3D magazine (render)

How to make a 3D magazine render
-
Step 1:
Make a coversheet using photoshop or other picture editing software. Store it in the same directory as the saved 3d files.
-
Step 2:
Start a Solidworks sketch and insert the image produced, using the "sketch picture" command
-
Step 3:
Use the inserted sketch and dimension a rectangle to fit the image. Than extrude the sheet 02mm (paper thickness). The inserted image will disappear.
With the linear pattern command, create a magazine (for example 40 or more pages)
-
Step 4:
Use the decal option to add the saved cover image to the top of the model (magazine)
-
Step 5:
Make an assembly, and stack some magazines on top of each other and render...
-
Step 6:
Any changes in the coverpicture, will be visible in the 3d model/assembly when opened again.
