I was just wondering how good some of you guys out there are with your 3d models in Solid Works or Inventor; whatever you use. I made this back in jr. year of highschool in inventor, havent screwed with it since.




Thought it was cool in highschool

Based off a Rally II for a 76 Formula



Haha impessive=impressive

Unigraphics:


CMARC:




(k, I'll admit it, the UG one wasn't done by me I just told my teammate what to draw. The CMARC was created (manually) from the UG model. Point by fucking point.)

it's at work, i'll post it tommorrow

i found some, it's just not my best work...

cool shit, I thought mine was cool back in 11th grade. But Im not sure if its even good. Dont really know what good is.

this drawing



which became this




I helped some but most of the drawing was done by our teammeber Matt

I made a 3-d drawing for a trailer I wanted to build in Solidworks after tooling around with it for about 3 hours. But its not on par with what you guys have here.

I'm designing a catamaran hull on paper right now that I want to model in solidworks and then have one of you engineers run some fluid analysis stuff on it.

The last one I designed floated naturally upside down

I took a class a comm. college when I was a sophomore in highschool for beginners 3d Studio Max. While all the other old ppl were learning how to make boxes I was making an Xwing and Tie Fighter dogfight scene. Wish I still had the files though. The next semester they cancelled the class for some reason, I was pissed, wish I had kept going, prolly would have a job by now.

a little pixelly... but you get the idea...

it was my project in GC210. Not too impressive, but that's all I got

8/8/2005 11:20:11 AM

i did a flashlight for gc 120

that shit was the bomb

Maugan: You should REALLY be using Rhinoceros for Hull / Boat design. It's THE 3d package for boats. Of course you have to get the ungodly expensive hull packages to be able to do it, but its the way to go.

I made this goofing off with 3dsmax one day about 2 years ago.

8/8/2005 1:22:55 PM

Noen:

I know I should be using other software, but I really just want to tool around with it. Eventually I want to make a plug out of whatever I finalize but I don't know any of the other software packages and I'm not real keen on learning a new one

8/8/2005 2:01:51 PM

here are two more, total time modeling was about 2 hours, total time setting up was bout 5 hours, and <1 hour for photoshop, all in a days work...

8/8/2005 10:45:14 PM

Rhino takes about a day to learn primitives and maybe a week to learn complex surfacing. Solidworks is the anti-christ of modeling programs, so if you somehow figured it out, Rhino is cake.

haha.. try unigraphics

8/9/2005 1:19:08 AM

^agreed UG = pain

8/9/2005 6:59:42 AM

The only one I've ever used is Inventor and a little bit on Solidworks. Inventor is a pain because you have to draw 2d images then extract them outward and shape them. There has to be a better way to do it. But I thought my wheel was pretty cool.

8/9/2005 5:48:48 PM

Solidworks was pretty straight forward to me.

I spend about an hour going through the online tutorials and off I went.

8/9/2005 6:08:43 PM

sw is supposed to be about as easy as it gets i think

(for industrial cad software)

8/9/2005 6:24:32 PM

3ds max w/ vray is where it's at

8/9/2005 9:38:11 PM

8/9/2005 10:02:32 PM

8/9/2005 10:06:26 PM

Solidworks is ridiculously easy. By far the most user friendly and easy CAD program I've used.

8/9/2005 10:32:27 PM

^^^

Well my bro can make some models afterall.

8/9/2005 11:10:15 PM

That was from last fall. Pretty shit render, but I don't have my computer setup yet. Best part is that bad boy is fully working, go all the cabling, reduction gears, pins and casters on er

8/10/2005 12:06:12 PM

looks like a torture device what is that?

8/10/2005 12:07:14 PM

Hip and leg abduction and extension machine.

Works the gluteus minimus and medius muscles.

8/10/2005 12:09:33 PM

seems way to difficult to get into

8/10/2005 12:23:55 PM

I lift weights a lot and I would have never guessed it was that
