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.

  2. thanks Michael :)
    There are really several ways in being able to achieve the Tower of Power :) hehe

  3. 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!
