KB Draws Steve's V-8

[kustomkb]

Thanks Greg, that's what I have been doing for my images. What I meant to ask is, is there a video capture?
The local tech support sends me videos on how they fix my problems.

What does "match machining parks" mean?

 

[Leucetius]

Maybe SW has a similar screen capture function...

Leucetius, that's beautiful! Got any more?

That one in 1920x1080 but I handed the rights over to steve so he may post it or not

Beside that numerous renderings of other engines, I've modeled. By the way: I'm modeling in Inventor and render in 3DSMax

Example:

That's great!

Numerous others? Hey, don't hold back, lets see what you have got, that goes for anyone else who's got something they'd like to share.

I think all I have got left is the rad and base but I've thought that before so I guess all I have got left is everything.

LoL. Typing is not my forte, and I didn't even read it. Machining marks. It gets tedious when you want an appearance pattern to lay a certain way. I still haven't figured out how to simulate a turned face(facing on a lathe). And if you have a cast part with machined features and you want it to look nice it takes time. I've only messed with Photoworks a bit. Screen video capture is probably a third party software, there are several these days.

Ha, Ha, I see what you mean, that looks really sharp. Very realistic. When I said surface finishes, I meant 1 part chrome 1 part gray etc.

I see now, the possibilities seem to be endless.

Amazing drawings :bow: :bow:

At any time in SW you can choose "save as" and select type ".jpg". If you are rendering you want to render to file.

Applying finishes and patterns to a model can take a lot of time. trying to match machining parks or other visual features takes some effort. I don't usually do it unless I'm board. I'll dig one up later.

That is pretty much how Nx is you can add realistic material and surfaces to each face or you can do a full component you can pick. In the show room effect in NX you can set it up with as many or as few lights and back grounds you want. I think most cad systems will do that now. What I like in NX is to turn on the movie capture ant it will record your graphics wind into a movie for you.

hoped you'll like it

Thats the one!

 

[litoweapon619]

very nice

 

[kustomkb]

Added a couple more pieces to the puzzle...

 

[kcmillin]

Ooooh, thats purdy!

Nice job Kevin!

Thanks Kel!

I've been itching to make some chips for this engine so I thought I would start at the top. The blower scoop.

I started with a block in the vise;

And then finish machined the front outer profile, which was offset to leave some stock for work holding, to establish a datum for subsequent operations;

Then the core was roughed out with a 5/8 end mill four inches long;

And finished with a ball nose;

The part was turned on its side and a probe was used to pick up the datum;

Then the mounting counter bores were machined,

Outer contours roughed out;

And finished, again with a ball nose.

The part was flipped and rotated finished side down;

Then the extra stock was milled off and the "top" details were roughed out;

Disaster;

So here we have a finished part, complete with added ventilation at no extra charge!

The bore is flat on the bottom and tapers down toward the back on the top. When I offset the origin for the first operation I left the extra stock on the wrong side.

Oh well the second one is always quicker than the first. I just hope this isn't an omen for things to come..

 

[kustomkb]

Here is the replacement roughed out;

here it is after finish machining and file-work and 220/320 paper;

This is it after 400 and 600 paper;

And then after a quick rub with some paste;

Looks great!
Can't wait to see more

 

[lee9966]

That looks great!

Unless you learned to do some amazing cad renderings... Kidding!

Thanks Triple Slash, but I'm afraid I'll have to ask you not to hold your breath. I've got a feeling that this will be a multi-year build. (major basement renovation to do)

That looks great!

Unless you learned to do some amazing cad renderings... Kidding!

Thanks Lee, but with renderings the experts recently showed us, that is not really a stretch!

 

[stevehuckss396]

That looks super nice!

You didn't happen to make two of them did ya ;D :big:

 

[kustomkb]

Thanks Steve,

Well I guess I did, there's the extra aspirated version. ;D
