Concept surfaces, ready for Class-A.
I build the Sub-D concept surfaces and the edge-flow groundwork. When a programme needs Class-A surfacing, I can arrange it through a specialist partner.
Start a conversationWhat I do, and what a partner does
I do not deliver Class-A surfacing myself. I build the Sub-D concept surfaces: the form, flow and highlight intent, resolved at full scale in VR with your designer. When a programme needs Class-A, I can arrange it through a partner company that delivers it.
Why the groundwork matters
Because the form is judged in three dimensions, in real light and at full size, the surface model that reaches Class-A surfacing is far less ambiguous than one derived from 2D sketches. My surfaces are structured so an Alias team can rebuild them.
What you get
- Sub-D concept surfaces as OBJ and FBX meshes.
- Alias-ready surfaces, structured for rebuilding.
- Renders and turntables for review.
The same approach has taken concepts as far as production bikes. See the case studies below.
Proof · The Lightfighter
The Lightfighter V2-RS and V3-RH electric race bikes were modelled end to end in VR, with designer Fabien Rougemont and founder Brian Wismann. The V3-RH took P2 at Barber Motorsports Park, Lightfighter’s first MotoAmerica podium.

-
Do you do Class-A surfacing yourself? +
No. I build Sub-D concept surfaces and the edge-flow groundwork. When Class-A surfacing is needed, I can arrange it through a partner company.
-
Can your surfaces feed an Alias team? +
Yes. The models are highly controlled and highlight-clean, and Alias-ready surfaces are structured so an Alias team can rebuild them.
-
What formats do you deliver? +
OBJ and FBX meshes, Alias-ready surfaces, and renders and turntables. Not STEP or IGES.
-
Which projects have been built this way? +
The Brixton Storr 500 (EICMA 2022, now a production bike) and the Lightfighter electric race bikes. Both are case studies on this site.
