mrrhode04 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Let me start with this is not in Sketchup, but it is in the program that I use to draw my stuff. If it needs to move that is ok. So while looking at Tiods cutting boards it gave me the idea to see if I could model one in Solidworks and render it to see if I could get a good idea of how different woods would look together without having to grab some wood. It only take a couple of minutes to change everything. After doing this I am planning to model the humidor that I am making the main body is going to Walnut but I am not sure what I am going to make the accents on the corners. What does everybody think?

mrrhode04 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thank you, now hopefully I can make one in real life that looks that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I read " rendering and cutting board " and my mind said put it in a pot and cook it long and slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it said Reindeer Cutting Board, and I thought we had another victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Something's off with the projection... You've got more of a trapezoid than a rectangle... What camera did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrhode04 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 This isn't a real picture. I use Solidworks (3d design program) for my job so I quick modeled a cutting board and then rendered the model to make it look real to get an idea of what it will look like. I try to do this with most of my projects to get idea if the woods will look go together. I have also done it for other people that I know, it really helps to get idea before spending the money.

Trip Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 ==>This isn't a real picture. Yea, I got that... Was refering to the camera, projection and perspective settings used for the render... It's been many many years since I last played with SW and/or AC, so can't remember which setting does what. I believe you can also render textures imported from a wood species library -- but that functionality is way after my time... Every once in a while I'll stop in to see what the Engineers are up to (and make a general nuisance of myself)... We do a lot of injection molding, so SW is the preferred design tool... The MFG Eng and Tech Transfer groups use AC -- we have to keep the two groups in separate areas to prevent dogmatic software wars --- the Accountants act as a DMZ...

mrrhode04 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 You are correct I had perspective turned off. When I do my modeling I don't use it because while working in the model it can make certain things look a little funny. I just didn't remember to turn it back on when doing to rendering, it was a quick five minute rendering. Yeah I use Solidworks when I am design the machines but then use AutoCAD when I do the P&ID.
