Steps to the Tower of Power

Chess Piece

In creating this tower of power or the chess piece rather, I have used Autodesk Inventor’s time-saving tool which is the Design Accelerator. I used the Shaft Generator component of Design Accelerator for the basic profile of the chess piece. Afterwards, I applied two revolved cuts for the curved and the tapered cylindrical surfaces of the chess piece. Then, I applied a cut over the top-most surface where a square was drawn and then applied a circular pattern so that I would have 10 occurrences of the cut portion. This was rendered in Inventor Studio using the Pleasant lighting.

Hi! Karla

Sassy! Just what Johnny Bravo used to say. Great 3D rendering - hat off! By the way, as a lover of 3D rendering and animation. You might find the article of Michael Alan Hamlin interesting entitled e-services Philippines Manila Bulletin’s Business Agenda dated December 12, 2005. Kindly,check it out for yourself!
