Happy New Year to all of you! Welcome back to CADable. This is Engineer Ibrahim Omer. In this tutorial, I will show you how to model a bowl with surfacing. After modeling bowl, we will export our 3d model to Keyhsot for rendering. I SOLIDWORKS, during surfacing we will learn the following commands: 1) Planner Surface 2) Reference Plane 3) Axis 4) Boundary Surface 5) Circular Pattern 6) Knit Surface 7) Thicken 8) Cut Extrude 9) Fillet 10) Appearance After that we will export bowl in Keyshot. Here we will apply different material on the model. We will also apply different HDRI to the model with different backplates. We will also match our model with backplate using perspective match. In keyshot we will learn the following: 1) Material 2) HDRI 3) Backplate 4) Perspective Match 5) Render It is a good exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginners. Kindly use play pause technique for practice. I have attached files in the description for practice. Feel free to ask your queries in comme

Match surfaces manually

One disturbing issue with "Match surface" is that it will try to transfer the 1st and 2nd row of control points to the target edge while keeping the distances between them relatively unchanged. This is usually great for the majority of users, because it's predictable and even usable in specific cases. However, there must be an option to "unclock" the aforementioned correlation between the 1st and 2nd row of control points and instead let "Match surface" adopt the same distances as the target control points. With that option turned on, the surface to be matched will become perfectly matched to the target one. To demonstrate the HUGE advantage of a potential "Adopt" option that I just described, here is a simple way to achieve the necessary correlation between the 1st and 2nd row of control points by "mirroring" the distances from the target surface to the opposite one. Lets hope that "McNeel" will consider adding such an option in the future releases of Rhino.

Perspective Matching helps you interactively match the Perspective camera to the camera angle with which a background image was taken. In order to activate Match Perspective, please load a Backplate. https://manual.keyshot.com/manual/tools-3/match-perspective/
