Blender Precision Modelling Guide 7 from rab3d.com Modelling a 608 Bearing Part 4a: Constructing the Bearing Cage. With the inner race, outer race and ball.
Understand Blender's Python API to allow for precision 3D modeling and add-on development. Follow detailed guidance on how to create precise geometries, complex texture mappings, optimized renderings, and much more.
This book is a detailed, user-friendly guide to understanding and using Blender’s Python API for programmers and 3D artists. Blender is a popular open source 3D modeling software used in advertising, animation, data visualization, physics simulation, photorealistic rendering, and more. Programmers can produce extremely complex and precise models that would be impossible to replicate by hand, while artists enjoy numerous new community-built add-ons. The Blender Python API is an unparalleled programmable visualization environment. Using the API is made difficult due to its complex object hierarchy and vast documentation. Understanding the Blender Python API clearly explains the interface.
You will become familiar with data structures and low-level concepts in both modeling and rendering with special attention given to optimizing procedurally generated models. In addition, the book:. Discusses modules of the API as analogs to human input modes in Blender. Reviews low-level and data-level manipulation of 3D objects in Blender Python.
Details how to deploy and extend projects with external libraries. Provides organized utilities of novel and mature API abstractions for general use in add-on development What You’ll Learn. Generate 3D data visualizations in Blender to better understand multivariate data and mathematical patterns.
Create precision object models in Blender of architectural models, procedurally generated landscapes, atomic models, etc. Develop and distribute a Blender add-on, with special consideration given to careful development practices. Pick apart Blender’s 3D viewport and Python source code to learn about API behaviors. Develop a practical knowledge of 3D modeling and rendering concepts. Have a practical reference to an already powerful and vast API Who This Book Is ForPython programmers with an interest in data science, game development, procedural generation, and open-source programming as well as programmers of all types with a need to generate precise 3D models. Also for 3D artists with an interest in programming or with programming experience and Blender artists regardless of programming experience.

To Precision Modelling in Blender The Precision Modelling Guide offers a detailed walk through of blenders mesh modelling capabilities and should allow a new user to become familiar with Blenders way of doing things. For Hobby Engineers and Artists this guide will show you how to: model parts, build complex assemblies extract geometry from the assemblies to create new parts. The Guide uses three tutorials to walk you through Blenders mesh modelling capabilities. An 11 part tutorial that takes a new user of Blender through the process and tools to accurately model a 608 Bearing Part 1 - Laying out the reference geometry. Part 2 - Detailing the bearing Race cross section.
Part 3 - Adding the Ball Bearings. Part 4 - Modelling the Bearing Cage.
Part 5 - Detailing the Bearing Cage Securing Clasp. Part 6 - Adding the Dust Shield. Part 7 - Modelling the Circlip. Part 8 - Low vertices bearing. Part 9 - Rendering the Bearing. Part 10 - Creating a Page Template. Part 11 - Laying out the Bearing within the template.
This tutorial takes the bearing produced above and models a guide assembly from it, introducing a few new tools and techniques on the way. Part 1 - Modelling The V-Roller. Part 2 - Constructing the axle, washer and nut. Part 3 - Producing Detailed Threads. Part 4 - Laying out the Assembly Drawing.
This section covers constructing a casting model from an assembly of components. The section details how to extract geometry and locations from the component assembly, for use on the casting design.
Part 1 - Laying out the component assembly Part 2 - Initial casting design Part 3 - Support Brackets Part 4 - Completing the casting Edit I have now compiled all the precision modelling tutorials into a down-loadable pdf book. The Precision Modelling Guide to Blender is a 151 page walk-through of Blenders mesh modelling tools and design techniques. Illustrated with over 600 images it gives a clear and concise introduction to using blender. By progressing through the guide you will be introduced to many of Blenders commonly used modelling tools and also a few of the not so well known ones.
The tools are presented in a real working design example with explanations of why the tools are used and not merely a demonstration of the tools in use Don’t be fooled by the name the guide is useful to anyone wanting a clear introduction to Blenders mesh modelling tools. The Precision Modelling Guide can be downloaded from Edit: VideoTutorials of the Guide are now being added to the site. Edit 2/07/2008 Due to my Unlimited Bandwidth host putting an undisclosed limit on my bandwidth I have had to temporarily remove the pdf guide from my site.
I will reinstate it when I find a more reliable host. Modelling a 608 Bearing Just a quick update. Parts 1 to 10 are now finished. Part 1 - Laying out the reference geometry. Part 2 - Detailing the bearing Race cross section. Part 3 - Adding the Ball Bearings.
Part 4 - Modelling the Bearing Cage. Part 5 - Detailing the Bearing Cage Securing Clasp. Part 6 - Adding the Dust Shield. Part 7 - Modelling the Circlip.
Part 8 - Low vertices bearing. Part 9 - Rendering the Bearing. Part 10 - Creating a Page Template.
Part 11 Laying out the Bearing within the template is underway. C & C welcome. Wrightboy: Dude this is amazing, i’m learning so much lol. But i’ve hit a slight problem, i’m on the material part, my materials are appearing on the wrong sidethe outside is staying gray, and the inside is getting the image map and gloss etc Glad you found the modelling bit useful.
At first that’s all I intended to do but got carried away with the rest. You found my first “clanger” I tried to get a good reflection with Ray Mirror, but it was getting to complicated for a basic introduction. So I disabled Ray in the Render panel (screen grab next to the rendered bearing) and just used the reflection map. I never took the bit about setting up ray tracing out. I will do that now.
