Why? A guy who just spent years producing a movie costing $300+ million, which made $232+ million over the past weekend alone, is changing how much 3D inundates every area of our life. That guy is director James Cameron, and SolidWorks just announced him as the SolidWorks World 2010 keynote.
Magnificent I say! There is nothing quite like the look of bread being thrown at small, innocent looking bear-child on a cold, icy morning… that is, until it becomes enraged and starts throwing these links back. Pavel Mikhailenko – Chopper concepts, space ships, and hot 3D car renderings is just a little of what Pavel…
Where do you start? At this post obviously, but after that, you’ll want to head over to SolidBox. SolidBox is the new site that takes all the guess work out of choosing what kind of rig you need to spank 3D modeling, rendering, simulation or animation instead of having it spank you. It’s all there and they have big plans for the future.
I thought, this should be a cinch, opened it up in SolidWorks, hit a very large wall and spewed some more coffee… the surface was non-linear. Non-linear, meaning curved. Now what? Well there is an easy way to flatten this shape, but you may not like the results if you want a curved surface.
So, I ask you. How would you approach it? Here’s the sample part and the solution I came up with to flatten the conical surface very fast.
Fortunately, Spencer from IDSketching is here to show us how to do just that. With the following video, he makes it easy for your brain to absorb, giving you reason for why he’s using the markers that he’s using and reminds you about contrast. CONTRAST people!!! c’mon!! Don’t make him tell you again. Show us your moves Spenc.
