Photo Realistic Rendering

Project Title: Assembly and Photo- Realistic Rendering of An American Chopper Bike.

Objective:

1. To Design Parts of the Chopper Bike

2. Assembly of the Parts to form a whole Bike

3. PhotoRealistic rendering of the Assembly Using Photo-View 360 and understanding Solid-works Visualize.

INTRODUCTION

The parts of the Chopper Bike was designed during the course of the project and this parts has to be but together (Assembly) to make the whole Bike. Parts of the Chopper Bike Designed includes:

1. The Chassis
2. Engine
3. Chain
4. Front wheel
5. Rear Wheel
6. Front Fender
7. Rear Fender
8. Transmission Belt
9. Fork
10. Gas Tank
11. Kick Stand
12. Oil Tank
13. Pedal

These Parts Have been designed to fit into each other. (Geometries were made wwith respect to oother parts) Hence, the DFA (Design for Assembly) Protocols was observed.

Design methodology/approach

The following Flow Chart will explain the steps taken in Designing the American Chopper Bike

Description

1. Part Design:

The Chassis:

This Part serves as the referrence / Frame of the Chopper Bike. All other Part is assembled to the Chassis (Using the Axis of the Chassis as a reference). Hence, the chasis was desined with referance to the standard Planes as well as assemby Planes.

Figure 2: A Rendered View of the Chassis.

Features Used in the Chassis Design

After making Sketches on the Planes, the following features is used to Covert the Sketch to 3D.

The Engine:

This is where Power is generated in the Bike. It is Mounted in the Chassis.

Figure 9: The feature tree of the Engine Ends

With the majority of the Features being used in the Engine and Chassis, A description of individual features incude:

Sketch: This is a feaature used to make drawings in a plane. However, Sketches could be made in a combination of planes using the CompCurve Feature.

Boss-Extrude: This converts a 2-d Sketch to 3-d By giviing it a defined Length in the none Sketch Plane

Cut-Extrude: Is a feature used to Extract parts from a body with reference to the Sketch made on a plane or on the surrface of the Body.

Revolve: This feature is used to make cylindriccal curves as observed in the Chassis

Other Features include the Sweep, Chamfer, fillet, mirror Pattern. The list Goes on as solidworks is freqquently updaated to make Design Much easy.

The Fork:

This part is Attached to the Chassis and it holds the front Tyres and Lights.

Front Wheel:

Rear Wheel:

Front Fender:

This Part Covers the Front wheel, Protecting the bike aand rider from Dust and pebbles emmited as a result of the tyres contact with the Ground While riding.

Rendering

Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program. The assembled model was first prepared for rendering by:

1. Making sure the chooper bike sits properly on th plane
2. Creating a cameera view for thee bike

Rendering Was Done Using Photo-view 360.

Color can also be Adjusted After rendering

Solid works Visualize is also used to carry ourt renders. SOLIDWORKS Visualize enables you to use your 3D CAD data to quickly and easily construct photo-quality material, ranging from pictures to videos, interactive online content, and immersive Virtual Reality. Let the products come to life.

Conclusion

This Project Made etensive use of the Solid woorks software and Gave an insight of how complex shapes and Bodies ccan be designed. Studying the soft copy of the Chopper bike deesign will give a good insight on features Available in solid works. It is recommended in Industries to make design Easy.
