Computer aided design
Overview of week 2
- Raster and Vector
- 2D and 3D
- Render
- Animate
- Simulate
If possible final project.
Compress the images and videos, and attach with the assignments.
Raster and Vector:
| Raster Image | Vector Image |
|---|---|
| Made of pixels arranged in a grid | Made of mathematical paths or shapes |
| Resolution-dependent; loses quality when scaled | Resolution-independent; scalable without losing quality |
| Photos, detailed images, complex graphics | Logos, icons, illustrations, scalable designs |
| PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF | SVG, AI, EPS, PDF |
GIMP
GIMP is the best tool for Picture editing in raster form, I used the gimp for time still it has good user interface to do the editing easily.
GIMP is the Raster image editing tool so I choose it.
By using these I manipulated my anime version image and did some corrections for to look good one among others!
Furhter I create the some funny story like magazines by those tools, I’m thinking with some funny thougts and genereate image “Working in the undewater” based my final project idea…
I created this image which is on the picture by using the ChatGPT, and these are the prompt I used, to create a fish, drone, anime version of me…. Then I work in gimp to create this story.
3D Design:
3D design involves creating digital models of objects using CAD software like Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and Blender. It is widely used in engineering, robotics, manufacturing, and animation. Designs can be parametric (dimension-based) or freeform (artistic shapes). Engineers use FEA and CFD simulations to analyze stress, aerodynamics, and heat transfer. 3D printing helps turn digital designs into physical prototypes. Reverse engineering allows redesigning and improving existing components. Advancements in AI and generative design are revolutionizing 3D modeling efficiency.
For this assignment I am planning to do the design in Blender and Fusion 360.
Blender
Blender is a fully integrated 3D content creation suite, offering a broad range of essential tools, including Modeling, Rendering, Animation & Rigging, Video Editing, VFX, Compositing, Texturing, and many types of Simulations.
I got a lot of expirence in blender, dedicately I work in the bender and do some basic designs and animation by refering some random tutorials in youtube, after I got the interest to do the design like spider robot which can go anywhere secretely, I found the wonderful spider animation tutorial and did the design and animation by follwing the guy in youtube.
However Blender is the sea we can’t learn that within 1 week, but it has lot of interesting things behind it, I love to work the blender for my next projects.
Fusion 360
Fusion 360 is a powerful 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) tool developed by Autodesk. It integrates design, engineering, and manufacturing workflows into a single platform, making it ideal for mechanical engineers, designers, and engineers working on product development.
It has the variety options like parametric modeling, Form modeling, Simulatons, Generative design, Rendering….
I have lot of expierence before, I focusly do the spider robot with parametric modeling, I get some references from online and to knew how they are done their model. I took reference image and do the parametric modeling in Fusion 360.
At first I sketch it as per the dimension and extrude it fully then I get this structure
After completed the leg part I created the body part with sketch and dimension it as per my assumption, follow it up I extrude it.
Then by using the circular pattern I created the legs in all sides and did the colours for greater looking attraction by using the appereance option.
This is the final output of my Spider design.
Render
Rendering is the process of generating a realistic or stylized image from a 3D model using software like KeyShot, Blender, and Fusion 360. It simulates lighting, shadows, textures, and reflections to enhance visual quality.
By using Fusion 360 I made some small amout of rendering by adjusting the background and scene setting
This is my final rendering image
Image & Videos Compression
Image tool
By using the Image tool website I compressed my Images upto 50 - 20 Kb
After selecting the images which is collectively I filed in one folder, I set the image size and reduce it . Then I delete it from the web server by using the deleted button.
Veed
By using the Veed website I compressed my videos respective sizes.
If the Video not compressed into expected size then repeat the process often then it will get reduce that size.
