SURFACE MODELLING OF SUNSEEKER PREDATOR YACHT ASSEMBLY AND RENDER
.
ABSTRACT
The main abstract of this project is to be create a sunseeker predator yacht by using solid works CAD tool. It includes part modeling, surface modeling assembly and realistic render
INTRODUCTION
Sunseeker International is a British luxury performance motor yacht brand. Originally named Poole Power Boats, the company was founded by brothers Robert and John Braithwaite in 1969. The company changed its name to Sunseeker International in 1985 and has since become a global icon.
In this project we have to make a predator yacht type model as reference we finish a complete model using surface tools in solid works it also covers with complex curves , part designing, advanced curve handling ,projected curves , 3d sketch with professional surface handling . The sketches, dimensions, constraints are to be applied to get finished yacht completely . The design approach used here is parametric based feature modeling which is very handy modeling which doesn’t have complex process . In end of this to make a assembly of complete yacht as per guidelines with realistic render using photoview 360 and solid works visualize
OBJECTIVE
The yacht modeling has objective of making complete predator yacht. The objective start with part modeling of yacht in the part modelling phase it has to model the additional parts of yacht other than surface modeling of yacht in part modeling came to know about usage of features and sketches and learn about how to achieve complex shapes in solid modeling . The second phase of design is surface design which is a power features to achieve complex and organic shapes in yacht. The surface tools have a specific guide lines to follow which are concentrate on continuity of curves in smooth manner, surface doesn’t under goes any gap to achieve a class A surface . The features like knitting, surface fill are used to achieve this guide lines
In end of the part modelling and surface modelling the assembly phase is started its followed to make complete assembly of yacht
The final phase of the modeling is to make a complete and realistic rendering of yacht using photo view 360 in inside solidworks and solidworks visualize which is a standalone tool used for rendering
METHODOLOGY AND PROCESS
THREE PHASES OF YACHT MODELING
- Part modeling

PART MODELING PHASE
FEATURES USED IN PART MODELING
Extrude boss/ base
