Armoire

Just finished cooking though the render machine. Simple armoire to model. This armoire has pocket upper doors and it is semi parametric. This armoire was model 99% with Microvellum. The columns and pyramid entablature are AutoCAD solids. The material is ash.

Wall Built-in

Wall Built-in

This is a wall built-in high end unit. The rendering is not the best but this project was sold to the client long time ago so I do not have to take it any further.

Let me point the renderings defects from a photo-realistic point of view:

1. The lighting in the cabinet is 3" 20W halogens; I need to change it to a 2" 10W halogen so it gives a warmer feeling to the wall unit.

2. The carpet is tiling. Tiling means those little squares you see all over the floor. That needs to be smooth and uniform.

3. The wall paint and the lacquer top coat is too glossy. I need to turn the shine down a notch.

4. The wood grain is vertical all over the place. I need to change the grain rotation for the base, the soffit, and the crown to give it a more realistic presentation.

The reason I posted this rendering although is not really finished is to show what Microvellum can output some times.

3D Shop drawing

3D Shop drawing

So everyone has a way of doing their shop drawings. 3D drawings are nice but 2D details are the king when it comes to a shop drawing and translating the manufacturing information so anyone can read it. It doesn’t matter what language you speak the 2D shop drawings are universal. So here is my way of saying "nightstand". The idea is to draw it in 3D with all the G-codes attached and then somehow extract the 2D details out of the model. I use the "sectionplane" command of AutoCAD to achieve this. I know some users use the "clipping plane" command to achieve the same. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>So here is a question: any strong thoughts on one way over the other? Or has anyone found another way of doing this?<o:p></o:p>

French Console

French Console

This is one of my first parametric furniture. It started as an experiment and ended up to be fully parametric. The idea of having this type of furniture pieces parametric in a manufacturing repetitive environment with all the G-codes attached is priceless

Contemporary Kitchen - Final.jpg

This kitchen was modeled and rendered for a cabinet maker in Ft. Lauderdale for presentation and sales purposes. Apart from the pretty picture this kitchen is fully engineered with all high end appliances and all the manufacturing information attached. Although I mentioned this to the cabinet maker he was only interested for the rendering and not the manufacturing information. I am still trying to figure that out.
