3d Modeling

Walkera 4#3b Helicopter Rotor Assembly

• SolidWorks model
• all dimensions are to scale with less than +/- 1mm precision
• rotors have exactly correct pitch and curvature along the trailing edge
• parts are modelled using proper materials/textures and colours (eg. brass, steel, aluminum, plastic)
• all parts move and complicated joints operate exactly as in the real rotor assembly (eg. figure 8 fasteners joining the flybars to the top rotor assembly).

NES game controller

• SolidWorks model showing intricate details (eg. the Nintendo logo embedded in the side of the plug, D-pad's embedded arrows and arcing surface)
• all dimensions are to scale with less than +/- 1mm precision
• parts are modelled using proper materials/textures and colours.

Robocar

• 3D animated model rigged onto an Unreal (3D game) skeleton
• the model is animated to transform from car to robot
• the car launches into the air, and the gun flies up, as the parts rotate and lock into place.
• the car image shows the wireframe, and the robot image shows the skeleton.

Robotech/Macross Veritech

• used in a basic 3D action game (see programming page).

Snoopy

• rigged onto an Unreal Tournament game skeleton and imported into the game.

Knob & various SolidWorks 3D modelling techniques

• Solidworks knob shows a few key techniques including extrusion, chamfers, fillets, and radial patterns (to negatively extrude the 5 cutouts for your fingers).

Coffee Table

• SolidWorks model
• the table has a glass top, an aluminum base, and red rubber pads between the metal and the glass.  It is assembled such that the base is not attached to the table top and it is foldable so it could be slightly adjusted depending on the placement or if you wanted to use a different table top with a different shape.

Kettle

• SolidWorks model
