Photo Realistic Rendering
American chopper Report
Aim:- To design a photorealistic model of an American chopper bike in Solidworks using different tools and command then render the model.
OBJECTIVE:-
- Understand different tools and command in Solidworks software
- Modeling of an individual component using the commands
- Assembling the individuals component to complete the chopper
- Rendering the chopper using Photoview 360 and Visualize
FEATURES USED
The feature that is being used to model American chopper is as follows,
SOLID FEATURES:-
Sketch:-
The sketch is a two-dimensional representation of the model which is to be later converted into a three-dimensional model sketch that can be drawn using line, arc circle, rectangle, spline, etc on a plane
Extrude Boss/Base:-
It is used to convert a 2D sketch into a 3D solid body by extending the edge of the drawing to a certain distance and angle.
EXTRUDE CUT:-
it is used to remove/delete a certain area/space from a 3D solid model from a 2D sketch.
OFFset:-
It is used to replicate/copy(i.e offset) a 2d sketch to a certain distance on a plane or surface.
Lofted Boss/Base:-
It is used to generate a profile or make a 3D model of various size sketches which cannot be done through extrude boss/base
Split:-
It is used to project features (sketch, solid, surface, plane, etc..) to surface (curved or planar). We can split solid bodies too using this command.
Trim:-
It is used to remove (trim) unwanted 2D sketches from a plane or surface
Revolve:-
It is used to create a replica of 2D sketches by revolving it from a common axis around 360 degrees
Mirror:-
it is used to create a replica of 2D sketches, features, bodies to another half using a common reference like a plane, construction line, face, etc
Combine:-
It is used to join two or more solid surfaces into a single (unibody) solid model.
Chamfer:-
it is used to cut out a slope in an edge of the 3D model using distance and angle appropriately
Fillet:-
To create a rounded edge on both inner and outer ones using a radius value on the 3D model and 2D sketches.
Linear Pattern:-
it is used to create a different number of instances linearly using distance relation and angle relations.
Circular Pattern:-
It is used to create a different number of instances circularly using angle relation.
Swept Boss/Base:-
To create a 3D solid body using a 2D sketch and a reference geometry for the profile
SURFACE FEATURES:-
Extend Surface:-
To create a surface using a 2D sketch according to the distance needed.
Extend Surface:-
To increase (extend) the length of the surface already being created.
Filled Surface:-
To fill the surface using an edge where there the surface is not completely closed.
Surface Trim:-
To remove the unwanted surface from a surface or group of the surface.
Surface Knit:-
To join various surfaces into a single one, then use gap control to fill the edge and finally convert the surface model into a solid model.
Delete Face:-
It is used to remove a face of a model from the surface or plane,
