Edstock Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just found a neat site,TUVIE DESIGN There are other very interesting posts, so do check out the whole site. "The bike was modeled from scrunch in 8 days using Solidworks an engineering application. I used Solidworks rather than an animation package. Solidworks allowed me to change proportions and dimensions faster, it is easier to handle large assemblies. Also it is an engineering application using Nurbs for modeling. That gave me absolute control of the dimensions. However In order to render the images I had to use XSI which does not support Nurbs. Instead I used Rhinoceros 3D to translate the geometry. Some of the details, like cables and pipes were added using XSI and Rhinoceros." FWIW, had a demo of Rhinosceros a while back, really fine program for the cost, around $900. My needs are more simple, CorelCAD will do, for $500 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
