The orientation on the X and Y axis keep getting offset so that's why I think the lighting is a little strange. I'll go back and set the axis' back to the way I want the and shoot another one.

I see lots of Solid Works users. Any Inventor users willing to give this render a shot? =)

Re: Weekly CAD, Mech, & Programming Challenges By DiscoBots 2587
 

Creo render with Perspective View.

Here's a rendering done via Autodesk's software. It was modified in Inventor and rendered in Showcase. Admittedly, Autodesk's "make it pretty" button is a bit clunkier/harder to use than SolidWorks' offering in PhotoView 360.

First Render Run of the day, Mind you this is one of my first renders using Solidworks so its not the best it could be. Ill update this post as I make more.

You might notice I have a different color scheme, figured I'd play with it a little with how I'd color a robot, however still very similar to the actual robot.

Apologies for not posting new challenges last friday. I was chillin at the Ozark Mountain Brawl =). Check back next friday.

Edit: Sweet renders!

Took me a while to get to this, but here are my renderings.
All done in Autodesk Inventor 2013 with Inventor Studio.

Inventor's renderings aren't wonderful, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

New CAD and Programming challenges have been posted. Link in the original post.

I just spent about half an hour making the transmission. I tried video taping the whole thing.... It only captured 9 minutes of it... :confused: :eek:

I will try a video tape the rendering also, but for now i will just upload the transmission CADing Video. (well tomorrow i'll try to)

Re: Weekly CAD, Mech, & Programming Challenges By DiscoBots 2587
 

Here is my Render :D

I'll upload the video later.

EDIT: here is my video. Sorry its so short...

Re: Weekly CAD, Mech, & Programming Challenges By DiscoBots 2587
 

I really like that render

Re: Weekly CAD, Mech, & Programming Challenges By DiscoBots 2587
 

Here is my FULL Video of me creating the transmission.

The one in the video is a 3 stage while the one I rendered is only 2 stage. So Yes I made two different transmission.

Enjoy!

Re: Weekly CAD, Mech, & Programming Challenges By DiscoBots 2587
 

My overly late render. This is my first render ever actually.

A bit of unsolicited advice:

Use hole wizard! It makes everything better and captures design intent more clearly.
