SERKAN ÇELİK. CAD & 3D Modeling Software for Mac & Windows | Ashlar-Vellum™ Success Stories. Simplicity Pays Off. Andy Marshall’s focus on simplicity has led THD Electronics to award-winning recognition in the field of guitar amplification. THD amplifiers have attained a level of flexibility and quality no other manufacturer can reproduce. Cobalt™ 3D modeling software has significantly helped Andy as he designs with his musician customers in mind.
The THD line of amplifiers have drawn a world-wide fan base which includes well known musicians Eric Clapton, Peter Buck, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, Ben Harper, and Eric Johnson, just to name a few. For over 19 years, Andy’s work has built a reputation for quality that enabled THD to initiate the American “boutique” amplifier market. As a result of his efforts in this market, Andy hears daily from guitarists who are pleased with the consistent quality in the 3- and 4-channel guitar amplifiers. All channels provide a distinctive sound—extremely important for recording artists and sound aficionados.

Date: 2009Role: Art Direction & Graphic Design.Tools: 3D StudioMax, ChaosGroup Vray, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator. These last days, I’ve been busy modeling a Guitar half stack amplificator.
As a guitar player and huge fan of all kind of metal music, I’ve chosen the perfect mix for heavy riffing: a ENGL head special Edition + MESA/BOOGIE cabinet. Additional technical notes: The modeling part was done with Autodesk 3D StudioMax. For the render engine I’ve chosen my favorite weapon (Vray.Chaos Group) for solid shape looking and soft shadows. Also I’ve created a virtual stage setup for quick rendering time. The texturing part was mainly done inside Adobe Photoshop Cs using a lot of photo reference.

En:eagle3d:eagle3d [www.matwei.de] Some time ago there was a question in one of the Eagle-Newsgroups if it is possible to translate the 2D-layout into a 3-dimensional view. It was not possible. So I started the development of Eagle3D. After a couple of days I had an ULP and a library with 3D-POVRay models of electronic components. Out of a board like this: a picture like this is generated. It is possible to change some of the colors. Load the board into Eagle Start the ULP Select the options in the ULP-dialog Let the ULP create the POVRay-file Start POVRay and load the produced file Start raytracing Wait for about 30s Finish You can download the latest version here Here are all parts as images.
Before you use Eagle3D for the first time you should carefully read the documentation. With every new version I will send a newsletter. There are a lot of parts missing in the library. This picture was created with v0.93. This PCB was planned to be a MP3-Player but was never built. How to make 3D image using Eagle3D and POV-Ray. Download the Eagle3D software and Install it. Open your board file in Eagle. Click on ‘ULP’ icon: A new window will open asking for a ‘.ulp’ file. Browse into your Eagle3D directory (where you installed it) and select the file '3d41.ulp'. Now select the language you want, and then browse for the output file. Make sure your PCB layout contain ‘dimension’ else you will get en error message: You can do this by clicking on ‘wire’ icon; select the dimension from drop down list (20) and draw a border across your layout.
If every thing goes right then a new window will pop up: You can change camera angle, lights, colors etc. Now you will have a ‘.pov’ file. Click Tools => Edit master POVRAY.INI A notepad file will open. Library_Path="C:\Program Files\Eagle\ulp\Eagle3D\povray" Make sure the directory points to where you installed Eagle3D. Now push the ‘Render’ button. If you did everything right, an image should appear. Not all components have shown up on the board. #macro BL_1X17() #end union{ Render 3D images of your PCBs using Eagle3D and POV-Ray.
