Photo Realistic Rendering
AMERICAN CHOPPER
OBJECTIVES :
The Main objective is to understand and implimenting the shell feature,blocks linear pattern and solidwork user interface.These are all the design process used in spider webbed wheel rims.
The utility of projected curves and revolved cut features has done in solid works.Gained insights on composite curves and pierce feature in solid works.
INTRODUCTION :
The American Chopper is an American based motorbike is still on the field from 2003,used in many films & televisions.
Mr.Paul teutul and his son paulie, who manufactured this custom chopper motor cycle.The contrasting work and creativity of father and son made this motorcycle a good looking and a brand.hence these achivements made them to start a production company of American Chopper on 2008 by Mr.Paul and his son.which gave them a great success in their production.
SOLID WORKS :
Solid Works is a CAD program which helps you to draw any kind of simple and complex products and assemble it.
Solid Works is apart of a modelling software that allows you to design many type of objects in three dimentional view.The technique is to draw the 2D sketch in its required planes and then the 3D model has been created by using its extruding and lofting tool.
APPLICATION OF SOLIDWORKS :
- Automotive
- Defence
- Aerospace
- Machinery
- Sheet metal work
- Heavy equipement
- Medical tools
- Consumer products etc.,
COMPONENTS OF CHOPPER :
- Transmission Belt
- Kickstand
- Front Fender
- Rear Fender
- Oil Tank
- Chain
- Pedal
- Front Wheel
- Rear Wheel
- Front Fork
- Chassis
- Engine
- Gas Tank
1.Transmission Belt :
A belt is a loop of flexible material used to link engine and rear wheel in American chopper motorcycle.The belts are also used to transmit power in this case it transmitts power from engine to the rear wheel.
Tools Used : 2D Sketch,Trim,Extrude,Fillets.
Before Render:
After Render:
2.Kick stand :
While the chopper in at rest, it has to be ballenced by something for that purpose the kickstand is used.The kickstand is in leaver like structure which is fixed on the chassis under the engine.it flips downwords and make a contact with the ground to keep the motorcycle without lean.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Extrude cut,Loft,Dome,Fillet.
Before Render :
After Render :
3.Front Fender :
The main use of the fender is to prevent mud,small rocks and water to flow in the engine and in the pedal side.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Revolve,Mirror,Fillet,Trim.
Before Render :
After Render :
4.Rear Fender :
Like i explained about the fender it is used for the rear side of the chopper.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Revolve,Trim,Extrude Cut,Shell,Fillet,Split line.
Before Render :
After Render :
5.Oil Tank :
Oil Tank is a part of the american chopper,which contains oil that supplies to the front and rear break systems.Due to the use of oil the breaks are applied correctly without any jam in it.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Trim,Shell,Fillet.
Before Render :
After Render :
6.Chain :
As i said in transmission belt, The chain is also a power transmitting system.
The chain is a group of linked components which links the rear wheel sprocket and the engine sprocket.it is placed clearly on both the teeth of the sprocket.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Curve Pattern,Linear Pattern.Mirror,Fillet.
Before Render :
After Render :
7.Pedal :
To run a motorcycle the gear transmission is essential.Thus it is obtained by a leaver called Pedal is attached with the engine which used to shift the gear and to increase the speed of the motorcycle.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Revolve,Dome,Linear Pattern,Fillet,Chamfer.
Before Render :
After Render :
8.Front Wheel :
The wheels are the main part of a motorcycle,which is used to move one place to another.These wheels are made to cooperate with the radial and axil forces.They also carry many components like breaks,suspention and its final drive.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Extrude Cut,Revolve,Revolved Cut,Fillet,Chamfer,Linear Pattern,Mirror,Circular Pattern.
Before Render :
After Render :
9.Rear Wheel :
Like i siad for the front wheel it is also the same for rear wheel.Thus it is mounted in rear side of the motorcycle and also the main transmission sprocket is attached with it.Now a days in many motorcycles the rear wheel size varries frome front wheel.So that the grip between road and wheel is better than front wheel.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Extrude Cut,Revolve,Revolved Cut,Fillet,Chamfer,Linear Pattern,Circular Pattern.
Before Render :
After Render :
10.Front Fork :
The Front Fork which connects front wheel and the whole body chassis.Basically to turn a motorcycle the front fork acts as important role and also the head lamp, breaks,clutch and throttle handle is also attached in it.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Revolve,Fillet,Shell,Sweep,Mirror,Dome,Linear Pattern,Projected Curve.
Before Render :
After Render :
11.Chassis :
A Chassis is a main body of the motorcycle which carries the heart of a motorcycle engine.The chassis is made stronger as it carries engine components.It is a very important part of every motorcycle in which the rear wheel also attached in it.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Boss Extrude,Extrude Cut,Revolve,Thin Extrude,Revolved Cut,Mirror,Dome,Sweep,Fillet,Chamfer,Projected Curve.
Before Render :
After Render :
12.Engine :
The Engine is a most powerfull part of a motorcycle which produce the required HP of power according to the CC of the engine.Basically there 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines,it is also given according to the CC cepacity.Inside the engine two or fore pistons connected with 4,5,or 6 speed gears.
Tools Used :2d sketch,Boss Extrude,Extrude Cut,Chamfer,Thin Extrude,Projected Curve,Linear Pattern,Circular Pattern,Fillet,Mirror,Dome,Sweep.
Before Render :
After Render :
13.Gas Tank :
A fuel tank or petrol tank is known as Gas Tank,Which stores fuel that supplies to the engine to make the stroke.
Tools Used :2D sketch,Surface Sweep,Surface Loft,Split Line,Mirror,Surface Knit,Fillet,Cut Sweep,Shell,Mirror Face,Extrude Cut.
Before Render :
After Render :
14.Assembly Of Chopper :
In Assembly Of Chopper the parts like Chassis,Engine,Transmission Belt,Oli Tank,Gas Tank,Front Fork,Rear Wheel,Front Wheel,Front Fender, Rear Fender are assembled.
Tooles Used :Mate,Move Component,Concentric,Intersect,Parallel etc..,

Rendering With Photo View 360 :
To Render a part in Solid Works the photoview 360 option is used to enable it go to Tools>Add ins>Photoview 360>Ok.Then go to Render Tools in that we can use final render option to render the parts.
Rendered With Background In Photo View 360:
CONCLUSION :
The American Chopper is a motorcycle which is widely used in america.I have designed the model of the chopper in Solidworks and completed it.By creating each parts like Transmission Belt,Engine,Chassis,Front Fork,Pedal,KickStand,Front Fender,Rear Fender,Oil Tank,Gas Tank,Front Wheel,Rear Wheel the assembly is done.The Decals are given to the chopper in the assembly section.
After completing the assembly the model is fixed with correct lighting and camera view is added to undergo the process of Rendering.The rendering process is done inside the Solidworks by using Photoview360.
Thus by giving all the required paint skins,decals,lightings,cameras,the final render has been made.There is another software called Solidworks Visualize in which the rendering can be done in excellet quality.I didn't have Visualize software,so i did only the rendering in photovie 360.
