Photo Realistic Rendering
PROJECT 1:
PART MODELLING, ASSEMBLY AND PHOTO REALISTIC RENDERING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER
- OBJECTIVE:
- To do part modelling of American chopper part wise using solidworks software.
- Assemble the complete chopper and to do Photo realistic rendering in the solidworkds software itself.
- To do the modelling with the help of Blueprints.
- To gain knowledge of american chopper partwise and its assembly.
- INTRODUCTION:
Hello everyone,
I'm Shiju. I'm a mechanical engineer.I will discuss about the design methodology of American chopper, partwise and its assmebly and its photorealistic rendering using Solidworks software.
Here both surface modelling and solid modelling are adapted.
The listed below are the parts of American Chopper that neede to modelled and assembeled followed by rendered using solidworks software.
- Transmission Belt
- Kick stand
- Front-fender
- Rear fender
- Chain
- Oil tank
- Pedal
- Front wheel
- Rear wheel
- Front fork
- Chassis
- Engine along with exhaust manifold
- Gas tank
- DESIGN APPROACH:
Here we model each par(SLDPRT) seperatly and do assemble in seperate file(SLDASM) , so this approach is said to be Bottom - up approach.
UNIT:-1
- FEATURES AND TOOLS USED FOR MODELLING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER.
1.Boss Extrude:One of the most basic and handy tool that is used to convert 2d sketch to 3d solid.

2.Revolve Boss/Base:One of the most basic and handy tool that is used to convert 2d sketch to 3d (CYLINRICAL/SPHERICAL)solid.

3.Circular pattern:It is the handy tool , used for repeat the any 3d feature in angular direction.

4.Dome:It is one of the handy tool used for creating elliptically shaped bulged out type surface.

5.Fillet:It is used to create the round surface at sharp edges .It has 4 options:1)Constant size fillet 2)Variable size fillet 3) Face fillet 4)Full round fillet.
