Model Design and Construction Pages

In the following pages, I make available for viewing, some of the models which I have build. All the models are designed in Solidworks. I have found the software the easiest to use, and since it is a design package, it allows me to construct very accurate and precise models. Another thing which I like about the product, is it's design tree, and "parametric" approach to modeling. you can easily go back and fix something because of the flexibility of the design tree. In addition, should you decide to change a dimension, the entire model will update as a result (the parametric nature of the product). I can not say enough about the software, and it has become my modeling application of choice. Now having said that, Solidworks is not the greatest application when it comes to rendering. It is not designed to do that. I have found Modo 401, to be a hell of a program when it comes to this. In fact, Photoview 360 which comes with Solidworks, is a Luxology product, the makers of Modo. These two programs, have given me the power to design with accuracy, and then render with fantastic results. you be the judge!

Another application which I have been trialing, is a product called "keyshot" from Luxion. The standard version is about 1,000. Not cheap, but also not extremely expensive. We will see how it goes. I am more of a "quick render" type of guy, just to see what the finished product will look like, and for the, PhotView so far has been more than enough.

Here are some of the models designed in the methods described above. In the future, I "might" make some of these models available for sale. At the moment, if you are interested in any of these models, please drop me a note.
