My video presentation

CADHP2 Day 19

Today I rendered my last animation and started to finish creating my drawings.

I had to render my animation twice, because the preview quality was not good enough to see that not everything was the way it supposed to.

I finished also the toughest drawing. The body

CADHP2 Day 18

I didn't start to render on turntable animation yesterday, because I wanted to see everything with "fresh eye" today. And it was good decision. I made few adjustments to the animation itself and now I'm ready to render.

During creating third animations I got an error message

After restarting the computer problem went away.

Now all of my animations are finished. Two of them are rendered.

I have also my photos

CADHP2 Day 17

Today I worked in 3ds Max. I added most of materials yesterday, but I had to make some changes. Mainly in glossiness and reflectivity of materials.

In the beginning

In the end

I made also turntable animation, so we can look at camera all around, and shorter animation to show how parts in the lens are moving.

CADHP2 Day 16

Today I added finishing touches in Inventor (few more emboss features - in this project you can't have too many) and worked on 3ds Max file.

And something strange happend. When I imported the main assembly as body objects, one of the glass lenses turned into lightbulb (?!). If I import this one particular lens as mesh object the lens looks normal.

The odd thing is, that I have 2 more similar lenses in whole camera and those are imported without any problem. Thoughts anyone?

So I just switched this one lens as mesh object, and added materials. Test render looks like this

CADHP2 Day 15

 So proud. Almost everything is done. The main body, lens with embossed texts, and assemblies. Also part of drawings is ready.

Body assembly:

And Canon EOS 1000d is looking pretty great.

I also started to work on the 3D Max file. I got white background and lights ready.

CADHP2 Day 14

Today a lot of work had been done. To the body, pictograms and parts.

Is start to look really well. I'm happy about it.
