]

Haha thanks for the awesome comment!

[@lekhanshjeewon3784]

Every time I watch this I get shivers down my spine, gosh... , hats off dude.

I feel humbled! Thanks for the awesome feedback

[@cgfocus]

This is a masterpiece man

[@T595955i]

Beautiful! First time in over 30 years (since the Yamaha Morpho) that I'm actually surprised by a futuristic concept and saying to myself "this could well be the future of motorcycles". Well done. 👍👍

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks for the awesome comment! Obviously things like the seat are too flat etc for reality, but glad it got you inspired ;)

[@mkky8782]

There were definetely multiple inspirations. But hopefully we were able to remix them in a way that feels fresh (: so thanks!

[@KynanVoyeaud3dArtist]

Really beautiful, great work !

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks man!

[@Todd_Manus]

To work at a scale that helped convey motion and speed... very impressive. Establishing a sense of speed in an animation is really challenging.

[@andretaylforth]

Tahnks for the nice comment. Yeah it can be a tricky one to get a sense of speed. Luckily there wasn't so much riding in this video :P my next video will be full driving ;)

[@amod9935]

I don't understand how people make this stuff, that's so cool!

[@andretaylforth]

cheers! i used to think the exact same. its lots of small lessons you learn all combined into one big thing (:

[@cyonix5941]

At first I thought it was another Ash Thorp inspired work but I was wrong. The design of the motorcycle is very unique! Well done

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks! He of course is a big inspiration! But in this case we started with a much more lighthearted design, and only when we got to the texturing and world buidlibg did we make it much more cruel and dark (:

[@fabriciomira2]

Simply beautiful, man 👏👏👏

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks! :D

I'm not exaggerating. It's the best concept bike I've ever seen. I can say this about the animation: Man, this quality, this music, camera transitions. It's a whole. It's a masterpiece. I love everything Andre does. Hydra is a great project. Keep it up, man!

[@gianlucap1935]

Terrific job! Liked and subscribed. Keep it up, hope to see more. :) Also, when you make these projects, would be great (if you can) a follow up with you describing the process of creation. Don't mean a complete tutorial, that would deserve a dvd, but a briefly description of the steps followed. Don't mind the editing: record the desktop and speak over. For example, I'm curious about the rendering process. You modeled the single scenes and then rendered their animations, correct? Then joined them in DVR and composed the short movie. How long did it take to render the scenes, in general? And what hardware did you use? Did you use Nvidia with Optix and CyclesX.

[@andretaylforth]

Thanks so much! Yeah I definetely wasn't thinking about this beforehand as its my first short. But yeah I'm already thinking about making a video for this as a few people have asked already now ;) in general each frame took about 10-20 seconds to render. It was done in cycles x with an rtx 3090
