Re: pic: 2011 Frame
Well, it may not have been done in photoshop's software package, but it's clear that this picture was digitally transmuted somehow. Whether you used a CAD program to render onto this image, or someother photo-editing equivalent ot photoshop.
If not, then you have baffled at least a good dozen photoshopping pros who looked at this. If you'd care to share how it was edited, many people are now interested. |

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
Maybe that "photoshopping" is actually known by the name of "powdercoating" or "anodizing". The photoshopping pros are simply baffled because it is real.
Or maybe you just can't believe that SoCal weather is that sunny and dry. ![]() |

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
Yup, well its just painted, our sponsor used a military grade solar reflective enamel instead of normal paint.

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
I didn't mean to sound rude, the paint job must have been done rather well
We've been talking about powder-coating for a few years now, we just end up scrapping the time requirement. Looks good, does this fancy enamel add any weight comparatively speaking? How exactly was it applied? |

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
I can confirm, this is not photoshopped. Though it does have a very interesting appearance, this is due to the first stages of the powdercoat process, enhanced by the lack of a clear gloss coat. This does make it look like it is straight out of Inventor or Solidworks or something, but regardless the shadowing would be very challenging to do in photoshop.
On the more important note, the frame looks great. You guys should be proud. (I do find it strange though that you powdercoated your first iteration of your bot. That is one generous sponsor.) |

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
Wow, the frame looks great! It definitely does have that CAD look to it though, I was convinced it was just a render with an outdoor background at first.

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
Thanks for all the compliments.
My team is blessed in that our extremely generous sponsor (they do welding, machining, buy and give us materials, allow us to use there facility if needed, provided mentors, and basically whatever we need) asked if they could paint the robot once they finished welding it. it only added about half of a day to the turnaround from us getting them the design to us getting it back.

This paint doesn't add any noticeable additional weight compared to powder coating but it does have a really different texture. Quote:

But again thanks for all the nice comments. I will try to post pictures as we assemble the robot. ![]() |

If it is CARC, or something similar, it doesn't like to photograph well. |

Re: pic: 2011 Frame
It may be, I don't remember if that is what he called it, but it does not like to photograph normal, it does this every single time. But I think it looks cool when it photographs like this. |
