Photo Realistic Rendering

Modeling of American Chopper Using Solidworks:

Introduction:

Solidwork is the one of the modeling software.It is a mechanical design automation application that lets designer quickly sketch out there ideas and It is also used to model 2D sketchs into 3D parts.Here we learn about american chopper parts and assembling them and rendering the final chopper after the assembly.

Objective:

• To create individual parts of chopper using solidworks.
• To assemble all the parts into a chopper.
• To know about the applications of decals,lights,camers,ect.
• Finally create photorealistic and render by using photoview360 and solidworks visualize.

Design methodology/approach (Flow chart):

Kickstand:

It is also known as side stand. It is used to support the chopper while it needs to rest on the ground.

Features used to create kickstand:

• Sketch
• Dome
• Extrude boss
• Split
• Fillet
• Loft
• Extrude cut

Sketch:

The sketch is a 2D representation of the model. These are known as entities in Solidworks. e.g.: line, rectangle, spline, circle, arc etc.

DOME

This tool provides a smooth curve on the face of the profile.Select one or more planar or non-planar faces. You can apply dome to faces whose centroid lies outside the face. .

Extrude Boss/Base:

This feature is used to convert a 2D sketch into 3D model.It also allows to extrude the surface in both directions and also offset it to require distance.

Split:

This tool is used to project an entity onto other surface or curved or planar faces. You can also split faces on multiple bodies with one command.

Fillet:

This feature creates a curved internal or external face on the part.This fillet also has a feature to select multiple lines which reduces time consumption.You can Fillet all the edges of a face, edges , loops etc.

Loft:

The Loft feature allows you to generate complex geometry. It does this by interpolating surfaces between various cross section of the model. These cross sections can be sketches, faces or edges. In the Loft interface the cross sections are considered as Loft profiles.
