Extreme-G Racing

Here is a snapshot of a missile fight during the race. The deadliest missile of all being the Yellow-straight-aim-400.. Here on the image, Gray's bike avoiding the trajectory of the missile while jumping in the air.

In Extreme-G, the tracks are very creative and amazingly curvy but they still offer very high speeds. Fun fun fun!

Gentlemen, start your engines

After doing the revival of the "Grimace" futuristic bike from the Game Extreme-G, here are 4 of my favorite AI opponent bikes. The interesting and creative part of this was to imagine what the bike looks like with the only few low-res images I found on the web.

For these bikes, I tried for the first time the texture mapping onto unfolded surfaces. This way, I could draw and position every rust and dent precisely on the bike.
