SolidWorks doesn't turn out renders this good. Will Maxwell Render simply take in a SolidWorks file and be able to render it?
EDIT and your O-Rings are sometimes intricate. Mine are also custom. Should I worry about not being able to get an O-Ring like that? Did you create O-Ring 'channels' for it to fit in? If so, did you make it to where the channel's area was less than the cross-sectional of the O-Ring to compress it?
Is this a universal block? I've been dreaming of this design for ages, please Swiftech or Eddie make this!! Please :up:Quote:

This block needs to be done now, I think Eddie could make this for us, I'd buy one instantly :)
Maxwell does support solidworks directly, visit there site :up:Quote:

but if you base your designs upon a Oring then you will never need to worry
about weather or not you will have a oring for it. the channels are slightly larger to accept compression and as well as the depth of the channel
heres a good intro http://www.efunda.com/DesignStandard...ring_intro.cfm
its not that thin, still sits to be .5" the top is .25" which is pretty normal forQuote:

the block is based upon the 4870, but it can be universal just need to change
the mount a bit
software:Inventor Pro 09
time: 50+min
renderer software: Maxwell Render
render time: 3+ hr (stock q6600 w/ HDT-s1283+ultra kaze)
post software: Photoshop CS3
post time: 8+ min (resize, gamma adjustment, frame)
these are quick renders, so i desaturated them because i didnt want to deal with color correction :up:
just image smoked clear top, brushed stainless steel mid and a bright bead blasted copper base :up:
LGA 775 OR 1366 mount :up:

MY School has a HAAS VF-6TR but I think they might notice if it goes missing. Plus I am not sure I can fit it in my Trunk :DQuote:

I need some good render SW since AutoCAD 2009 is OK, but not great.
im sure you could make it happen :up:Quote:

im not sure if there any good stand alone rendering systems as complex as maxwell render
theres flamigo (sucks) POVRAY (sucks) and few other ones you can try.. :up: :rofl:
Wow evil that CPU block looks the goods!
The jet impingement plate looks a little Swifty Storm like :D

The other other non-school projects I have done in the labs are designing a small bar in AutoCAD and using the plotter to make GIANT templates so my friends could cut the panels easily with a lot or trouble.
It is good to see school funds at work:cool:
Well yeah, but the baseplate is nothing like it....Quote:

if you've applied for the demo they will link you to your necessary pluginsQuote:

Nice work.
