Photo Realistic Rendering

MODELLING & RENDERING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER

OBJECTIVE:

To learn solid works commands by moddeling and rendering the american chopper by give it a realistic look.

INTRODUCTION:

The american chopper is desinged in solid works by desining individual parts and assembling them toghther and later editing the appearance, scenes and applying decals to give the chopper its realistic look

EXECUTION:

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

1. Part design: First we design each individual part as per the dimensions using the solid works tools and features.
2. Assembly: The next thing we do is we assmble the modelled parts by giving them mates which will place them at their right position.
3. Rendering: After assembling the parts of the chopper the last thing is to render them so that they have a realistic appearance.

TOOLS ANG FEAUTURES:

Spline : Its defined by its continuously changing curvature, points are placed to shape the curve.

Boss extrude and cut extrude : extrude feature allows us to create or cut solid bodies

Fillet : Its used to give smooth rounded shapes to edges and corners

Loft : Loft is used to create solid body of two or more profiles using guide curves

Dome : Its use to apply domes to faces

Split : This command helps us to eliminate the unwanted area of any part

Dynamic mirror : This command allows the user to mirror the sketch about a line while doing the sketch

Revolve : Used to create cylendrical parts about an axis

Blocks : We can create symbols and re use them whenever we want using this entity

Circular pattern : We can make multiple instances using a single feature about an axis

Linear pattern : Helps to make multiple instances of a single feature about a straight line

Combine : Helps to combine one or more sections of a single part

Shell : Its used to make hollow section from inside of a filled part

New plane : Allows us to create new planes in any direction

Projection curve : We can create a 3D curve by adding two 2D curves using this entity

Sweep : Allows us to extrude a closed profile along a guide curve

Swept surface : Allows us to extrude or sweep a surface along the guide curve

Boundary surface : Allows us to extrude or sweep any surface that can be curvature or tangent continuously in both directions

Surface trim : As the name suggest it allows us to trim any surface

Surface knit :this command allows us to combine two or more faces ot surfaces into one

Rear fender is used as a protection for the rider from the mud water splashing from the rear wheel

FEATURES USED:

1} Dynamic mirror

2} revolve

PART 5: CHAIN

Chain is a most important part as it helps to transmit the rotory motion from gear to the rear wheel

1} Boss extrude

2} Combine

3} Fillet

4} Shell

PART 7: PADEL

Pedals is used to the apply gear or apply brakes and also to rest the foot

FEATURES USED:

1} Boss extrude

2} Linear pattern

3} Dome

4} Fillet

PART 8: FRONT WHEEL

Front wheel of the chopper is connected to front fork by which we can control the direction

FEATURES USED:

1} Revolve

2} Boss extrude and cut extrude

3} Circular revolve

4} Fillet

PART 9: REAR WHEEL

Rear wheel makes the chopper move forward as the power is transmitted from engine to the rear wheel

FEATURES USED:

1} Revolve

2} boss extrude and cut extrude

3} circular pattern

5} body-move

6} protection curve

7} New Plane

8} Sweep

9} Combine

PART 11: CHASSIS

Chassis is like the skeleton, all the components of the motorcycle are attached to the chassis which gives the motorcycle its strenght

FEATURES USED:

1} Project curve

2} Sweep

3} Mirror

4} Boss extrude and cut extrude

5} Chamfer and fillet

6} Dome

7} Split

8} Combine

9} New plane

PART 12: ENGINE

Engine is the heart of the motorcycle, its where the power is generated

FEATURES USED:

5} Circular pattern

6} Dome

7} Cut extrude

8} Chamfer

9} Projection curve

10} Split

11} Sweep

PART 13: GAS TANK

Gas tank is used to store fuel for the engine, it is also connected to the seat

FEATURES USED:

1} Swept surface

2} Surface trim

3} New plane

4} Project curve

5} Loft

6} Boundary surface

7} Surface knit

8} Split line

9} Surface extrude

10} Fillet

11} Cut sweep

12} Shell

ASSEMBLY:

After modelling each part the assembly is done by opening parts in the assembly and applying mates so that the parts are placed at right position and angle.

RENDERING:

After assembly of the chopper we have to perform rendering so that the chopper has a realistic appearance, we have to apply decals to parts then apply background scenes, adjust the lightings and also provide material to the parts.

CONCLUSION

I modelled an american chopper using solid works and also gave it an realistic appearance by rendering which helped me to learn solid works software.
