Liquid Cooling Render Gallery

Been working on my "water cooling" case design. Made a few refinements and decided to show it without any components this time…..

I'm loving solid works and maxwell......

FrostyPanda: Great design. With your current pin structure, it would make more sense to use the same flow path as the Fuzion as PrometheusCon suggested. You could always have the middle section be made out of acrylic as well

EDITED: Forum rules require me to not talk about alternate methods of obtaining software........

I'm pretty sure it's 620mm front to back and 600mm top to bottom, but I'm at work at the moment and I can't be 100% definite without checking...

Eek, be careful saying stuff like that around here.

Hi guys, i loove the topic, it inspires me. Your works are very nice

I've tried to render my old work but i didn't get the quality of yours. Which programs and settings you use?

My Solidworks Photoworks render:

I'll manufacture this block in a few days and test it.

Well time to jump into this thread. I found this thread amazing to say the least. I started reading this thread about a month ago and thought I would get into this rendering stuff. I already love doing Mods to my computer, my latest http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=216792 and the addition of a quad core over my E8500 was influenced by yes rendering. This is the best stuff to really get the most out of a high end machine. I am a product designer by trade and have used Ideas for the last ten years but now we have switched to Catia, a lot like Solidworks from what I'm told. I'm still learning Catia but have been doing CAD for almost 20 years now so making the switch isn't that hard. Catia has an integrated rendering software but it is very limited. Never heard of Kerkythea, Blender before this thread but over the last month I have tried to learn as much as I can. My first challange however came from Catia itself. Now my job is to build only designs that can be manufactured so I built my cpu cooler based off the D-Tek design to scale just to learn Blender and KT. When you take a very small part 3x3inchs into blender it didn't work to well. I also found STL files look like crap from Catia so I found that scaling the parts up 15x and exporting .wrl from Catia into Blender works very well if you use layers as it comes in Blender as all seperate surfaces. I then use Blender as an exporter really to get files into KT. I'm a one month Noob but I'm learning, lighting and Materials are my weakness so please understand. Ok enough talk now here are some pics.

Here is what Catia can do with its own internal rendering

With KT I've gotten this far

Nice to see we are inspiring people to give rendering a try! Looking good, keep em coming...

**Sparky** · 02-11-2009, 08:06 PM

I suck at stuff like this but I may just have to try it out and play with it

**bentleya** · 02-11-2009, 11:40 PM

Nice , renders Mangofire and emir, look better then my ones, so your doing good as they your first ones

**Mangofire** · 02-12-2009, 06:46 AM

I have a question about Blender. I use the Blender2KT program which uses Python. Once my Catia data is in Blender I use the Kerkythea rendering to generate a scene file I can import into KT by itself. The problem I have is I want to change the output location of this file. It currently outputs the file to /user/local apps/TEMP. Does anyone know how to change this?

**neo mike** · 02-12-2009, 09:49 AM

Hey guys i downloaded KT, im a complete noob, do i need a sketch program to draw my waterblocks, then import them into KT ? you can draw with KT ?.

**emir** · 02-12-2009, 10:42 AM

Thanx for your nice comments guys.

). Manufacturing this saturday.

@Mangofire your block is very cute with soft edges

emir what socket is that for? i need a nice cpu block for a am2/am2+ socket...

**bentleya** · 02-12-2009, 01:07 PM

More tests

got a bit of metric's style in it

(hope he dos'nt mind)

**NaeKuh** · 02-12-2009, 01:26 PM

bridge needs to be higher.

trust me!

LGA775 and 1366

But i'll made the same block for AMD.

**FrostyPanda** · 02-12-2009, 06:44 PM

Well these next few renders from me don't look as realistic as my other one, but I'm still working out the kinks in my Maxwell skills....

**bentleya** · 02-13-2009, 12:27 AM
