Photo Realistic Rendering

PHOTO-REALISTIC RENDERING USING SOLIDWORKS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE AMERICAN CHOPPER & ITS COMPONENTS

Objective: -

An American Chopper will be modeled using the CAD (computer-aided drafting) program (SOLIDWORKS) and will then be rendered using SOLIDWORKS Visualize to produce a photorealistic representation of the vehicle. from the first conception of an American chopper to the model's final representation. Working on a physical model for this assignment aids in better understanding the tools in Solid works.

Introduction: -

American choppers are unique motorcycles that draw attention to the concept alone. These bikes were advertised by customers at trade exhibitions or sold at auctions to generate money for charity. In this project, we assembled a model of an American chopper using Solid works after building each part. I've always wanted to create a full vehicle on my own as an automobile design engineer, and with this project, it came true.
This project demonstrates how to create an American motorcycle using the CAD program SOLIDWORKS, from sketching and modeling the individual components to the final rendering of the assembled motorcycle to provide a photo-realistic view.

Design Methodology: -

• Part Modeling
• Assigning Appearances to each part
• Assembly of Parts
• Assigning Decals, Lighting, and Camera
• Rendering.

Description: -

When modeling a part, the 2D sketch is created first using the tools in the sketch tab, and the 2D sketch is then turned into a 3D part utilizing features in the features tab.

FEATURES: -

• Boss Extrude: This function enlarges the item in three dimensions following the drawing plane.

• Extrude Cut: This ability is used to cut or remove a 3D object in a straight line following a drawing.

• Fillet: A feature used to create smooth, rounded internal or external edges to prevent sharp edges.

• Lofted Boss/Base: The lofted boss is a characteristic that is utilized to create Complex Shapes. It accomplishes this by interpolating surfaces between different model cross-sections. Sketches, faces, or edges can be included in these cross-sections.

• Split: The split tool is used to divide a single solid part into two solid pieces. It is used to project an object onto curved or planar surfaces.

• Dome: A dome-shaped extrusion, such as an elliptical dome, can be made with this feature.

• Shell: The shell feature is used to create a hollow space in a solid part by choosing the solid part's exterior wall and subsequently removing the inside portions. Additionally, it is applied to lessen a particular thickness.

• Combine: The combined tool is used to integrate two solid elements that cross each other and form a single solid part.

• Chamfer: The term "chamfer" refers to the process of making a sharp edge or corner tapered rather than perfectly square.

• Linear Pattern: The pattern is created using a different number of instances than what is needed to do so.

• Curve-Driven Pattern: A curve-driven pattern follows a previously designed curve to create any pattern.

• Circular pattern: A feature that converts 3D features into circular patterns based on the number of insistences is known as a circular pattern.

• Revolve boss base: The revolve function is utilized to create a 3D extrusion that is cylindrical or circular along with a specified reference axis according to a sketched design.

• Revolve cut: Revolve cut is used to remove or lessen the extrusion of cylindrical spherical surfaces.

• Copy/move the 3D body: This function allows you to move or copy the 3D body between two locations.

• Mirror: By using the reference of the chosen plane, the mirror is used to reflect a feature or body.

• Sweep: You can use this function to sweep any completely developed sketch alongside the path.

• Sweep cut: Also known as a sweep feature, sweep cut performs a cut along the sweep path and is directly proportional to sweep.

• Swept Surface: This technique creates a surface parallel to the path along which the curve is driven.

• Boundary Surface: A surface between two finished surfaces is created using a boundary surface.

• Loft Surface: A loft surface is used, together with a guide path, to create a loft between two profiles.

• Knit surface: A knit surface lowers the space between two surfaces' edges and is used to knit their two free or open edges together.

• Surface Trim: It has two modes: Standard and Mutual and are mostly used to remove material from a surface.

• Projection Curve: A projection curve is a three-dimensional curve that is created by projecting two different two-dimensional curves onto two different planes.

• Blocks: You can create, save, edit, and insert blocks from the sketch entities and drawing elements you frequently use, such as standard notes, title blocks, label positions, and so forth. You can also attach blocks to geometry or drawing views.

• Trim entities: This tool is used to cut any extraneous lines or entities from a sketch.

• Appearances: A model's appearance describes its outward characteristics, such as color and texture. Physical qualities, which are determined by materials, are unaffected by appearances. Every substance has a default appearance.

ASSEMBLY: -

• Putting parts together on an assembly line is the most common definition of assembly, but it can also refer to generating a finished product that fulfills its intended purpose.
• When a component is changed, the assembly is automatically updated, i.e. Rebuilding the document will either happen automatically or prompt the user to do so.

Make the bottom of the spline vertical and give it a weight of 350mm. Also, make the spine tangent to the arbitrarily placed line.
• The curve we obtained after projecting the curve, as you can see, is not perfect, so we created another spline at a different plane (the right plane), starting from the circle's center and moving down to the origin. We then made the top of the spline horizontal 215mm and added weight of 165mm to the end of the spline.
• The convert entity option Now that the curve has been perfectly projected, we will use the swept option and create a circle to sweep around the spline.

• Once more, chamfers are provided. A second sketch is then made on the front plane and a second on the right plane.
• The exhaust tube is then created by using the sweep tool. The tube is then mirrored after that. All the parts have now been assembled. The top plane is then used to build an aircraft.
• Then a curve that was previously formed is added to another sketch that is made on the front plane. To create a sweeping portion, use this sketch as a guide.
• Once more, a drawing is made on the front plane and rotated to create the air intake. The portion is covered with a variety of fillets. A sketch is then generated on the top plane, cut extruded, and copied across the part using the circular pattern tool.
• Afterward, create the exhaust tube. Four curves are drawn on two distinct planes; each curve is created using the projected curves option, and each sweeping section is created using the swept option.
• Similarly, follow the same steps to create a second portion. The exhaust tip is then chopped with the split tool using the sketch that was previously drawn on the top plane.
• The spark plug's face and another curve on the front plane should then be sketched so that the spark plug wire can be created. Utilizing a similar process, create the same wire on the other spark plug.
