Photo Realistic Rendering

PROJECT : " American Chopper "

Objective :

To create and assemble the different parts of the american chopper using SolidWorks and rendered it via Solidworks Visualize. Also add lights and decals using SolidWorks .

Introduction :

This project is all about " AMERICAN CHOPPER ". The steps followed from creation of parts to the assemble into single body and to create realistic rendering of it using different operation.

Flow Chart :

  • Create Parts
  • Assemble the Parts using mates
  • Decals , Environment , Scene , Lights and Camera Position
  • Rendered the American Chopper



Parts :

  • Kickstand
  • Front Fender
  • Rear Fender
  • Chain
  • Oil Tank
  • Transmission Belt
  • Pedal
  • Rear Wheel
  • Front Wheel
  • Gas Tank
  • Chassis
  • Engine
  • Front Fork

Features used to prepare these parts :

Depending upon the part to be constructed , we choose different way to create. So , after proper understanding ,we have to choose the best way. There are many ways to prepare the part. we have to calculate which way is easier and also less time consuming.

Few features used to create these parts are as follow :

  • Extrude Boss / Cut
  • Revolve Boss / Cut
  • Sweep
  • Mirror
  • Fillet / Chamfer
  • Split
  • Dome
  • Pattern
  • Loft
  • Boundary Surface
  • Loft Surface
  • Surface knit
  • Shell
  • Combine


Mates Used to assemble " THE AMERICAN CHOPPER " :

There are many types of mates used to connect the part to each other. Depending upon suitability , choose the best way to connect. Few mates used are as follows :

  • Distance
  • Coincident
  • Concentric
  • Width
  • Limit Angle
  • Parallel
  • Tangent

After assembe we move to next step.


Decals , lights , scene and rendering :

Now , we have to give it a realistic view as much as we can . So for that , we will add decals , lights , scene to the american chopper and at last go for the render .

Conclusion :

Using Solidworks , we can design from bolt to american chopper with proper knowledge of all the commands and feature provided within the software . Also , for rendering we can use visualize for the better and also compare the different rendered images too.
