This one is done by chamfering of the bottom edge of the nipple.

Smooth thread ending could be obtained this way too, but this could be applied only to the bolt thread end:

Oh GOD some of these look so real! :D It inspired me to attempt this haha. I did the model in sketchup in about an hour and its rendering in kerkythea atm the uh metropolis light transport setting i think :confused:
I Downloaded a heap of metal materials for KT but it won't show them in the list for some reason :/ So i just put a picture as the texture in sketchup. This is my first attempt at anything 3d so go easy :P

This is just a screenshot of it in sketchup, and ill post the render when its done :yepp:

P.S MIKE scale down your images! no ones monitor is 12MP!

Test render of the EK 10mm compression fittings.

If I saw that image anywhere but in this thread, I would swear it's a photograph. Nice rendering.

Thanks for the guide a few pages ago, Metric!

Thanks The Shooter :)

The EK compressions fittings have a different knurl finish I think... (the finish is based off of a file Eddy_EK provided for me)

This thread= OH MY GOD!!!!!

Hell I couldn't even work sketchup for s$@# to make the window panel for a haf 932 for a cnc guy locally to cut something out of the panel. :-( Look at you guys making entire cases then rendering like mad.

yeah, I hate sketchup.

Could any of you do a lian li b70b case. With the front grill\mesh as an aluminum grill. With holes for just the fins of a pair of orange XIGMATEK fans? And put some black with white light Vandal Resistant Switches.?
And maybe a cool window cut out. A 360 rad in the top. A cool cutout maybe? If anybody are bored and don't know what to make.. It's for a new build i'm going to start.. Would be helpfull..

Not really measured correctly since I dont have the motherboard/cpu in my hands. But still. What du you think about the pattern and what needs to be changed? Might even step down to the shop (im one floor above) and machine it out.

http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/1770/blockwi.jpg

Laine: Great job on the modeling and wonderful build so far :)
Mick64: Very sharp as usual. I noticed that your case seems to have a very matte finish, have you tried alternatives?
OggeOJ: Nice work with Solidworks. Plans on adding an o-ring? ;)

Been away from the desktop due to winter break - just a quick, fun render for tonight. Mostly a WIP, I plan on finishing up the mounting system in the next few days :)

Yeah, but I dont know how to solve that. AFAIK, there are no square o-rings, and I cant fit one in. But I still have a year or so before I actually have to machine this (and two more for VGA and NB)

I'm fairly certain a custom o-ring can be fashioned as the D-Tek Fuzion uses a custom, molded one. O-ring cord is another one I can think of :)

Finished up my CPU waterblock. The design was inspired by EK's Supreme and Supreme LT - with an attempt to combine the jet plate of the Supreme with the compactness and low profile of the LT ;)

Enjoy

Metric I love your renderings - do you have any of the Heatkiller Rev 3? I want a wall paper but my desktop is 2560x1600 - any help is appreciated. Wish I could get started rendering like you. What tools do you use again?

Hello everybody, I've been browsing the XtremeSystems forums for a while and I wanted to share an idea I had about a high flow waterblock, copper for the base, plexiglass around, and whatever for top & fixation. Both holes are G3/8, one directly on the copper and the other one on the plexi. My idea of making a circle block is that revolution pieces may be cheaper to manufacture.
Here is a picture of what it could be: (looks like a gun in fact :shrug: )

hazilo
Wow, thats nice and original :)

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2253/satflsk.jpg

Fixed edges, barbs, screw holes and how to attach the damn thing to the motherboard, with a separate metal... thing.

No, I have not copied this design. Not at all... ;)

hazilo, nice idea. But how you want to make it sealed? In most of the products o-ring is squeezed between two elements (like a pump and top). In your case you will not be able to squeeze it as it will be more like push-in. But i like the idea, plenty of copper to dissipate heat, by making more holes/grooves in a inner cylinder you can even make it better.

Might as well supply the drawing sheet.
Which is not done halfways and probably wrong.
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/6236/ritning.jpg

OggeOJ: Impressive work since I saw it last time. Looks great! :)
Jon K: Maxwell Render for raytracing and Solidworks + Rhino for modeling. I don't have any retail waterblocks modeled up at this time.
p0Pe: Thanks for the comment. That reflection came from the lightbox HDRI I used.

Currently in the queue...

wow everyone has some great ideas :) ppl have some skills :D

nice work metric... stellar as always... makes me jealous

i know ive been gone some time, but ive been extremely busy.... anyway had some spare time and started to work with solidworks/maxwell ... still have some things to figure out
but i think im on the right path... thanks for your help emir... set me in the right direction at least :P haha

here's a render of i7 series CPU block im gonna be working on... there are some mistakes in this model (mainly the fins) ... but it was basically just a test to get an understanding of the rendering software... hopefully the next ones will be better... this one similar to others blocks... credit goes out to this thread.. lol :P

Wow very nice eKirts, i'm impressed :clap:

Wow emir, that second one even looks like it has a greasy fingerprint on it. Looks great :D.

And Mick, I was wondering what kind of material you are using to render the metal/alu parts? I can never seem to get those looking that good :(.

As it looks these are in fact real ones!
Only one thing to say: good job! :clap:

Great to see some designs become reality :up:

eKirts: Looks like a great start. Best of luck with your design :)
emir: +1, nice to see some of the designs posted here becoming real, physical pieces.

White delrin material available soon...

Oh that's nice it's like an HK3 and Supreme LT progeny. :)

veerrrry nice emir :) glad to see a production of a render :D makes me all warm and fuzzy inside... lol....

thanks metric.... much appreciated... that block looks sexy... that white delrin has good reflection... looking forward to being able to use it :)

been slowly working on stuff... still working on the sink design on the base... ill post when i have something more concrete

metric, nice looking block but I question whether or not that much unsupported Delrin can handle the pressures put upon it from mounting, I see an awful lot of flex potential. ;)

A build I plan to do somewhere this year:

http://i49.tinypic.com/6s8mra.png

reminds me of the design from the film tron

Thanks Alexandr0s, hazilo, Metric and eKirts.

Thanks dude, nope it's not flat, i'll take a render of the underside and show. Besides i'll change the design.

A universal mobo block that can be used with the thickest compression fittings.

I'm a decent modeler, but a novice renderer. These are modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Twilight (a derivative of Kerkythea). I'm using the plain default sky and sun settings for lighting and either MLT or BPT. Seems to work ok, IMO.

These are part of a larger project I'm working on so more to come... :)

Okay, that wooden surface is just creepy, that´s how realistic it looks :eek:

nothing too special, just a slot load drive. the exterior dimensions are correct but some of the the smaller details were eye-balled from photos...

i'm happy with the how the bump map looks, but the metal material isn't quite right yet...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2723/...58b8fd2b_o.jpg

You guys are too talented for me, but reading this thread did inspire me to finally see if I could do anything with Sketchup (I know this thread is about getting life like renders, but you gotta start somewhere). Wanted to say thanks to Mick for posting the Gentle Typhoon Fans, and to kinghong1970 for the MCR 320. I turned the 320 into a 420 (not very elegantly, but it works for what I need), and painted the GT fans red. So - here's the sketchup I did trying to model the lower compartment in the Black Pearl build I'm doing.

They are based off of Feser's compression fittings. They are not "perfect" copies but pretty close. I'll post the models soon...

Here's just one more render of them. The fittings are actually using a perfect mirror material with some fine bump maps to show the machining groves.

Also using this HDR for lighting: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/...d7e5f5aa_o.jpg

Why not, how can i do it in Solidworks?


Was bored today, made some renders with my new system. But couldn't decide which one looks better; matte or shiny?

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5200/1copykb.jpg

http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9650/2copywx.jpg

Matte looks more real in my eyes. Beautiful renders both though!:up:

This is not a watercooling part, but its a render none the less!

Its a wooden carrying frame for a fruit crusher I worked on a while back, anybody like Cider? Ooharrr

This render only took approx 3 minutes to complete.

Thanks woffen!
