3d solidworks model

[mbork-1]

Hello,

i know lot of guys here made high quality bike parts, not only for the game, but also for rendering and so ...

So i would like to buy some high quality model of Wheels or Exhaust,for example
Because i am noob in the 3d object making,for me its important to have file in Solid Works programme

PS sorry for my english

You want to purchase high quality model files created using CAD software?

[MX_Gh0ST]

I got solid works from my school!

Its the learner license but you can do as much as you want!

Greetings Gh0ST

Yeah exactly,so can somebody help me out,I need model just for school so I will not use it somewhere else...
So I would like to buy it,if somebody have or can make part for me

My first thought would be to contact P2sta about his wheel models. I have hesitation about selling models made in a university version.

check out GrabCad, you may find something on there!

[p2sta]

i don't have any CAD models, i know few guys around here did some bike parts in solidworks (Shadow did the kx parts, some other guys did tripleclaps and forks), etc. but not much you can do with it i guess. there are tons of free cad models all over the net

Pls correct me if I am wrong but is the Nurbs modeling tool suitable as surface creation for a CAD software ?

[p2sta]

not exactly, nurbs modeling is based on curves (still just surface), CAD stuff are made from operations with solids (its a solid object, not just surface)
1. solid, 2.mesh, 3d. nurbs

[p2sta]

reading again what you asked and i think you meant the same thing

[m121c]

CAD objects and mesh objects are like vectors against pixels. Vectors are made up of mathematical expressions while pixels are made up of squares. Same as goes for the objects, your CAD model is made up of mathematical expressions while your mesh model is made out of polygons. I think I have a Renthal sprocket I made in CAD awhile ago if that would work along with some hubs (I think).

Although you would be impressed with the capabilities of going from CAD to Mesh, I know with Inventor to 3ds Max it works really well.

[Kording]

But it does not work the other way around ?
In my understanding CAD software is basicly used for, I would call it, "real live modeling" such as CNC cutting/turning. In order to do that a CNC lathe for example needs specific measurements. Would it be possible to get those measurement/data from 3ds max ?

[p2sta]

no idea tbh, never tried it

[m121c]

You could use units and snaps in 3ds max but i would think it would be less efficient and not as accurate.

You are right CAD is for real world things so measurements are needed if what you are making is something to be brought to real life either through construction or manufacturing.

thanks you for all the answers,

Now i know what i need: Wheels of Dirt bike(with tyre or without doesnt matter)
