The DoomCycle

Ever wanted to travel 666 miles per hour in hell and you ran out of dash juice? Ever wanted to grind a Marauder to a pulp while seated on fine napa leather? Ever wanted butter that you can't believe isn't real better?
Here is the DoomCycle, a design that I spent a good amount of time designing animating during my spare time. This motorcycle is inspired by the design of Doom-Guy himself and powered by the BFG 9000 and six argent energy cells. Rear-steered tank treads provide extreme grip.
I have more background about this project on my instagram portfolio to check a look at / leyangbai

Holy shit, I can’t believe this video blew up, especially since it’s been nearly a year since I posted it. Thank you to everyone who liked this video! I made this with the intention of combining a game I loved with my profession as a vehicle designer, and I used this project as a crash course to teach myself blender really (the BFG engine block some of you noticed was actually my first modeling project in Blender!) To answer some questions: Yes, the floppy is in the wrong direction……. That tech was before my time and my little Easter egg exposed me lol. There is a rotation mechanism that I didn’t add to this video to show how the Doomcycle turns, but honestly couldn’t find a good place to add the animation to the video. I had no plan for the story EXCEPT to end with the Marauder getting run over, because fuck that fucker. I have been able to contact some of the designers from Doom Eternal who enjoyed my work so they are aware. Obviously you can’t just plug a fan project into a game, but it was still awesome to get their kudos. They did each inspire me after all!

[@deathgodresh]

yea ur a loser who put doom in the tag lol

[@Prototype1026]

It's a fantastic bike with so many elements from most of Doom Guy's arsenal, especially the BFG engine. I can only assume the bike turns like the Halo chopper.

[@mazahs96]

I don’t think people would be too particular on the floppy disc since the entire thing looks so godamn doomslayer eternal vibe that it just fit if they actually added that just for doomguy to flex.

[@vvg916happyengineer]

Umm have you heard of Snowmobiles ? Its a glorified Snowmobile with front wheel track mod which not good for turning radius, okay yes maybe replacing it with Hayabusa/Kawasaki H2 engine may do some help but you just invented a problem for a solution called Chain drive and yes this thing in real life would be an impractical waste of time plus another money pit. So yes, maybe grow food and make Ice-Cream, several kids will be happy as they eat it before or after playing Doom. :) :)

Unfortunately it'd just end up an automatic cinematic...

I've never seen a Chekov's gun go so completely wasted like that. I love Doom Eternal, but if there's one place they dropped the ball, it was in teasing vehicle sections you didn't get.

@@omgsam7185 All three of these games you mentioned have almost nothing to do with doom, completely different genres. I'm not saying open world games are necessarily bad, i love some of them, god of war did it really well for example with making it open world in part 4 and 5. I just don't think doom series is fit for it.

[@mochogamer5591]

@@GregHali the problem I have with open worlds is there is nothing interesting about the open world. It would just be slowly running or mindlessly driving for 5 minutes to enter a building which is a boxed in level, so you're basically playing a 5-3 minute controllable loading screen before getting to the next interesting part.

[@kampfkoloss9687]

An open worlds makes most sense for a game with a good traveling mechanic like assassins creed or gta or when the game is really focused on the world like red dead redemption or botw, doom is really combat focused, but i hope they change something it gets really boring the last game i played 20 minutes and stopped because it was the exact same like 3 with a ton of neon lights
