Indian Auto Rickshaw (Chennai) - SolidWorks Modelling

Hello again, this time I have modeled an 'Indian Auto Rickshaw' commonly known as Tuk-Tuk in various Countries and in Chennai, it is known just as 'Auto'. I took around 6 hours to model this one. The dimensions were just taken randomly by referring google images. The link for the YouTube video is here.

The Auto while modelling is shown below.


This time I have added a scene in SolidWorks.... You can also give some useful feedback...:-).



Now to the rendering part, I rendered using PhotoWorks and then later using KeyShot. The rendered image using photoworks is shown below.



Now, the rendered images using KeyShot is shown below. Parking Lot HDR was downloaded from KeyShot website.






And that's all in this post. Hope you like it!

Material Handling Fork Lift Robot - SketchUp Modelling

Hey guys, this time I am presenting you the 3D model of my Under graduate Project 'Material Handling Fork Lift Robot'. Well, I had modeled it a long time ago which was before 2 years. Now, I have rendered it with KeyShot. 

Here's the 3D model of my Project


I had used an Arduino Uno Controller to control 2 DC Motors and a Servo Motor. The Front Wheels were coupled to the DC motors. The mechanism used here is a rack and pinion. The pinion was coupled to the servo motor which was mounted on a L-Clamp. This model can be downloaded from here or here. The Working Video of this 3D model is shown below.


The rendered image of this model was done using Keyshot which is shown below.





Rendering in Keyshot is really fun and awesome. Hope you like it!

Mobile Robot Concept Design - SolidWorks Modelling

Hi there, this time I have modeled a Concept for Mobile Robot based on the combination of Helmet and Computer Mouse (I too know its sounds funny!... but you know experimenting with different kind or shapes of designs helps to enhance our design skills). This is my first concept model :-). 

So, the mobile robot concept design while modelling is shown below


 It took me around an hour and 30 minutes to complete this model. I have even uploaded my model on grabcad.com, if to want to download or modify it you can download from here.

Now coming on to the rendering section, firstly I used the inbuilt PhotoWorks 360 in SolidWorks and then used KeyShot to render. Luxion KeyShot is a good rendering software for the beginners. It can be downloaded from here.

The rendered images using PhotoWorks 360 are shown below.

 

 

 Now the rendered images using KeyShot are shown below.

 


 KeyShot is pretty impressive software to render and is an ideal rendering software to those who are new to this field.

Hope you like it!

Samsung TV Remote - SolidWorks Modelling

Hello again, this time I have modeled my TV remote using SolidWorks. The dimensions of this remote is neither precise nor accurate because I took the dimensions randomly. It took me around an hour to complete it. I got even more comfortable with SolidWorks and I love modelling in SW. Modelling in SW is kind of easy and very satisfactory.

Here's a look of Samsung TV Remote while modelling.


The Rendered Images of this TV remote is shown below. The rendering was done using PhotoWorks.



And here it is.... This is what which impresses me a lot. The PhotoWorks rendering comes along with SolidWorks bundle and is very easy to render. 

And that's all guys. Hope you like it.

Bottle Cap SolidWorks Modelling

Warm greetings everyone!, My name is Sravan Kumar. I have created this blog in order to show my 3D Models and Renderings. I had (also having!) a great interest in Design, 3D Modelling and Animation, but neither I was exposed to any 3D Modelling software nor Animation Software (except Google Sketchup, Though I love Sketchup, I couldn't model complex surfaces in that!). So, After finishing my studies, I wanted to learn a 3D Modelling Software. So, I took a look at the list of 3D Modelling Software in Wikipedia. I just couldn't figure out What to choose!. My needs are, the software should be powerful, easy to learn, can perform complex modelling and has a easy UI. I found my needs in SolidWorks. It was really easy and it is a powerful one. Then, I started to download tutorials from YouTube. There were many videos based on SW 3D Modelling, I eventually created a collection of SW videos which is over 10 GB of size!. It helped me learn the basics and intermediate skills of SolidWorks, and then I started to practice a lot. I am still learning a lot of new things out of the tutorials. Here are some of my models created using SW tutorials.

This is the first one to model, it is a Bottle cap with my name engraved on it (learnt from http://www.solidworkstutorials.com/solidworks-bottle-cap/).

The rendered image of the above model using PhotoWorks.


Eventually, I got an idea to model my own Tupperware Water bottle cap. So, I took measurements randomly and modeled (my first own SW model).


The results were really impressive!, It was looking like the real one when rendered.... Even my friends didn't believe when i showed them the rendered images below. I was really stoned by the way the output was. At that moment, I felt so happy and proud....

SolidWorks really did impress me. And now I am really happy to work with SolidWorks. I would recommend SW for those who really want to learn a good 3D modelling software.

Hope you like my Post!.
