Photo Realistic Rendering

MODELLING AND RENDERING OF THE AMERICAN CHOPPER

OBJECTIVE:

 To create Modelling and Photo Realistic rendering of American chopper by using Solidworks.

EXECUTION: 

STEPS FOR DESIGN:

- Open a new file.

- Selection of Plane

- sketch as per dimension

- Solid Modelling

- Fillet or chamfer

- Save the Model.

MODELLING: 

THE CHOPPER CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:

1. Chassis

2. Engine

3. Front Fork

4. Pedal 

5. Chain

6. Oil Tank

7. Gas Tank 

8. Transmission Belt

9. Front fender

10. Rear fender

11. Front Wheel 

12. Rear Wheel 

13. Kick Stand

All parts are designed seperately and finally assembled together to get the American Chopper.

Week 1: 

PARTS: 

1. Transmission Belt

2. Kick Stand

3. Front Fender

Command's used:

- 2d sketch

- lines and circles

- Extrude

- revolve

- Dome

- Fillet

        

Week 2: 

PARTS: 

4. Oil tank

5. Chain 

6. Pedal

Command's used: 

- 2d Sketch

- Sweep 

- Revolve

- Splines

- Trim

- Extrude cut

In oil tank we are creating two solid bodies then we are combine that  two bodies in to a single body by combine feature. Than we have add fillet at corners.

  

To make the new block inside the drawing while creating the chain is more useful for easy mirror.

Week 3: 

PARTS: 

7. Front wheel

Command's used:

- 2d Sketch 

- Sweep 

- Revolve cut

- Circular pattern 

- Combine 

- Extrude cut

- Revolve cut

In Front wheel we are using Circular Pattern for making the spider web for the rim. Revolve Cut is also used for the rim to get the better surface finish.

Week 4: 

PARTS: 

8. Rear Wheel 

9. Front Fork

Command's used: 

- 3d sketch

- Sweep

- Revolve 

- Mirror Pattern 

- Dome

- Projected Curve

- Combine

    

The Rear Wheel  is same as the Front Wheel Chain Sprocket is the additional part we have to design in the Rear wheel.

The usage of the projected curve and sweep is given for the better finish in the handle of the Front fork.Mirror pattern is also used to make other side of the Front fork to complete.

Week 5: 

PARTS: 

10. Chassis
11. Engine

Command's used:

- Sweep

- Extrude

- Revolve 

- Dome

- Project curves

- Split

- Mirror

In Chassis model most of the surface modelling tool like sweep and project curves are used to give the better finish.

 

The project curves are used to make the engine Exhaust, most of the Solid modelling features are used to finish the engine.

 

 Week 6:

12. Gas Tank

Command's used

- Surface loft

- surface sweep

- Boundary surface

- Revolve

- Extrude

- Knit surface

- Projected Curves

 

 In gas tank both surface and soild modelling tools are used for the better finish.

After making all the parts, material for each part are given by the apperence option in solidworks. This is useful to give the more realistic outlook of the product.

ASSEMBLY OF THE AMERICAN CHOPPER:

 To make the assembly of the American Chopper we have to use some of the mates. They are following below

- Concentric mate

- Parallel mate

- Angle mate

- Distance mate

 - Advance mate

 

PHOTOVIEW 360 RENDERING:

   To make the chopper more realistic to use the photoview 360. The usage of commands in photoview 360 like camera, Decals, Edit scenes and etc.

 CONCLUSION:

Modelling, Assembly and Rendering of an American Chopper is sucessfully Done by soildworks.
