Making the Front Screen

Creating the front screen

I used a spline to trace the screen and then adjusted the corners to follow the curves of the screen. I then elected the back middle two vertices and shifted them towards the front of the frame and then adjusted them to make the shape look more like one half of a shield. Next I used the refine tool to build some geometry across the front of the shield. I then adjusted the two new lines to curve out somewhat. I used the mirror tool to get the other side of the shield, then attached the two pieces together, welded the middle vertices and applied the surface modifier to the whole shape. I also applied the shell modifier to give the shield more depth when rendering and adjusted the outer amount down so that the shield was a bit thinner.

Adjusted the shield to eliminate any penetration into the bike frame.
