Stu, looking really good man . I'm still looking for good Acrylic and Derlin been on the hunt for about a year
thanks! I'll get it eventually, I'll have a look on the KT forums and see what they have there. I think my work needs improvement but for a first few goes it's not so bad. While I'm here, can anyone point me to that picture of a render featuring a concept bike of some sort? I need inspiration and I can't find it anywhere. I think it was by one of you guys.
bentleya, all of the acrylic renders I did with KT was with the default one in the glass pack they have on the website. As for the delrin, I used this pack: http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=42&func=fileinfo&id=37 and changed the underlying base color to a very dark grey/black on one of the slightly diffused plastics.
Here's a remake of that Danger Den block I posted earlier: The model is from here. Finally figured how to get the properties right for acrylic/glass, although a few hundred more passes would have been nice, and some way of removing those orange speckles from the insides of those barbs.
Background is just a floor piece with some reflection and i'm using a spotlight to get some shadows . I'll try adding more lights at some point.
Some awesome renders coming out here! Just made me get off my ass and install 3ds from my old desktop onto the new i7 -> Metric - Thats some pretty impressive renders dude! did you create all the mats yourself?
That's my final 360 heatsink render. I'm sick of looking at it now. Look, I even made a little glass pedestal for it.
Thanks, and yes all of the materials I use are either the default ones that come with Maxwell or I create them myself Been awhile since I've done a CPU waterblock, so here's one. Sort of a mix between a HK 3.0 and a EK Supreme LT Download 3D PDF The center of the block (around where the CPU core would be), the fins switch to a micro pin matrix to increase turbulence and then it switches back to laminar flow
Im makeing a guess here that you are talking about creating turbulance in the block and then on the way out smoothing out the turbulance
@ metric - Damn I really want to have a bash using maxwell now you said some of those were default mats! but at 671 € its a tad over my price range for software
One more higher resolution render: loner1994: Yep, if you mess around with the .pdf I linked, you can zoom in and see the pin and fin structure.
could you send me a 3ds file of it an ill see if pro enginer can do som fluid dynamics tests to check it is worling dont ask how a 14 year old has pro enginer (£2000+) but i would like to thank alcatel lusent (if it is still called that)
I just looked through this thread, and I'm afraid I just came a little. I REALLY need to give Kerkythea/some other sketchup-renderer another go!
Here is the file (Converted from Solidworks 2009 to PRO/Engineer, so if the conversion didn't work I'll try and upload in a different format): http://files.getdropbox.com/u/2028/Xtreme Systems/projects/waterfall_prototype_waterblock.asm.1. I ran some FloXpress tests myself at 22psi and seems to be good, lots of turbulence and increase in pressure around the core area . If someone can cut the 0.5mm slots for the base and is willing to do it for a reasonable price, then I'll definitely consider it
