The conceptual model creation is described in the following article: IVANOVA, Ioana and Stefka NENOVA, Computer Graphics as a Means of Increasing the Quality of Military Education, Report, Sofia: Yearbook of the Military Academy, 2013, pp. 141-155; http://rnda.armf.bg/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Binder-1-322.pdf; ИВАНОВА, Йоана и Стефка НЕНОВА, Компютърната графика като средство за повишаване качеството на военното образование, Доклад, София: Годишник на Военна академия, 2013, стр. 141- 155, http://rnda.armf.bg/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Binder-1-322.pdf ANIMATION PROCESSES: 1. Animating the model: it is performed by creating keyframes in the track under the working space that can be adjusted, changed and deleted. 2. Animating a camera: it is analogously to step 1. 3. Rendering process: it is required to be completed before saving the final image or animation in a desired format.

Proper Method to Produce Lobster-back Duct Bends

Beginner
One type of industrial component I have been involved with the design and manufacture of is lobster-back bends. This type of duct bend is made up of segments cut from flat sheets or plates, rolled into cylindrical parts, then assembled. These can be light sheet-metal or manufactured from thick plate. This quick tutorial is a supplement to the one I produced an outline of a method I have used modeling this type of component using Alibre Design. As this supplement concerns producing parts ready for manufacture and applies to whatever software you have used, that is not important as this short tutorial is to outline turning your modeled bend into the flat profile ready to be made into the completed bend. In this modern world, the bend parts will be cut out using CNC laser, or CNC Plasma cutting machines. Sometimes we produce the nc programs ourselves or we are required to produce the correct files for the laser / plasma department to program and cut out. Making the program to cut out the parts starts normally from a 2D dxf file at a scale of 1 : 1. This is the first part of the process that has to be correct. If you produce this dxf incorrectly the finished parts will be useless. Producing this at the right scale, 1 : 1 is different with different 3D cad applications, other problems can be caused by you working in different drawing units. If you are not doing the program, talk to the person who is to make sure you produce the dxf as required. Having a large quantity of wrongly cut parts is not a good thing

3D city maps are so much more than the simple evolution of paper maps. 3D city models already play a game-changing role in planning and architecture. Here are 4 most common approaches to the creation of 3D city models - 2 free options, 1 very expensive option and 1 industry-standard option.

MAKING THE SEEDS: 1. Creating the shape of a seed: a seeds is modeled based on a standard sphere primitive, slightly deformed with a Noise modifier to achieve a higher level of realism. 2. Applying the material to the seeds: the material applied to the seeds is intended to give them an icy effect. Resembling white pearls, they contrast against the background of the fine velvet petals. 3. Creating the material: the setting in Material Editor are shown in the figure in Step 3.

PETAL CREATION PROCESS: There are two main methods for modeling the petals as follows: 1. Surface modeling method: draw a 2D surface of suitable shape using the Create > Line tool and a volume to the surface using the Shell modifier. Edge softening is achieved with MeshSmooth modifier. 2. Using Symmetry Modifier: if we are aiming for absolute symmetry of the two halves of the petal, we must use the Symmetry, but this step must precede MeshSmooth. 3. Solid modeling method: place a standard Plane primitive in the workspace (Perspective Viewport). The desired shape is obtained by selecting and moving vertices. The remaining steps of shaping the desired form are analogous to those of the method described at the beginning of the tutorial. 4. Clone the petals: using Pivot > Affect Pivot Only, where by default the pivot point is at the center of the base of the object. In this case, a total of five rows of four petals are modeled. They mus be grouped by Group so that they do not move during further work.
