Re: Render Battle #4 - (You choose the topic!)
Pib is usually shown in white PETG. I decided to do something different. I've made pib transparent to let everyone see how it works inside. Pib has fluorocarbon wires in teflon tubes to move its fingers. Motors in the top part of pib pull these wires, and springs in the fingers help them move back. I've highlighted the wires and tubes with bright colors from pib's logo.
I've also rendered some additional shots:
Re: Render Battle #4 - (You choose the topic!)
Taking @richard_doyle's approach from the previous render battle, I decided to carefully wrap my entry in a nostalgic childhood memory.
Meet p.i.b. E102! This modified p.i.b. references the character E102 Gamma from the game Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast. Sonic Adventure holds some of my favorite childhood memories and is my #1 game of all time. And Gamma, is one of my favorite characters of the Sonic series.
"E-102 Gamma is a member of the E-100 series robots created by Dr. Robotnik (also known as Dr. Eggman), the main antagonist of the Sonic series. Gamma's story is a tale of self-discovery and redemption, as he breaks free from his initial programming to ultimately challenge the very creator he once served, showcasing the capacity for change and growth even within machines. Through his journey, Gamma highlights the themes of autonomy and the potential for good even in creations designed for destruction." - Chat GPT
It's only fitting that an AI wrote that last summary paragraph about an AI character from the 90's game (which uses AI characters) from which my AI p.i.b. is modeled after; which is in fact the AI that wrote that last paragraph.
Here are the same renders but in larger detail:
Re: Easyway to Draft multiple faces
@aaron_skidmore I would like to suggest one more method which may not be as quick as the draft option in the extrude feature but many times it helped me. Special case could be whenever I want the draft feature separately.
Please note that you need to deselect the top faces of each letter once multiple faces of protrusion are selected.
Thanks
- After selecting the neutral plane, to select entities to draft just right click on screen and select option "Create selection" which will allow you to select multiple entities from available drop down options.
- In this case I have chosen "Protrusion" option which further helped me to select all the extruded faces of text.
- After this selection again deselect the top faces of text. Simply clicking back on top of each letter will automatically deselect the top faces. You will get the desired result.
Please note that you need to deselect the top faces of each letter once multiple faces of protrusion are selected.
Thanks
Color text or layer properties in drawings?
When are we going to be able to add color to our dimension text or other text on drawings? Layer properties?
I'm constantly amazed at how clunky OnShape is when you get to the 2D drawing phase.
