Trying out some new 3D software...

[Gazjam]

Trying out some new software today, pretty chuffed with it.

Impressive!

[The Black Adder]

Oooh, what's the software?

[sq225917]

If you'd modelled those 3 in one day i'd be more impressed.... ;-)

[struth]

might be xara. its a nice program; tried a trial of it

[Gazjam]

Combination of my trusty Lightwave 3D for modelling, and a new (to me) program called Keyshot for lighting, texturing and rendering.

@Josie,
Biggest advantage of Keyshot is(imo) is its speed in real time GI viewport preview rendering, tried other render engines like VRay, Maxwell, Octane and this this breats the pants off them for this type of work.
Like always it's about slotting in where it works in your workflow.

More playtime tomorrow :)

@Si
If I could model at that speed I'd be rich!

How about your Gyro 3D'd Gaz?:eek:

[Gazjam]

You know Andy that'd make a great portfolio piece!
Wonder if there are any plans for it online?

save me dusting off the vernier gauge....

*edit*
emailed Michell and asked if they might pass on some Cad data to help.
If you don't ask..... :)

[Gazjam]

No reply from Michell...ah well.

[Gazjam]

Todays effort, a few more images..

Oooh ! I'll have one of those :D

[Spectral Morn]

That looks interesting.

I've spent quite a bit if time rendering 3D models with DirectX.

Bit of a nightmare as there are many different 3D model formats and converting between them using PolyTrans (or other utilities which were usually worse) was always a pain, in the sense that what you'd get out was almost never right.

Hours spent messing with models and C# (Managed DirectX). When the models were right the visuals on a screen the size of a normal lounge wall (projected) were absolutely stunning.

Architectural flythroughs are great projected "real size", did a bit of that in a past life..
Been dabbling again today, a few new ones.
Spiritual successor to my Young Dac? :)

Have you done those in SolidWorks? if so then there is a sheet metal bolt on that allows you to create nets etc that are equally as applicable to strip heater formed acrylic.

[Gazjam]

Work with Inventor Mark, though Solidworks is cool too.

Luckily they are interchangeable, know anyone with manufacturing facilities for sheet metal and acrylic? ;)
